Definition Article schema operates under the Article main type with NewsArticle and BlogPosting subtypes. Core fields are headline, image, author (Person or Organization), datePublished, dateModified, and publisher.
How it works A JSON-LD Article block is declared on the page. Google evaluates this schema for Top Stories, Discover, and general article rich results. The author Person object links to author profiles via sameAs; this connection strengthens E-E-A-T signals. dateModified must reflect real content change.
Where you see it in Scope Trends **Schema Sentinel** detects missing required fields in Article schema. The **E-E-A-T Report** measures author link, bio, and expertise signals per article.
Frequently asked questions **BlogPosting or Article?** Use Article for general pieces, BlogPosting for personal blog posts, NewsArticle for journalism. Google renders rich results for all three.
**Can the author be an Organization?** Yes, but a Person object produces stronger E-E-A-T signal for Google and AI engines.
