Author Bio settings (Pro+)

Settings > Author Bio configures the author profile that appears on your articles. This is a Pro+ feature: on Free and Pro the fields are visible but locked, and articles ship without an author bio or Person schema.

Why this exists: E-E-A-T

Google evaluates content partly on E-E-A-T: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trust. In plain terms, Google wants to know a real, qualified person stands behind the article. This matters most for YMYL topics (health, finance, legal), where anonymous content struggles to rank.

With Author Bio configured, SEOBetter:

appends your bio box to every generated article
includes you in Person schema markup, so search engines and AI engines can identify you as an entity
uses your social profile links as sameAs signals, which is how Google connects your profiles into one Knowledge Graph identity

The fields

Full name: your real name. Never "admin" or "staff"; Google penalizes anonymous content.
Job title, credentials, experience: for example "Senior Veterinary Nutritionist", "DVM, MSc Animal Nutrition", "12 years in veterinary practice". Credentials show after your name.
Bio: 100 to 200 words, written in third person. Explain why you're qualified to write about your topics.
Headshot URL: a professional photo. Use the same photo across all your online profiles; Google matches faces and images when building your entity.
Social profiles: LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and your website. Link to your real profiles only.

Tips

Fill in what's true and stop there. An honest "8 years running a small bakery" beats an inflated title.
Consistency matters more than volume. Same name, same photo, same bio everywhere you appear online.
If several people write for your site, this profile applies site-wide, so use the main author or the site's founder.

Not on Pro+?

You can read the fields but not save them. If you upgrade later, anything you had saved on a previous Pro+ plan is still there; the plugin never wipes these fields when your tier changes.
