About the Author Schema Generator

The Author Schema Generator produces schema.org Person JSON-LD that describes the author behind your content. Enter a name, profile URL, job title, photo, social profiles and the organization they write for, and a valid script block is generated live — ready to reference from your Article markup or drop onto an author bio page.

Clear author markup helps search engines connect a byline to a real person and their body of work across the web. The sameAs links to profiles like LinkedIn, X, Mastodon or an ORCID page act as identity signals, which supports the experience and expertise that Google's quality guidance rewards.

Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded. It's built for bloggers, publishers and developers who want consistent, machine-readable author data without hand-writing JSON.

Frequently asked questions

What is author schema?

Author schema is schema.org Person structured data that identifies who wrote a page and links to their profiles and organization. It's usually written as JSON-LD and either placed on an author bio page or nested as the 'author' of your Article markup, helping search engines attribute content to a real, consistent identity.

How do I connect author schema to my article?

Reference the same Person in your Article markup's author field — ideally with a matching url or an @id — so the article points at the author entity you describe here. Keeping the name and URL identical across both blocks lets search engines treat them as one person rather than two.

What should go in the sameAs field for an author?

List URLs that unambiguously represent the same person: their LinkedIn, X or Mastodon profile, a personal site, an ORCID record, a Muck Rack or About.me page, or a Wikipedia entry if one exists. Add one URL per line; only include profiles that genuinely belong to that author.

Does author schema improve E-E-A-T or rankings?

Structured data isn't a direct ranking factor, but clear author markup helps Google understand who is behind content, which supports the experience and expertise signals it looks for. It works best alongside a real, informative author bio page — markup describes that page, it doesn't replace it.

Where should I place the Person JSON-LD?

Put it on the author's dedicated bio page as the primary entity, and/or nest an equivalent author object inside each article they write. You don't need to repeat the full Person block on every article — a reference by url or @id to the bio page is enough.
