ProfilePage

The ProfilePage schema type identifies a page that represents a single person or organization — author bios, creator channels, employee directories, and community member pages. It powers Google's Profile rich results and bolsters E-E-A-T signals across your site.

About ProfilePage

The most important field is mainEntity — it tells Google "this page is about this person/organization". Use it together with a fully populated Person block (with sameAs pointing to LinkedIn, GitHub, or verified social profiles) so Google can build an authoritative knowledge panel for your authors. ProfilePage is also a strong signal for E-E-A-T evaluations.

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	✓	Title of the profile page.
`dateCreated`	datetime	—	When this profile page was created.
`dateModified`	datetime	—	When this profile page was last modified.
`mainEntity.name`	string	✓	Full name of the person who is the subject of this profile page.
`mainEntity.url`	string	—	Website URL of the person.
`mainEntity.image`	string	—	Profile image URL of the person.
`mainEntity.description`	string	—	Bio or description of the person.
`mainEntity.jobTitle`	string	—	Job title of the person.
`mainEntity.sameAs`	string	—	Social media URL (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.).
