Stack FAQs
Do I need both speakable and paywall markup?
If you support voice surfaces and a paywall, yes—speakable clarifies which content is eligible for voice, and paywall markup clarifies access.
Should I use Article or NewsArticle?
Use NewsArticle for news/publisher content that meets freshness and E-E-A-T expectations; otherwise use Article.
