# Highlight author credentials and expertise

Demonstrating the expertise of the content creator is a core component of E-E-A-T, helping both users and search engines trust the accuracy of your information.

## Quick Reference

- Include a short bio for each author highlighting their relevant qualifications
- Link to the author's social profiles or professional websites (e.g., LinkedIn)
- Mention specific certifications or previous work to establish authority

## Check

Verify that all authors have a bio or profile that clearly states their qualifications for writing on the topic.

## Fix

Add a short bio section for each author that highlights their experience and links to their professional profiles.

## Explain

Explain how author credentials impact search engine rankings, especially for YMYL (Your Money Your Life) topics.

## Code Review

Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Highlight author credentials and expertise. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.
