TRUST_AUTHOR_MISSING

Article has no named author

No automatic fix — this needs a manual change on your site

What this check looks at

Whether an article-like page shows a named author byline or declares an author in its JSON-LD. A byline that names the organisation counts as present.

Why AI answer engines care

A named author is one of the main trust signals readers and AI engines use to judge who is behind a piece of content.

Does Synviber fix it for me?

Not currently — this one needs a manual change on your own site or infrastructure; Synviber can detect it but does not publish an automatic fix for it today.

How to fix it manually

Medium severity

Scanner message: "This article shows no named author, byline or JSON-LD author, which weakens trust signals for readers and AI engines."

Show a named author byline and mirror it in JSON-LD `author`.
