Did You Know WP creates an Author Page for you? Is It Optimized? It Needs to Be!

Did you know that Wordpress automatically creates an author page for you, located at yourdomain.com/author/username? So in my case, mine is located at https://workfromyourlaptop.com/author/eric-cantu. That's a page I didn't have to create. The info from it is taken from the info you can include under your profile in your Wordpress back office (Settings>Users>Profile).
In this video I explain why optimizing your author bio and expressing to Google that you're a real person with a real perspective and real point of view is very important. Even if you're brand new and don't have accolades or experience to include in this "online resume", every one of us has something. If you're in a food niche you don't need to put that your'e a 3 star Michelin chef, you can just simply include that you've been cooking for your family for the last 35 years.
Even further, Google reads very important information about you within Schema Code that you can also place in your content. Don't know how to create schema code? No prob!

Ask your AI tool of choice (I recommend Claude) to create a "Person Schema Code" for you. Have it ask you for everything it needs to create it and it will create code that you can copy and paste directly into a Custom HTML Block inside your post editor that you add to the end of each and every post.
While you're at it, why not ask your AI tool of choice to give you the appropriate schema code to include for the entire article, like the Article Schema, the FAQ Schema, etc., and include it all in that very same HTML block?
Get after it!
Lean on your AI!
It's great at this stuff!
