according to this article https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-eat/structured-data/

i want to charge the author as an Organization and not a Person.

so how to do this change with rank math (free)

This article says

(3. Author (Schema property)
Author is a Schema property that can be used for any Schema type that falls under the CreativeWork or Review classification, such as Article or NewsArticle.

This property should be used as markup for the author’s byline on a piece of content.

The expected types for the Author property are either a Person or Organization, so if your site publishes content on behalf of the company, it’s important to list the author as an Organization and not a Person.)

Hello,

You can change the Person schema to Organization upon choosing it in Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Local SEO:
https://rankmath.com/kb/local-seo/#person-or-company

To verify the schema, you may test the live URL using these tools:
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
https://validator.schema.org/

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

To add that schema in Rank Math, you may need to use and customize this filter on your site:
https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#extend-json-ld-data

Meanwhile, in Rank Math PRO, you can easily import it using the custom schema generator:
https://rankmath.com/kb/schema-generator/#schema-generator

Hope that helps.

Hello,

The code seems to be correct. Kindly try that and see if that would work. If not, then try using ProfilePage instead of Person. Like for example:
```
$data['ProfilePage']
```
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

It seems like you want to modify the author property of the Article Schema. Please use the following filter to do that and remove the filter shared previously:
```
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity", function( $entity ) {
		$entity['author']['url'] = 'https://www.takemetechnically.com/author/sourabh-raikwar/';
		$entity['author']['name'] = 'Sourabh Raikwar';
		$entity['author']['jobTitle'] = 'Sr. Director of takemetechnically & Head of Product Research';
		$entity['author']['description'] = 'Sourabh Raikwar is a passionate blogger and content creator who has been writing extensively on technology topics since 2018, with a focus on online shopping deals and product reviews. He graduated with a B.Tech degree five years ago and enjoys road trips and exploring the latest gadgets.';
		$entity['author']['knowsAbout'] = [
			'Laptop',
			'Headphone',
			'Kitchen Appliances',
			'Home Appliances',
			'Air Fryer',
			'Smartwatch'
		];
                return $entity;
});
```
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Jeremy

Hello,

You’ll have to create multiple conditions inside the filter function. Here’s an example which you can use:
```
add_filter("rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity", function ($entity) {
	if(get_the_author() == 'jeremy'){ /* change username as per requirement */
		$entity['author']['url'] = 'https://www.takemetechnically.com/author/sourabh-raikwar/';
		$entity['author']['name'] = 'Sourabh Raikwar';
		$entity['author']['jobTitle'] = 'Sr. Director of takemetechnically & Head of Product Research';
		$entity['author']['description'] = 'Sourabh Raikwar is a passionate blogger and content creator who has been writing extensively on technology topics since 2018, with a focus on online shopping deals and product reviews. He graduated with a B.Tech degree five years ago and enjoys road trips and exploring the latest gadgets.';
		$entity['author']['knowsAbout'] = [
			'Laptop',
			'Headphone',
			'Kitchen Appliances',
			'Home Appliances',
			'Air Fryer',
			'Smartwatch'
		];
	}else if(get_the_author() == 'john'){ /* change username as per requirement */
		$entity['author']['url'] = 'https://www.takemetechnically.com/author/sourabh-raikwar/';
		$entity['author']['name'] = 'Sourabh Raikwar';
		$entity['author']['jobTitle'] = 'Sr. Director of takemetechnically & Head of Product Research';
		$entity['author']['description'] = 'Sourabh Raikwar is a passionate blogger and content creator who has been writing extensively on technology topics since 2018, with a focus on online shopping deals and product reviews. He graduated with a B.Tech degree five years ago and enjoys road trips and exploring the latest gadgets.';
		$entity['author']['knowsAbout'] = [
			'Laptop',
			'Headphone',
			'Kitchen Appliances',
			'Home Appliances',
			'Air Fryer',
			'Smartwatch'
		];
	} /* add more <code>else if</code> statement to add more user */

	return $entity;
});
```
The code needs to be modified as per your requirement.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.
