This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type of AnalysisNewsArticle in a page’s raw rendered HTML. It returns 1 when the string is present and 0 when it is not — a presence check on the source, not a validation of the JSON-LD graph.

What it measures
This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type value of AnalysisNewsArticle in the raw source. AnalysisNewsArticle is the schema.org type for analytical news reporting — coverage that interprets and contextualizes events rather than simply reporting them. The result is a single signal: the type string is either present in the page’s markup or it is not.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear searches the raw HTML for flexible whitespace around "@type": "AnalysisNewsArticle", optionally allowing a schema: prefix. The detector is case-insensitive and returns 1 on any match. It pattern-matches the source text directly; it does not parse or validate the surrounding JSON-LD graph.
What RankGear looks for
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "AnalysisNewsArticle",
"headline": "...",
"author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "..." },
"publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "..." }
}
</script>| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | The @type string AnalysisNewsArticle was found in the raw HTML (any capitalization, optional schema: prefix). |
| 0 | No matching type string was found in the raw HTML. |
How to optimize it
Use AnalysisNewsArticle for genuine analytical news reporting — pieces that interpret and contextualize events — and populate them with an accurate headline, author, publisher, dates, and images. Because RankGear only checks for the type string, treat a 1 as confirmation that the markup is present, not proof that it is valid or complete. The type and all properties should accurately reflect the visible content of the page.
Important considerations
- RankGear pattern-matches raw source; it does not parse or validate the JSON-LD graph.
- A matching string outside a valid JSON-LD script can still produce 1.
- Capitalization differences do not affect this detector.
- The type and all properties must accurately reflect visible content.
- This is a prioritization signal that relates to position within a measured result set — it does not, on its own, cause a page to rank or guarantee any position.
