FV Simpler SEO: Google Authorship

Version 1.6.21 of FV Simpler SEO released just now adds support for Google Authorship and Publisher fields.

FV Simpler SEO – Google Authorship

To setup Google Authorship:

1. Install FV Simpler SEO and visit Settings -> FV Simpler SEO and put your Google+ profile link into “Google+ Default Author”. That will be used for entire site.
2. If you also have a company Google+ profile page, put it into the “Google+ Site Publisher” field
3. If you have multiple authors, fill in “Google+” in their user profiles on your site. That will adjust the authorship for the users’ posts – the default author won’t be used for these.
4. Each Google+ profile which you use must have your website entered in About -> Links -> (click Edit) and add the site in one of the “Other profiles”, “Contributor to” or “Links” sections.
5. Last step – check your site in Google Structured Data Testing Tool
