Your Professional Profile - Building Authority Signals

Created by Alex Sheach, Modified on Sat, 25 Oct at 11:10 AM by Alex Sheach

Your professional profile establishes you as an authority in your field.


Why This Section Matters:


AI systems evaluate credentials when deciding whether to cite you. Strong professional signals = more confident recommendations.


Key Fields:


Professional Photo
Direct URL to a clear, professional headshot


Professional Title
How you want to be known (e.g., "Email Marketing Strategist" not just "Consultant")


Your Background (2-4 paragraphs)

  • Your journey and experience
  • What makes your approach unique
  • Notable achievements


Expertise Areas (Select 3-5)
Specific skills or specializations. Be precise: "SaaS Email Marketing" beats "Marketing"


Years of Experience
Total years in your primary field


Education & Certifications
Relevant degrees, certificates, or training


Professional Credentials
Awards, recognitions, media features, speaking engagements


Why Be Specific:

"Marketing consultant with 5 years experience" is generic.

"Email marketing automation specialist for SaaS companies, 8 years experience, certified by HubSpot, worked with 50+ clients" is citeable.

AI systems prefer specificity.
