Author Bio
Components
Placement
- End of article (default): User finishes reading, naturally curious about author; standard for blogs and deep content.
- Top of article: Strong expert endorsement; suited for news, YMYL, or short items.
- Sidebar (desktop): Compact version. Mobile fallback required — sidebar content often disappears on small screens; place author block within the main content column at the bottom on mobile.
Multi-Author
For co-authored, reviewed, or fact-checked content, list multiple author cards or label roles consistently (e.g. "Written by / Reviewed by").
Schema
Author entity uses Person JSON-LD with name, url, image, jobTitle, worksFor, knowsAbout, sameAs. Must match visible page content — no exaggeration or fabricated credentials. Validate with Rich Results Test. See entity-seo, schema-markup.
