Article & Blog Post Schema Generator

An Article block tells Google who wrote a page, who published it, and when it was written and last touched. That is what feeds the byline and date under a result, the publisher logo in Top Stories, and a chunk of the trust signal behind the ranking itself. The Article & Blog Post Schema Generator builds it from ordinary fields so you never hand-write the nesting.

Pick Article, BlogPosting or NewsArticle at the top — they share a shape, but Google routes NewsArticle differently, and only it is eligible for Top Stories. Everything left blank is dropped from the output rather than written out empty, so a half-filled form still produces valid markup. Nothing is uploaded.

What Each Field Maps To

• Headline becomes headline, the one property with a hard limit. A live counter under the box turns amber past 110 characters.
• Author name and type become an author node, Person for a byline or Organization for a staff-written piece, with the profile URL as author.url.
• Publisher name and logo become a nested publisher.logo.url ImageObject — the exact structure Google documents and the one people most often flatten by mistake.
• Date published and modified map straight to datePublished and dateModified as ISO dates.
• Article URL becomes mainEntityOfPage as a WebPage with an @id; Section becomes articleSection.

What It Accepts and What It Leaves Out

• Load Sample fills the form from a developer blog post headed How we cut our CI pipeline from 22 minutes to 4, with dates of 2026-02-10 and 2026-06-18 and a synthesised set of example.com URLs. Press it again to cycle through a news article, an over-long headline, and a bare Article.
• Every URL field is checked for an http:// or https:// prefix. A relative path is refused: “Image URL must be absolute and start with http:// or https://.”
• The Script tag / Bare JSON toggle wraps or unwraps the <script type="application/ld+json"> element; use bare JSON for a CMS field that adds the tag itself.
• The header shows a live count of how many properties made it into the block, so you can see a field drop out the moment you clear it.

Tricky Inputs: Headlines, Dates and Half-Filled Publishers

• A headline over 110 characters still generates, but with a warning naming the exact length: Google truncates the rich-result headline at 110 and the rest is lost.
• A publisher logo with no publisher name is invalid schema, so the whole publisher node is left out and the tool says so. Fill both or neither.
• Set the modified date earlier than the published date and it stops with “The modified date is earlier than the published date — swap them, or clear the modified date.”
• Choosing NewsArticle without a publisher raises a warning that plain Article does not, because Top Stories placement needs the brand logo.
• No image URL is a warning, not an error. The markup validates, but Google wants an image at least 1200px wide and the rich result rarely renders without one.
