About the Author Bio and Byline Builder
Type the author's name, role, organisation, qualifications, topics, first-hand experience and profile links. You get a byline with the reviewer and dates, a short and a long bio, an author box in HTML, an outline for the author page, ProfilePage and Person structured data, and the author part of your Article markup. A checklist built on Google's "Who" questions shows what is missing. It runs in your browser and uses fixed templates, not AI: it only arranges what you type.
How it works
-
01
Type the author's name, with "Dr." or "CA" in the Title box, then the role, organisation, qualifications, topics and a few lines of real experience. Or try the example.
-
02
Add the author page address and profile links such as LinkedIn and, for an article, the reviewer, the title and the dates.
-
03
Copy the byline, bios, author box and structured data, or download everything, then fix what the checklist flags.
What Google says about authors
Google's guidance on helpful content asks whether it is clear who created a page, whether pages carry a byline where readers would expect one, and whether bylines lead to more about the author and the areas they write about. It encourages accurate authorship information. Its Article markup best practices ask you to include every author shown on the page, each in their own entry, with only the name in the name field and a url or sameAs that identifies them.
What you get
A byline such as "By Dr. Neha Kulkarni, Periodontist · Reviewed by Dr. Arjun Mehta, Oral surgeon · Updated 12 October 2026", with visible dates labelled Published and Updated as Google suggests. A short and a long bio from fixed templates, an author box, an author page outline in Markdown, ProfilePage markup with the Person for the author page, and the author list for the article. The checklist marks Google's guidance and our own suggestions separately.
What this tool cannot do
It cannot check that a qualification, registration or year of experience is real, so the bios are only as true as what you type. It does not see your website, so it cannot tell whether the author page exists or whether the byline shows on your articles. Structured data does not guarantee any search feature, and no tool can show how Google rates an author. Health, money, legal and safety words in the topics trigger a stricter checklist; that word list is ours, not Google's.
Frequently asked questions
What should an author bio include?
The person's name, role and organisation, the qualifications or registrations they really hold, years of experience, what they have done first-hand and the topics they write about, plus a link to their author page and profiles such as LinkedIn. Google asks whether bylines lead to more about the author and the areas they write about, so the bio and the author page should answer that. Leave out boasts such as "best" or "No. 1" that readers cannot check.
Should "Dr." or a degree go in the author name in schema?
No. Google's author markup best practices ask for only the name in the author's name, with no title, job or other text. This tool puts "Dr." in honorificPrefix, the job in jobTitle and degrees in hasCredential on the Person (schema.org properties), and keeps them visible in the byline.
What is the difference between Person and ProfilePage markup?
Person describes the author: name, job, organisation and profiles. ProfilePage describes a page about that person, with the Person as its main entity. Google suggests profile page markup when the author's url is a profile page on your own site, so the author page gets ProfilePage and the article's author points to that page.
How do I show more than one author?
Show every author in the byline and list each one in its own Person entry in the article's author markup, as Google asks: never put two names in one name field. Add co-authors one per line with their page, and the tool builds the list for you.
When should I change the updated date?
Only when the article has really changed, for example new facts, a corrected step or a fresh review. Google suggests a visible date labelled "Published" or "Last updated", with the same dates in datePublished and dateModified, and advises against making a story look fresh by changing its date alone.
