Blogs without Fact-Check + AI Disclosure Schema = flagged as AI spam in Dec 2025 update. With this Schema = Google trusts you as fact-checked human-reviewed blog.

In this URGENT Post #83, you'll add ClaimReview + AI disclosure Schema to Blogger. This is required for all blogs using AI tools after Google's October 2025 AI policy.

Step 1: Why Fact-Check + AI Disclosure Wins Trust 2025

Google's new AI Content policy penalizes undisclosed AI content.

  1. Fact-Check label: Shows "✓ Fact Checked" badge in Google News and Search
  2. AI disclosure safe: Telling Google "AI assisted + human reviewed" = no penalty, hiding = penalty
  3. Top Stories: Only fact-check Schemas eligible for Google Fact Check Explorer
  4. EEAT boost: ClaimReview proves you verify claims, not just write

Step 2: Add Fact-Check ClaimReview Schema to Blogger Fact Posts

Use this when you debunk myths, verify news, review claims. Example: "Is Blogger SEO dead?"

  1. Posts → Edit Fact-Check Post → HTML view → Paste at BOTTOM:
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "ClaimReview",
  "url": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/is-blogger-seo-dead-fact-check.html",
  "claimReviewed": "Blogger SEO is dead and cannot rank on Google in 2025",
  "itemReviewed": {
    "@type": "Claim",
    "author": {
      "@type": "Organization",
      "name": "Random YouTube Guru"
    },
    "datePublished": "2025-10-15",
    "appearance": {
      "@type": "CreativeWork",
      "url": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=example"
    }
  },
  "author": {
    "@type": "Person",
    "@id": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/#person",
    "name": "Your Name",
    "url": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/p/about-author.html",
    "image": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/your-photo-400x400.jpg"
  },
  "reviewRating": {
    "@type": "Rating",
    "ratingValue": "2",
    "bestRating": "5",
    "worstRating": "1",
    "alternateName": "False"
  },
  "datePublished": "2025-11-09T08:00:00+01:00",
  "reviewBody": "We tested 10 Blogger blogs with complete Schema from our 80-post series. All 10 ranked on page 1 for low competition keywords within 45 days with proper Article + FAQ + Breadcrumb Schema. Google Search Console shows 100% indexing. Claim that Blogger SEO is dead is FALSE. Blogger with proper Schema ranks same as WordPress for informational content."
}

Step 3: Add AI Disclosure Schema - Required If You Use ChatGPT

Google requires disclosure if content is AI-assisted. Add this to EVERY post where you used AI to draft:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Article",
  "headline": "How to Start a Blog on Blogger in 2025",
  "author": {
    "@type": "Person",
    "@id": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/#person",
    "name": "Your Name"
  },
  "datePublished": "2025-11-09T08:00:00+01:00",
  "dateModified": "2025-11-09T08:00:00+01:00",
  "articleSection": "Blogger SEO",
  "isAccessibleForFree": true,
  "isPartOf": {
    "@id": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/#website"
  },
  "publisher": {
    "@id": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/#organization"
  },
  "creativeWorkStatus": "Human reviewed and fact-checked",
  "sdDatePublished": "2025-11-09T08:00:00+01:00",
  "sdPublisher": {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "Your Blog Academy",
    "logo": {
      "@type": "ImageObject",
      "url": "https://yourblog.blogspot.com/logo-600x600.png"
    }
  },
  "about": {
    "@type": "Thing",
    "name": "Blogger SEO"
  },
  "mentions": [
    {
      "@type": "Thing",
      "name": "AI-assisted content",
      "description": "This article was drafted with AI assistance and extensively reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by human expert Your Name with 5+ years experience"
    }
  ]
}
</script>

Step 4: Add Visible AI Disclosure + Fact Check Box (Required)

Schema alone not enough - must show visible disclosure for EEAT:

<!-- AI DISCLOSURE BOX - Add at TOP of post -->
<div style="background:#e8f0fe;border:1px solid #1a73e8;border-radius:8px;padding:15px;margin:20px 0;display:flex;gap:12px;">
<div style="font-size:24px;">🤖+👤</div>
<div>
<strong style="color:#1a73e8;">AI Disclosure & Human Review:</strong>
<p style="margin:5px 0;font-size:14px;">This article was drafted with AI assistance and thoroughly reviewed, fact-checked, and updated by <a href="/p/about-author.html">Your Name</a>, Blogger SEO expert with 5+ years experience. All steps tested on live Blogger blogs in November 2025. Last fact-checked: November 9, 2025.</p>
</div>
</div>

<!-- FACT CHECK BOX - Add for debunking posts -->
<div style="background:#e6f4ea;border:2px solid #34a853;border-radius:12px;padding:20px;margin:20px 0;">
<div style="display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;">
<h3 style="margin:0;color:#137333;">🔍 Fact Check: FALSE</h3>
<span style="background:#34a853;color:#fff;padding:5px 15px;border-radius:20px;font-weight:bold;">Rating: 2/5 - False</span>
</div>
<p style="margin:10px 0 0 0;"><strong>Claim:</strong> "Blogger SEO is dead and cannot rank on Google in 2025"</p>
<p style="margin:5px 0;"><strong>Verdict:</strong> False. Our tests show Blogger blogs with complete Schema (80 posts series) rank page 1 within 45 days. See proof in Search Console screenshots below.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0 0 0;font-size:12px;color:#5f6368;">Fact checked by <a href="/p/about-author.html">Your Name</a> on Nov 9, 2025 | Sources: Google Search Console, Rich Results Test, 10 live tests</p>
</div>

Step 5: When to Use Which Schema

Post Type Add This Schema Visible Box Needed
Used ChatGPT to draft any part Article with mentions AI-assisted + creativeWorkStatus Human reviewed AI Disclosure box at top
Debunking myths, viral claims ClaimReview + Article Fact Check FALSE/TRUE box
News, statistics post Article + reviewBody with sources + sameAs to sources Sources cited list
100% human written Normal Article from Post #50, no AI mention needed None, but author bio still needed

Step 6: Test Fact-Check + AI Schema + Avoid Penalty

  1. Rich Results Test: search.google.com/test/rich-results → Enter URL → May show ClaimReview valid (fact check not always rich result, but trust signal)
  2. Schema Validator: validator.schema.org → Check ClaimReview reviewRating alternateName must be True, False, Mixture, Unproven
  3. Google Fact Check Explorer: After 2 weeks, check toolbox.google.com/factcheck/explorer → Search your claim → Your fact-check should appear
  4. Fix: reviewRating error: ratingValue 1=False, 2=Mostly False, 3=Mixture, 4=Mostly True, 5=True. alternateName must match: False, Mostly False, Half True, Mostly True, True
  5. Fix: AI penalty fear: Google does NOT penalize AI-assisted content that is disclosed + human reviewed + helpful. It penalizes hidden AI spam with no human review. This Schema protects you

Bad practice to avoid: Claiming "100% human written" when you used AI to draft = violates Google policy if detected. Always disclose AI assistance. Also don't add ClaimReview to non-fact posts like recipes - only for claims you verify.

CRITICAL for 2025: Add AI disclosure box to all 82 previous posts if you used AI to help write them. Edit Posts → Top → Add AI box from Step 4. This future-proofs your entire 80-post series for Google's March 2026 AI update. For author EEAT, link Person Schema #person in all ClaimReviews as author. After adding, submit to Google Publisher Center → Fact Check section → Add your fact-check articles.
