Add a JSON-LD script tag in the page head with @type Article (or BlogPosting / NewsArticle). Required properties: headline, author (Person or Organization), publisher (Organization with logo), datePublished, dateModified, mainEntityOfPage. Without author and dates, the schema provides minimal AEO value.
AI citation engines weight author credentials and content freshness. Schema with no author or no date signals weak provenance and is ignored or down-ranked.
Use Person for editorial content with named authors. Use Organization for institutional content. Person should include sameAs links to author profiles (LinkedIn, X, GitHub) for entity recognition.
Use Google's Rich Results Test. The AI Agent Readiness Check tests for Article schema with proper author and date as one of the high-value schema types.
