What Is Article Schema Markup?
Article schema helps search engines understand your content pages. Here is what it is, the properties it uses, why it helps blog posts and articles, and how the related types differ.
Article schema markup is structured data that describes an article or blog post: headline, author, publisher and publication date. Common properties include headline, author, publisher, dates, description and main image. You use it because it helps search engines understand your articles and authorship. Article, BlogPosting and NewsArticle are related types, each a more specific form of Article. It does not guarantee rich results, since Google decides what to show, but it aids understanding.
What Article schema is, and the properties it uses
Article schema markup is structured data that describes an article or blog post to search engines, including its headline, author, publisher and publication date. It helps them understand your content pages; because it clarifies what a page is and who wrote it, Article schema supports how content is understood, though it does not guarantee any particular result. Common properties include the headline, author, publisher, date published and modified, description and main image, all describing the article. Accuracy matters; because these should reflect the real content and authorship, keeping them correct and matching the visible page is important for valid markup, and it is the type we place on our own informational pages.

Headline, image, dates.
Right type

Why use it, the related types, and rich results
You use Article schema on content pages because it helps search engines understand your articles and their authorship, supporting how they are interpreted and potentially featured. Clear authorship signals help; because it makes content details explicit, Article schema is a sensible default on blog posts and informational pages, though results are never guaranteed. Article, BlogPosting and NewsArticle are related Schema.org types; Article is the general type, BlogPosting is for blog posts, and NewsArticle is for news content, each a more specific form of Article. Choose the closest fit; because they share most properties, picking the most accurate type helps describe your content precisely without overcomplicating things. No, Article schema does not guarantee rich results; it helps search engines understand content and can support eligibility for certain features, but Google decides what to show. It aids understanding, not display; because Google controls the outcome, valid Article schema is worthwhile for clarity rather than as a promise of any appearance, which you can confirm by testing the markup.
