Article Schema
Article schema (schema.org/Article and its sub-types NewsArticle, BlogPosting, TechArticle) is structured data describing an editorial article — author, date published, date modified, headline, image, publisher.
In context
Article schema is the most important schema type for content sites: it's the structured anchor for E-E-A-T signals (author Person, publisher Organization, dates), it supports rich-result eligibility for some article types, and AI engines lean heavily on it for citation. Best practice: emit Article schema on every editorial page with author as a Person reference, publisher as an Organization reference, and accurate datePublished and dateModified. Reference the author and publisher entities by @id rather than re-defining them inline.
Toronto SEO's articles emit Article schema with author: {@id: 'https://torontoseo.com/team#martin-vassilev'} — referencing the canonical Person entity defined on the team page rather than redefining it per article.
