Benefits of Displaying Author Information
Displaying author information on your Shopify blog posts offers the following benefits.
Has a Positive Effect on SEO

E-E-A-T stands for the following.
- Expertise

Displaying author information shows that "the article is written by an expert with authority and experience" and "the blog post is delivering trustworthy information," which is considered beneficial for SEO.

Increases the Likelihood of Purchase (Behavior Change)
While it's now possible to buy all kinds of goods and services online, buyers are becoming more cautious about online purchases — since incorrect information about things like medicine or health foods can negatively affect their health, and expensive items like appliances or brand-name goods carry significant financial risk if the purchase doesn't work out.
"Who is recommending it" and "whose information it is" have become important deciding factors for online purchases. Increasingly, people make purchase decisions for things like medicine based on information from experts (trustworthy people) such as doctors or pharmacists, and for things like appliances or brand-name goods based on information from influential people like influencers.
