The author page is the canonical profile for a writer on your publication. AI systems use this page to verify authorship, assess expertise, and connect articles back to a real person. This blueprint structures the author profile so AI gives proper credit.

ProfilePage signals to AI that this is a canonical author profile, not just a regular web page.Person node with name, jobTitle, knowsAbout, and sameAs gives AI a complete author profile.worksFor to connect the author to your publication entity.Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Blogger Author Page page. AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org. Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list. Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field. REQUIRED — do not proceed without these: 1. Author bio 2. Author handle 3. Author image 4. Author linkedin 5. Author name 6. Author slug 7. Author title 8. Domain 9. Expertise 10. Faq answer 11. Faq question 12. Publication name OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them: 1. Any additional details not covered above Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page. Output requirements: - Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags - schema.org vocabulary only - Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included - Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Blogger Author Page" - No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples - After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation
Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai
Copy the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your author page page.

ProfilePage is a Schema.org subtype of WebPage that explicitly signals this is a canonical profile. AI systems can then prioritize this page as the authoritative source for the author's identity and credentials.
Yes. Even if you are the only writer, a dedicated author page with a Person node gives AI a strong identity signal. It separates your personal brand from the publication brand, which strengthens authorship attribution.
List your primary areas of expertise as short topic labels (e.g., "content marketing", "technical SEO", "startup growth"). AI uses these to match your profile to topical queries about experts in those fields.
