    What this generator builds
     
    
The output is a complete Article, BlogPosting, or NewsArticle object: mainEntityOfPage
			pointing at your canonical URL, the image as an array (Google's preferred shape), the
			author as a Person or Organization with an optional profile URL, the publisher as an
			Organization with its logo as an ImageObject, and both dates in ISO format. Anything
			you leave blank is omitted from the output rather than emitted as an empty string.

     
    Where to paste this
     
    
Copy the whole block, script tags included, and paste it inside the article page's
<head> or just before </body>. One Article block
			per page, on the article page itself, then confirm eligibility with Google's
			Rich Results Test.

     
    The fields that actually move the needle
     
       
    • Image. Required for rich results, and 1200px+ wide is the bar for the large treatments. Three aspect ratios (16x9, 4x3, 1x1) give Google a crop for every surface.
      •  
    • Dates. datePublished anchors the article in time; dateModified earns the "updated" treatment, but only bump it for real updates.
      •  
    • Author with a URL. A byline that resolves to a real profile page is a concrete E-E-A-T signal, not just decoration.

    Frequently asked questions
     
     Article vs BlogPosting vs NewsArticle: which should I use? 
    Use NewsArticle for timely reporting on a news site, BlogPosting for blog content with a personal or editorial voice, and plain Article for everything else: guides, documentation, evergreen pieces. They share the same properties and Google treats them as one family, so when in doubt, Article is always safe.
     
     Does dateModified actually matter? 
    Yes, twice over. Google can display the modified date in results, which signals freshness, and it helps crawl prioritization. But be honest: only bump dateModified when you make a real content update. Fake freshness bumps are easy to detect and erode trust in your dates.
     
     What are the image requirements for Article rich results? 
    At least 1200 pixels wide for the large rich-result treatments. Ideally provide three crops of the same image in 16x9, 4x3, and 1x1 aspect ratios so Google can pick the one that fits the surface. The image must be crawlable and representative of the content.
     
     Should the author link to a profile page? 
    Yes. Adding author.url pointing to a bio or profile page strengthens entity recognition: it lets Google connect the byline to a real, consistent author entity across your site, which supports E-E-A-T evaluation of the content.
