Overview

Google Authorship is the process of digitally signing or claiming your web content & thus building your author brand

Description

Since Google has discontinued authorship, I'll be archiving my "Google Authorship course" course within a week. I have created another free course instead which also tackles authority building and content marketing ->

Google Authorship is the process of digitally signing or claiming your web content and tying it with your Google Plus personal account using rel="author".

There are three huge benefits of having your authorship verified with Google:

  • Brand awareness and influence building: People seeing your picture come up in search results will automatically assume you are a huge influence
  • Higher click-through to your content: You no longer need to get ranked #1 in order to get noticed and get clicked through!

Higher rankings in personalized results: The more connections you have on Google Plus the more people will see your author-verified content when searching Google (provided they have personalization of search enabled). That leads to more clicks and more branding as well.

This course will take you through the authorship set-up process, answer some of the most frequently asked questions and show you how you can make the most of Google authorship search snippets in search results.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
