Person Schema Generator

A person schema generator builds Person JSON-LD for an author or expert: name, role, employer, topics and profile links. It connects a named human to their other profiles and the subjects they write about.

It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste or upload is sent to a server or stored.

How to read the result and act on it

Place the output on the person's profile or author page, inside a JSON-LD script tag. A good result gives the full name, job title, an image, a short bio, an employer and sameAs links to real profiles such as LinkedIn or a personal site. Use the same name, title and photo as the visible page. If the person writes for your site, link article markup to this profile with the same URL so the connection is explicit. Test the page in the Schema Markup Validator. Update the markup when job titles or employers change.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not mark up a person who is not clearly shown on the page, and do not claim credentials or affiliations the person does not hold. Avoid linking profiles that belong to someone else with a similar name. Another mistake is publishing different bios, titles or spellings in the schema and on the visible page. Keep private details such as home address or personal phone out of the markup. Do not expect person schema to boost rankings on its own; its value comes from clarity and consistency, combined with real expertise shown in the content.

Why mark up authors?

It makes authorship explicit and links your content to the person behind it, supporting experience and expertise signals.

Is knowsAbout required?

No, but it states what you are credible on, which is useful for entity understanding.

Why do authors need a dedicated page?

A dedicated author page gives readers and search engines a stable place to see who the person is, what they know and which work they have published. It also gives your article markup a URL to reference.

What are sameAs links?

sameAs lists URLs of other pages that represent the same person or organization, such as social profiles. They help search engines match your entity to the correct profiles, as long as they are accurate and official.
