Authorship setup
can be confusing at best, and even when you think you have everything set up
correctly, you still may not see your author image. What gives? It turns out
that the author image itself can have an effect on whether your authorship
snippet is displayed. In the case of my friend, her photo was a close up photo
of her face, but it did not show her full face.
Here’s an example
of what I mean:
Google prefers to
show a full face with the author image, so don’t get too artsy with your
selfie! When my friend changed her Google+ profile image to a full-face picture
like the one on the right, her authorship snippet began showing.
My friend’s
problem, and the problems I’ve seen others face with authorship, inspired me to
create the handy flowchart below to help you troubleshoot what may be the
issue. Google also provides a few key points to troubleshoot
authorship issues.
