How to include your Photo in Google search results

To add an photo to Google Images search results, the first step is to add your photo to a website along with a descriptive text for your image.

While creating the hyperlink to your Google Profile page, do remember to add rel=”me” to the link as shown below (or see the source of my bio page).

<a href="https://profiles.google.com/your_ID"rel="me">My Profile</a>

Step 2: Next you need to ensure that all the blog stories that you have written include a link to your “About Me” page.  This hyperlink should have the rel=”author” attribute as shown below (or see the sidebar of this page for an example).

<a href="http://yourwebsite.com/about/"rel="author">My short bio</a>

Step 3: This is the last step. Sign in to your Google Profiles account and under links, add a new custom link that points to your “About Me” page. Tick the option that says “This page is specifically about me” and save the changes.

That’s it. Wait for Google to re-crawl your new content and then test your links. Open the rich snippets tool and copy-paste the URL of one of your recent stories in the preview box. If the results say verified author (see the next screenshot), you are all set.
