# Implement valid Article structured data
Structured data helps your content appear as rich results (like Top Stories or rich snippets), significantly increasing click-through rates and visibility in search results.
## Quick Reference
- Use Schema.org `Article`, `NewsArticle`, or `BlogPosting` types for content
- Include required properties like `headline`, `image`, `datePublished`, and `author`
- Format the data using JSON-LD for the best compatibility with search engines
## Check
Verify that the page contains valid Article structured data with all required properties.
## Fix
Add a JSON-LD script block containing the `Article` schema with correct metadata for the current page.
## Explain
Explain how Article schema affects visibility in Google Discover, News, and standard search results.
## Code Review
Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Implement valid Article structured data. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.
