Article structured data helps search engines understand a page as a specific piece of content — with a headline, author, and publication date — which can make it eligible for enhanced search result features like rich snippets.

This generator builds a valid schema.org Article JSON-LD snippet from your article's headline, author, publisher, and publication dates, ready to paste into your page.

How it works

Enter your article's headline, author, publisher, and publication date (plus optional fields like a description, modified date, and images). The generator builds a complete JSON-LD snippet following schema.org's Article type, ready to paste into your page's head or body.

  1. Enter headline.
  2. Enter description (optional).
  3. Enter author name.
  4. Enter date published.
  5. Enter date modified (optional).
  6. Enter image URL (optional).
  7. Enter publisher name.
  8. Enter publisher logo URL (optional).
  9. Click Calculate to see your results.

Examples

A blog post with an author and publisher

An article titled "How to Bake Sourdough Bread" by Jane Doe, published through DocNectar, generates a complete JSON-LD Article snippet with the headline, author, publisher, and ISO-8601-formatted publication date.

Who should use it

  • Adding structured data to a blog post or news article to improve search engine understanding.
  • Making a content page eligible for enhanced search result features like rich snippets.

Industry applications

  • SEO and content marketing
  • Publishing and digital media

Advantages

  • Generates valid, correctly-escaped JSON-LD following the schema.org Article specification.
  • Supports optional fields like images and a publisher logo for richer display eligibility.

Limitations

  • Adding schema doesn't guarantee any specific search result appearance — that's entirely at the search engine's discretion.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using a headline longer than the ~110 characters Google recommends for the Article schema's headline property.
  • Forgetting to update the "date modified" field when significantly revising an already-published article.

Best practices

  • Keep the headline concise and match it closely to your page's actual visible title, since mismatched schema and visible content can be flagged as misleading by search engines.

Tips

  • Validate your generated schema with Google's Rich Results Test after adding it to your page, to confirm it's recognized correctly before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, with no signup and no limit on how many snippets you generate.
Paste the generated <script type="application/ld+json"> content anywhere in your page's HTML, typically inside the <head> or near the end of the <body>.
No — structured data makes your page eligible for enhanced search features, but Google decides independently whether and how to display them, based on many additional factors beyond just having valid schema.
The headline is your article's title (Google recommends keeping it under 110 characters), while the description is a longer summary of the article's content — both are optional to display but help search engines understand the page.
