# Implement comprehensive author markup
Structured author information helps search engines uniquely identify authors across the web, building an authority profile that can benefit your site's rankings.
## Quick Reference
- Use JSON-LD to provide detailed metadata about the author (Person or Organization)
- Include properties like `name`, `url`, `sameAs`, and `jobTitle`
- Connect author markup to the main `Article` or `WebPage` schema
## Check
Verify that the page includes structured data identifying the author with relevant metadata.
## Fix
Add a `Person` or `Organization` schema to your JSON-LD block and link it to the `author` property of your content.
## Explain
Explain how 'sameAs' properties in schema help search engines connect an author to their other authoritative profiles.
## Code Review
Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Implement comprehensive author markup. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.
