Show the Byline Readers Cannot See

What is this warning?

Your structured data names an author, but nothing in the visible page says so. Markup that claims something the page does not show is the pattern behind most machine-generated content, and both search engines and assistants weigh the two against each other.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

The JSON-LD declares an author while the rendered page carries no byline anywhere.

The Solution

Put the byline in the page, near the title, and keep it consistent with the markup:

<h1>Choosing a running shoe</h1>
<p class="byline">By <a rel="author" href="/team/jane-roe">Jane Roe</a></p>

Why This Works

Markup and visible content agreeing is what makes either of them credible. A byline a reader can see is also the version a person checks.
