Each blog post is a standalone piece of content that AI can cite, summarize, and recommend. This blueprint structures the article with authorship, publish dates, and publisher context so AI systems attribute your content accurately.
Each blog post is a standalone piece of content that AI can cite, summarize, and recommend. This blueprint structures the article with authorship, publish dates, and publisher context so AI systems attribute your content accurately.
BlogPosting node with headline, datePublished, and dateModified gives AI the core metadata it needs to index and cite your article.author field with a Person node signals who wrote the article. AI weighs named authorship heavily for citation confidence.publisher field referencing your Organization ties the content back to your publication.image property gives AI a visual to associate with the article in citations and summaries.Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Media Company Blog page. AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org. Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list. Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field. REQUIRED — do not proceed without these: 1. Author name 2. Author slug 3. Domain 4. Faq answer 5. Faq question 6. Featured image 7. Handle 8. Modified date 9. Post excerpt 10. Post slug 11. Post title 12. Publish date OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them: 1. Any additional details not covered above Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page. Output requirements: - Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags - schema.org vocabulary only - Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included - Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Media Company Blog" - No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples - After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation
Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai
Copy the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your blog page.

Yes. If the H1 and headline diverge, AI can cite the wrong title. Consistency between visible content and structured data is critical for accurate attribution.
Yes. Even if you never update the post, including dateModified (set to the same date as datePublished) signals to AI that you track content freshness. AI deprioritizes content that appears unmaintained.
No. The description should be a summary or excerpt. AI reads the visible page content for the full text. Structured data provides metadata for attribution, not the content itself.
