Validates Article/BlogPosting structured data for headline, image, author, publisher, and dates.
This check validates `Article`, `BlogPosting`, and `NewsArticle` structured data against Google's requirements. It checks for required properties (headline, image, datePublished) and recommended properties (author, publisher, dateModified) and validates their values.
Article schema is essential for news and editorial content. It helps Google understand your content's publication context, authorship, and freshness — all important for ranking in Google News, Top Stories, and Discover.
Proper Article schema can make your content eligible for Google Top Stories, Discover feed, and enhanced article listings. Missing required properties (especially headline and image) will prevent eligibility.
