How to add Article schema to blog posts
Last updated:
For posts and articles, AI Search Score checks for Article (or BlogPosting / NewsArticle) schema.
Why this matters
Article schema tells engines this is editorial content, and carries the signals they use to assess and cite it: headline, author, when it was published, and when it was last updated. The dateModified in particular feeds the freshness signals that strongly affect AI citation.
How to fix it
Most SEO plugins add Article/BlogPosting schema to posts automatically — check yours is enabled. To add it manually:
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "BlogPosting",
"headline": "Your post title",
"author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Author Name" },
"datePublished": "2026-01-15",
"dateModified": "2026-06-01",
"publisher": { "@id": "https://example.com/#organization" }
}
</script>Keep dateModified honest and current — it’s one of the most useful freshness signals you have.
How to check it worked
Re-scan the post. “Article/BlogPosting schema present” should turn green. Confirm dateModified reflects your last genuine edit.
