Article/Blog Schema Generator for YMYL Pages

What is a YMYL blog schema generator?

A YMYL blog schema generator creates structured data that describes an article and the people or organizations involved in creating and reviewing it. Unlike a basic generator, it lets you provide more context about authors, reviewers, contributors, and publishers.

This tool covers major schema properties such as:

• BlogPosting or Article schema type
• Article title, URL, description, and image
• Author name and author URL
• Reviewer name, URL, and certification
• Contributor name, URL, and certification
• Published date, modified date, publisher, and sameAs profiles

You can use these properties to create a clearer connection between the article and the people or organizations behind it. The information should always match the actual content and people shown on your webpage.

Why basic blog schema is not enough for YMYL webpages

YMYL content needs clear authorship

Healthcare, finance, legal, and similar topics can affect important decisions. Showing who wrote an article gives readers more information about the source of the content. Detailed author information can also help search engines better understand the entity associated with the article.

Expert review adds useful editorial context

Some YMYL articles need review from a qualified professional before publication. For example, a healthcare article may be reviewed by a medical professional, while a financial article may receive input from a finance professional. Adding reviewer information can describe this editorial relationship when the review actually took place.

Contributors can show who helped create the content

An article may involve more than one person. A researcher may provide data, a subject matter expert may provide technical input, or an editor may help improve the content. The contributor property lets you identify these secondary contributors instead of treating everyone as the primary author.

Entity information gives people more context

A name alone does not always tell search engines which person you mean. Profile URLs and sameAs links can connect an author or reviewer with their genuine online profiles. This can provide additional context about the entity without relying only on the person's name.

YMYL websites need accurate information

Adding more schema does not automatically improve rankings or prove expertise. The information must be accurate and supported by the webpage. If you identify someone as an author, reviewer, or contributor, that person should actually have that role. Their credentials and areas of knowledge should also be factual.

How to use this YMYL Blog Schema Generator

1. Enter your article URL

Start by entering the URL of the blog post or article you want to mark up. The tool uses the page to identify the basic information already available on your webpage.

2. Let the tool fetch your article details

After you enter the URL, the generator can fetch basic page information such as the article title, description, featured image, author, page URL, published date, modified date, and other available metadata.

This saves you from entering the same information manually.

3. Review the fetched information

Check the information collected from your page before generating the markup. Make sure the title, description, image, author, URL, and dates match the content published on the page.

If any information is missing or incorrect, update it before generating the JSON LD.

4. Add author information

Review the author information and provide additional details where available. You can add an author profile URL and relevant identity information such as sameAs, job title, organization, areas of knowledge, credentials, or certifications.

Use only information that accurately describes the author.

5. Add a contributor

The contributor field is optional, but we recommend using it when other people made a meaningful contribution to the article.

You can add the contributor's name, profile URL, sameAs links, job title, organization, and other relevant information. Do not add someone as a contributor simply to make the schema look more detailed.

6. Add a reviewer

The reviewer field is also optional, but it can be useful for YMYL content that has gone through genuine expert review.

Add the reviewer's name, profile URL, sameAs links, job title, organization, credentials, certifications, or areas of knowledge when relevant. Only add a reviewer when the person actually reviewed the content.

7. Generate your JSON LD markup

Once you have reviewed the article details and added any relevant author, contributor, and reviewer information, generate the schema markup. The tool creates JSON LD that you can copy and add to the appropriate webpage.

8. Validate the generated markup

Before publishing the markup, test it with a structured data testing tool. Check for syntax errors, incorrect URLs, missing information, and properties that do not accurately represent the webpage.

The goal is not to add as many properties as possible. The goal is to create accurate structured data that clearly describes your article and the entities connected to it.
