There are many social media websites that you share your content on, but Facebook often leads the way.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the good news is that Facebook has recently introduced an author tag to help you grow your audience there and connect with people who are most interested in what you have to share.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see how it works.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Once you implement it on your website, the \u201cAuthor Tags\u201d will allow people to easily follow you after they have read the content you shared.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, after someone clicks on a link you shared and read its content, the preview that they previously clicked on will show either a \u201cLike\u201d button (if you shared the content via a Facebook Page) or a \u201cFollow\u201d button (if you shared the content with your Facebook profile). This makes it much easier for Facebook users to follow the authors of the content right away.<\/p>\n<p>This is how it looks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Facebook-Introduces-Author-Tags-to-Help-You-Grow-Your-Audience.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3624\" src=\"https:\/\/improvemysearchranking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Facebook-Introduces-Author-Tags-to-Help-You-Grow-Your-Audience.png\" alt=\"Facebook Introduces Author Tags to Help You Grow Your Audience\" width=\"500\" height=\"483\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have shared a link from your Facebook profile page, the preview will display a \u201cFollow\u201d button.
