Person JSON-LD Template

What this describes

Use Person for a real individual identified on the page, such as an author, founder, instructor, or profile subject. Publish the fuller definition on a profile or About page, then refer to its stable @id from articles and organization relationships.

Copyable template

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Person",
  "@id": "https://www.example.com/authors/example-person/#person",
  "name": "Example Person",
  "url": "https://www.example.com/authors/example-person/",
  "image": "https://www.example.com/images/example-person.jpg",
  "jobTitle": "Editorial Director",
  "worksFor": {
    "@id": "https://www.example.com/#organization"
  },
  "sameAs": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/example-person/"
  ]
}

Customize it

• Use the public name and canonical profile URL shown on the site.
• Link worksFor only when that current relationship is accurate and defined.
• Use sameAs for pages that identify the same person, not every page that mentions them.
• Add credentials, affiliations, or expertise only when the public page supports them and the relationship is clear.
• Avoid publishing private contact details or unnecessary personal attributes.

Validate it

Use the live-page JSON-LD validation tutorial and test the rendered profile page with Schema.org Validator. Follow each identity link and confirm that it resolves to the same individual. Check every article reference uses the same @id and that worksFor points to the intended Organization.
