Should we add the author's name and profile under every blog post, does this help with SEO?

i'm writing blog posts but I'm wondering wehre to put the author info. under the post or at the top? is the author's photo and profile necessary?

how much does this contribute to SEO? is it just for customer trust or does it help with ranking too?

does Google recognize autor profiles?

Author profiles show E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness). Google evaluates this.

Structure: At the beginning or end of the post — choosing the beginning is better because it grabs attention first. Add the author's name, position, and photo.

Google Author Schema can recognize the author. Add a link to the author's Google Profile.

Author profile format: - First and Last Name - Position (Manager, Consultant) - Mini bio (1-2 lines) - Photo (optional) - Email or LinkedIn

Add Author schema markup in JSON-LD format. Google can learn the Author's PAGE — author authority increases.

The post is written by all of us but no one signs it. In this case, how do we put the author's name?

Author profiles increase post credibility. Readers want to know 'who wrote this' — use a real name instead of 'Admin'.

Good call starting this thread. Discussing numbers without verifying the measurement setup is a waste of time.

I think differently. If it's your first time, start small; scaling comes later.

Internal linking is the cheapest and most neglected task. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

Let me speak from the other side; I'm on the supplier side. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

Good luck with that.

I have no experience with adding author profile, so Im asking. A page that answers one question works better than one touching on five topics.

If you get three different answers on a topic the question was asked wrong. If you post the result here it will help others too.

I don't think this advice fits everyone. Mistakes made on the adding author profile side are usually reversible but expensive.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

There's one point I'm curious about. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

I've been down this road, let me tell you. The biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.

let me summarize what's been said so far then internal linking is the cheapst and most neglected task.

that's all, sorry if I went on too long.

Let's separate the concepts, they're getting mixed up. honestly the harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you should make it.

The real issue isn't the number but what it's based on. Good luck with that.

There is something to watch out for. Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.

When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too, not just the best. Proven by experience.
