Which Schema Type Do I Need?

Pick what your page is about and get the right schema.org type, its current Google rich-result status, and a starter snippet to fill in.

What does this page describe?

Use Article structured data.

No properties are strictly required, but Google recommends these to show author, date, and image details in search results and to support features like Top Stories.

Starter JSON-LD

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Article",
  "headline": "Example article headline",
  "author": {
    "@type": "Person",
    "name": "Jane Doe"
  },
  "datePublished": "2026-09-01T09:00:00-07:00",
  "dateModified": "2026-09-10T09:00:00-07:00",
  "image": "https://example.com/photos/article-image.jpg"
}

Fill in the placeholder values, embed it in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag, then check it with the validator.
