      I am working to add rel=author markup to my companies website. We have about a dozen editors each posting under their own byline.

      Because my team does not have full access to the website's code and our lack of "author" pages, we are using the Email Verification Method. We have set up Google Plus Fan pages for each of the editors. Can I use these pages as the verification source - or does it need to be a personal profile.

      Thanks,

      Mike

        I think it must be a personal profile. You can link their personal profile with the google+ bussiness page.
