Who you are. What
you know about.
Ranko maintains a brand tag plus verified author tags linking LinkedIn, X, GitHub, Wikipedia, and scholarly profiles, applied sitewide.
From anonymous brand to named experts in 4 steps
Set up a brand tag and verified author tags once. Ranko applies them sitewide so engines know who is behind your content.
One Time Setup
Brand tag set up once logo, socials, contact, address
The brand tag describes the team as an entity: name, logo, social profiles, contact, founding date, industry, and parent organisation. Filled in once during onboarding, then every page signals the same brand.

- Social Profiles
- Contact
- Address
Authors With Verified Profiles
Author tags per contributor, with verified links
Every contributor gets an author tag with name, role, bio, photo, and verified links to LinkedIn, X, GitHub, Wikipedia, and scholarly profiles like Google Scholar or ORCID. Ranko confirms each is theirs.

Trust Signals
AI assistants and search engines pick up the signals
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini all read identity when choosing what to quote. A page by a named expert with verified profiles carries more trust than an anonymous one. Google's E-E-A-T uses the same.

Six reasons your authors stop being anonymous
Once a team signs every page with a consistent brand and a verified author, faceless publishing stops being acceptable.
AI assistants know who you are now
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini all weigh source identity when quoting. A page with a brand tag and a verified author beats a bare URL.
Author authority becomes a structural signal
"The author has expertise" is a claim. A verified LinkedIn showing fifteen years and a verified Google Scholar profile is a signal engines can check.
Verified links beat unverified credentials
A bio claiming twenty years is one anybody can write. A verified LinkedIn confirming it is one engines can check. Ranko confirms each link.
Every page carries the brand entity
A brand tag on the home page but missing on articles breaks when someone lands deep. Auto Page Data Tags sitewide means every page signals one brand.
Multi author teams get individual recognition
Brands publishing articles by ten members get each contributor recognised individually, with their own verified links. The brand gains team trust.
The trust signals work for traditional search too
The same identity layer AI assistants read for source trust is what Google uses for E-E-A-T. Brand and author tags pay off on both with one effort.
