Google support three types of "long-format" content, typed as Article, NewsArticle, or BlogPosting.

In this example we'll use BlogPosting but the same rules apply to all.

STEP 1

On your Blog Post Collection page;

Drop an HTML Embed on the page and paste in this code.


Note the {{ Field }} names, which represent Webflow's CMS field embeds.

STEP 2

Re-bind each of your CMS fields to your blog post fields.

STEP 3

Update the static info in the JSON;

  • Company name, address, and email
  • Company logo ( pull the link from your Webflow collection )
  • The front part of the URL under mainEntityOfPage.@id
  • Author name if it's always the same person and you don't have an Author field on your Blog posts.

etc.

STEP 4

Publish, and test;

STEP 5 ( Optional )

Change the main article <div> element to an <article> element, under element settings.

Notes

The articleBody property is not used here for 3 reasons;

  • Google doesn't support it
  • Webflow does not support embedding rich text fields, or converting them to plaintext
  • The JSON-LD spec requires a plain text version
  • Webflow doesn't JSON encode its embedded fields which - for long-form content expecially - adds significant invalidation risk.
