No author identity schema on content pages
Google's quality guidelines assess content on Experience, Expertise, Authority, and Trust (E-E-A-T). One signal is whether content pages identify a real author through structured data (Person schema). No author schema was found. Without identifiable authors, Google and AI systems have less confidence in the credibility of your content, particularly for advice or service-category topics where expertise matters. This can reduce rankings for competitive search queries. For blog posts and articles, add a Person schema block identifying the author by name, with links to their professional profile (LinkedIn or an About page). Most blogging platforms have plugins that handle this automatically once author profiles are set up.
