Many search marketers are familiar with term “Google Authorship.” If that doesn’t ring a bell, we bet you’ve seen the personal headshots that have been appearing next to some of the traditional search results in Google.
It may seem like a vanity play right now, but authorship is the next big thing in search. Pretty soon, what you (or your clients) do as authors could potentially make or break your success in search engine marketing, or SEM.
In this comprehensive session, Mike Arnesen will cover everything you need to know about Google Authorship, from initial set up to taking steps to build your Google AuthorRank.
Some of the things covered in the session include:
- What Google Authorship is and why it’s going to be a game changer.
- How to set it up for yourself and your clients.
- What AuthorRank is and how you can start building it preemptively
- Is there such a thing a Brand Authorship?
- How to get the most out of Google+
