Authorship Example

@GNGFound

Chase Howell | Digital Content Coordinator

@ChaseHowell10
Authorship
• Google authorship elevates the writer
• Who the author is could be factored into rank
– Anonymous authors not ranking as high
– Set up rel=auth

• rel=pub hasn’t shown to be as effective
So…market your own authorship, as well as
helping your client.

@GNGFound

Chase Howell | Digital Content Coordinator

@ChaseHowell10

to grab reader

• Provide a twist on
trending news,
localize a national
story, nationalize a
local story.
• Offer helpful, useful
information

in their market?

@GNGFound

Chase Howell | Digital Content Coordinator

Videos are a must
