E-E-A-T

Google's quality framework: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness of content and its creators.

E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. It is a framework Google's human quality raters use to judge whether content is genuinely helpful and reliable. It is not a single score you can see, but it strongly shapes how Google values content, especially on topics that affect health, money, or safety.

You can demonstrate E-E-A-T in practical ways, such as showing real author credentials and first-hand experience, citing reputable sources, displaying reviews and credentials, keeping content accurate and up to date, and being transparent about who you are and how to contact you.
