How to Set Up Schema Markup for Personal Brand Site

Task Library

Create the missing definitive article – a guide to implementing Person schema with sameAs links that bind a personal brand's site and social profiles into one entity Google can recognize (High-priority gap).

Category: Gaps & Tasks to Create

Use this when Person schema keeps being implemented ad hoc because no hub documents it – this skill creates the definitive article that closes the gap. Priority: High.

Inputs

  • At least one real personal-brand schema implementation to document (a worked example with validation results)
  • Every existing blitzmetrics.com article that mentions schema, sameAs, or entity markup
  • The brand's verified profile list (the sameAs targets) and consistent NAP details
  • WordPress access (Gutenberg), /blog-posting-guidelines, and the Nine Requirements checklist

Steps

  1. Identify the concept and gather every existing page touching schema markup – the hub organizes them, it does not replace them.
  2. Write the definition (first two paragraphs): what Person schema with sameAs links is – structured data binding every verified profile into one entity – what it is not, and why personal brands need it.
  3. Document the complete process: choose Person schema (LocalBusiness where the brand is also a local business, per /digital-plumbing); fill identity fields consistent with the site and NAP; add sameAs links to every verified social profile; place the markup site-wide; validate it; confirm it passes the /website-qa-audit checks ("Verify Person schema with sameAs links", "Check schema connects to all verified profiles"). Note where it sits in /personal-brand Phase 1 and how it feeds the later Knowledge Panel work.
  4. Link every real example of an implemented schema, each with a 1-2 sentence relevance note.
  5. Cross-link related definitive articles: /personal-brand, /digital-plumbing, /website-qa-audit.
  6. Add the course/service CTA near the bottom.
  7. Set a short, memorable URL redirecting to the hub – never to the homepage or a case study.
  8. Add an above-the-fold clickable diagram: the entity graph – site at the center, sameAs spokes to each verified profile.
  9. Add E-E-A-T: real validation screenshots and outcomes (entity recognition, panel progress), practitioner testimonials – highest authority first.
  10. Publish as a Post in the Definitive Articles category (Gutenberg), then run the Meta-Article Prompt (/meta-article-prompt-template) for the companion meta-article.
  11. Flip the dashboard status from Gap (Red), then update this skill's definitive_article field and the related Digital Plumbing and Personal Branding schema tasks to point at the new hub.

Definition of done (QA checklist)

  • Article meets all Nine Requirements, including the above-the-fold entity diagram and E-E-A-T section
  • Published as a Post in the Definitive Articles category via the standard block editor
  • Complies with Blog Posting Guidelines (title <60 chars, meta <160, keyword in first paragraph, no stock images, no AI-fluff)
  • Companion meta-article published and linking up to the new hub
  • This skill.md and the sibling schema tasks updated from GAP to the live short URL
  • Linked back to related hubs: /personal-brand, /digital-plumbing, /website-qa-audit

Example(s)

  • Example needed – run the Meta-Article Prompt after first publish; /meta-article-prompt-template (29 linked examples) sets the example-volume bar.
  • /internal-linking is the model hub that ships with its own skill file for AI agents.
