Step 1

Set up a Google+ account. You can do so at the following link: https://plus.google.com

Step 2

Go to the "About" section of your Google+ profile and update all of your information. Be as detailed as possible as Google likes to know everything about you. And we all know the happier Google is the better you will rank in the search engines...

Step 3

Once your Google+ profile is up to date, update the "Contributor Links" section of your profile to include your website URL. Google likes to confirm you are an actual person...

Step 4

Go to the back office of your website and open your "User" section of the back office. If you are using WordPress, about 1/3 of the way down you will find a section to past your Google+ URL. You can get this by going to the about section of your Google+ account and pasting the URL in your browser. Note...you only need the URL up to where your account numbers end.

Step 5

Test whether you have done everything correct. You do this by going to Google's "Structured Data Testing Tool" at the following link: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets. Simply past one of your website articles or pages into the highlighted section and click "preview". If you have done everything correct you should see your image next to your post as shown below.
