Published authors
Why named bylines matter
Three reasons we sign every editorial page:
- Accountability. Each guide and research page carries a named author. If our methodology or numbers are wrong, you know who to challenge.
- E-E-A-T signal.Google’s Quality Rater Guidelines weight named-author content with verifiable credentials more heavily than anonymous content. AI search assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) do the same.
- Knowledge Graph linking. Each author has a single Person entity referenced from every published page via JSON-LD
@id. Search engines build a coherent author profile rather than seeing each article as a standalone unowned document.
