We want to claim our articles and get our picture next to our articles in the search engines.
I was offered this article

but Google has this article:

Google's way is simpler, Is that all I need to do? This is for a Joomla site
Thanks!

I'm almost certain that authorship only works for personal accounts. If it is available for businesses then I would still recommend using a personal account.

One last question. Do I need a Google Plus Business account vs a Google Plus Personal Account?
-
I have always implemented authorship the Google way and it has worked everytime.
You're right, it is surprisingly simple!

How does an accurate and active Google My Business profile impact a company that does all of its work nationally/internationally through remote consulting?
I'm trying to convince a client of the importance of their Google My Business profile and other listings. But because they are less concerned about local since they are a remote based B2B coaching group they don't see it as a priority. Any resources to help me unpack the importance?

Yoast Wordpress not working
Hey everyone, In looking through my site and doing some Google searches of titles we've written, it appears that all the posts we're making aren't showing up in Google search results. Example: If i paste the title of this post Netflix CEO suggests partnership with HBO, but HBO quickly nixes the idea into Google, it does not pull our post. Given the uniqueness of the headline, it should pull up our website in SERPS, but it doesn't. My assumption is that this Yoast plugin simply isn't working, but I doubt it's Yoast's fault. The site is not set to private, so that's not the problem. I'm also noticing that my sites description isn't showing up either. Can anyone help me solve this problem, please?
