Checks for author markup and attribution

| | |

| **Severity** | info |

## Solution

Author information supports E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). Use Person schema to mark up authors with name, url, and credentials. Link to author bio pages. Display author names visibly on content. For YMYL topics (health, finance), include author qualifications. Consider using rel='author' links.
