E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)
A framework for demonstrating credibility and first‑hand experience so humans and algorithms can trust and prefer your pages.
E‑E‑A‑T represents qualities that help establish credibility: first‑hand experience, subject‑matter expertise, recognized authority, and trustworthy signals (policies, transparency, sources). It matters because evaluators and systems use these cues to gauge whether your advice or claims deserve visibility, especially for YMYL topics. E‑E‑A‑T influences author bios, bylines, editorial review, citations, external references, and the presence of real‑world proof like case studies and customer quotes.
