Author Schema
A subset of Person schema specifically tied to articles, blog posts, and other written content.
Author schema attaches a named author (typically defined via Person schema) to a piece of content via the Article schema's `author` property. For contractor content marketing, named authors with consistent expertise areas signal authority to both Google and AI engines.
Unnamed content struggles to compete in E-E-A-T-heavy categories. Author schema is the mechanism for crediting the human behind the work.
Iron Pine's Insights articles all credit Gage Forkner as author, with the Article schema linking to Gage's Person schema by @id reference.
