Person (schema.org)
Person is the schema.org type that describes individuals in a structured way, with details such as name, job title, employer, image and links to social profiles, and it is often combined with Organization, Article or Review.
In practice
As the author of an article in particular, a cleanly marked-up Person entity strengthens how far expertise and trustworthiness can be verified, a central building block of E-E-A-T. The sameAs property links real, verifiable profiles such as LinkedIn or other specialist portals, which underpins credibility further. Invented or anonymous authors, by contrast, should not be marked up as a Person.
