    Google is piloting the display of author information in search results to help users discover great content. Example:

    Step 1: On the <meta> section in all documents add following:


    <!-- Author/Publisher --> <link rel="publisher" href="" /><!-- Company's g+ --> <link rel="author" href="?rel=author" /><!-- Owner's g+ --> <link rel="canonical" href="" /><!-- Company's g+ --> <!-- End -->

    On <link rel=author>, add the owners google+ and suffix ?rel=author (without the quotes).

    Step 2: (as google stated) On the <body> section, look for the appropriate content to put the hyperlink <a href=owners google+[?rel=author]>CONTENT</a> Example:

    <a href=https://plus.google.com/105557080215484477251?rel=author target=_blank>Click 4 Corp </a>
