Article (Article, NewsArticle, BlogPosting) structured data

Adding Article structured data to your news, blog, and sports article pages can help Google understand more about the web page and show better title text, images, and date information for the article in search results on Google Search and other properties (for example, Google News and the Google Assistant). While there's no markup requirement to be eligible for Google News features like Top stories, you can add Article to more explicitly tell Google what your content is about (for example, that it's a news article, who the author is, or what the title of the article is).

如何添加结构化数据

结构化数据是一种提供网页相关信息并对网页内容进行分类的标准化格式。如果您不熟悉结构化数据，可以详细了解结构化数据的运作方式。

下面概述了如何构建、测试和发布结构化数据。

  1. 添加尽可能多的适用于您网页的建议属性。没有必需添加的属性，根据您的内容按需添加即可。 根据您使用的格式，了解在网页上的什么位置插入结构化数据。
  2. 遵循指南。
  3. 使用富媒体搜索结果测试验证您的代码，并修复所有严重错误。此外，您还可以考虑修正该工具中可能会标记的任何非严重问题，因为这些这样有助于提升结构化数据的质量（不过，要使内容能够显示为富媒体搜索结果，并非必须这么做）。
  4. 部署一些包含您的结构化数据的网页，然后使用网址检查工具测试 Google 看到的网页样貌。请确保您的网页可供 Google 访问，不会因 robots.txt 文件、noindex 标记或登录要求而被屏蔽。如果网页看起来没有问题，您可以请求 Google 重新抓取您的网址。
  5. 为了让 Google 随时了解日后发生的更改，我们建议您提交站点地图。Search Console Sitemap API 可以帮助您自动执行此操作。

Guidelines

You must follow these guidelines to enable structured data to be eligible for inclusion in Google Search results.

Technical guidelines

  • For multi-part articles, make sure that the rel=canonical points at either each individual page or a "view-all" page (and not to page 1 of a multi-part series). Learn more about canonicalization.
  • If you offer subscription-based access to your website content, or if users must register for access, consider adding structured data for subscription and paywalled content.

Structured data type definitions

To help Google better understand your page, include as many recommended properties that apply to your web page. There are no required properties; instead, add the properties that apply to your content.

Article objects

Article objects must be based on one of the following schema.org types: Article, NewsArticle, BlogPosting.

The Google-supported properties are the following:

Recommended properties
author

Person or Organization

The author of the article. To help Google best understand authors across various features, we recommend following the author markup best practices.

author.name

Text

The name of the author.
author.url

URL

A link to a web page that uniquely identifies the author of the article. For example, the author's social media page, an "about me" page, or a bio page.

If the URL is an internal profile page, we recommend marking up that author using profile page structured data.
dateModified

DateTime

The date and time the article was most recently modified, in ISO 8601 format. We recommend that you provide timezone information; otherwise, we will default to the timezone used by Googlebot.

Add the dateModified property if you want to provide more accurate date information to Google. The Rich Results Test doesn't show a warning for this property, as it's only recommended if you decide that it's applicable to your site.
datePublished

DateTime

The date and time the article was first published, in ISO 8601 format. We recommend that you provide timezone information; otherwise, we will default to the timezone used by Googlebot.

Add the datePublished property if you want to provide more accurate date information to Google. The Rich Results Test doesn't show a warning for this property, as it's only recommended if you decide that it's applicable to your site.
headline

Text

The title of the article. Consider using a concise title, as long titles may be truncated on some devices.
image

Repeated ImageObject or URL

The URL to an image that is representative of the article. Use images that are relevant to the article, rather than logos or captions.

Additional image guidelines:

  • Image URLs must be crawlable and indexable. To check if Google can access your URLs, use the URL Inspection tool.
  • Images must represent the marked up content.
  • Images must be in a file format that's supported by Google Images.
  • For best results, we recommend providing multiple high-resolution images (minimum of 50K pixels when multiplying width and height) with the following aspect ratios: 16x9, 4x3, and 1x1.

