Author schema (E-E-A-T)
What this is
If the page is an article, whether its machine-readable article data (JSON-LD structured data) names the author and links to an author profile page.
Why it matters
Naming the author and linking to a profile tells Google and AI tools who stands behind the content and whether they have relevant experience, which feeds into how trustworthy the page looks. It helps, but does not decide rankings on its own.
What counts as passing
Passes if the article data has an author with a profile URL; an author without a URL is a partial pass; not scored if the page has no structured data or is not an article. Note: structured data nested inside @graph isn't read yet, so this can be misjudged.