For example:

"image": [
  "https://example.com/photos/1x1/photo.jpg",
  "https://example.com/photos/4x3/photo.jpg",
  "https://example.com/photos/16x9/photo.jpg"
]

Author markup best practices

To help Google best understand and represent the author of the content, we recommend following these best practices when specifying authors in markup:

Best practices for author markup

Include all authors in the markup

Make sure that all the authors that are presented as authors on the web page are also included in markup.

Specifying multiple authors

When specifying multiple authors, list each author in their own author field: 

"author": [
  {"name": "Willow Lane"},
  {"name": "Regula Felix"}
]

Don't merge multiple authors in the same author field: 

"author": {
  "name": "Willow Lane, Regula Felix"
}

Use additional fields

To help Google better understand who the author is, we strongly recommend using the type and url (or sameAs) properties. Use valid URLs for the url or sameAs properties.

For example, if the author is a person, you could link to an author's page that provides more information about the author: 

"author": [
  {
    "@type": "Person",
    "name": "Willow Lane",
    "url": "https://www.example.com/staff/willow_lane"
  }
]

If the author is an organization, you could link to the organization's home page. 

"author":
  [
    {
      "@type":"Organization",
      "name": "Some News Agency",
      "url": "https://www.example.com/"
  }
]

Only specify the author's name in the author.name property

In the author.name property, only specify the name of the author. Don't add any other piece of information. More specifically, don't add the following information:

  • The name of the publisher. Instead, use the publisher property.
  • The author's job title. Instead, use the appropriate property if you want to specify that information (jobTitle).
  • Honorific prefix or suffix. Instead, use the appropriate property if you want to specify that information (honorificPrefix or honorificSuffix).
  • Introductory words (for example, don't include words like "posted by").
"author":
  [
    {
      "@type": "Person",
      "name": "Echidna Jones",
      "honorificPrefix": "Dr",
      "jobTitle": "Editor in Chief"
    }
  ],
"publisher":
  [
    {
      "@type": "Organization",
      "name": "Bugs Daily"
    }
  ]
}

Use the appropriate Type

Use the Person type for people, and the Organization type for organizations. Don't use the Thing type, and don't use the wrong type (for example, using the Organization type for a person).

Here's an example that applies the author markup best practices: 

"author":
  [
    {
      "@type": "Person",
      "name": "Willow Lane",
      "jobTitle": "Journalist",
      "url": "https://www.example.com/staff/willow-lane"
    },
    {
      "@type": "Person",
      "name": "Echidna Jones",
      "jobTitle": "Editor in Chief",
      "url": "https://www.example.com/staff/echidna-jones"
    }
  ],
"publisher":
  {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "The Daily Bug",
    "url": "https://www.example.com"
  },
  // + Other fields related to the article...
}

Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble implementing or debugging structured data, here are some resources that may help you.

  • If you're using a content management system (CMS) or someone else is taking care of your site, ask them to help you. Make sure to forward any Search Console message that details the issue to them.
  • Google does not guarantee that features that consume structured data will show up in search results. For a list of common reasons why Google may not show your content in a rich result, see the General Structured Data Guidelines.
  • You might have an error in your structured data. Check the list of structured data errors and the Unparsable structured data report.
  • If you received a structured data manual action against your page, the structured data on the page will be ignored (although the page can still appear in Google Search results). To fix structured data issues, use the Manual Actions report.
  • Review the guidelines again to identify if your content isn't compliant with the guidelines. The problem can be caused by either spammy content or spammy markup usage. However, the issue may not be a syntax issue, and so the Rich Results Test won't be able to identify these issues.
  • Troubleshoot missing rich results / drop in total rich results.
  • Allow time for re-crawling and re-indexing. Remember that it may take several days after publishing a page for Google to find and crawl it. For general questions about crawling and indexing, check the Google Search crawling and indexing FAQ.
  • Post a question in the Google Search Central forum.
