E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness)

Definition

E-E-A-T is the set of qualities Google’s search quality guidelines use to judge content: experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness, with trust the most important.

Example

An article on dental implants written and signed by a practising dentist, with real photos and clear contacts, shows more E-E-A-T than an anonymous rewrite of other sites.

Common mistakes

  • Treating it as a single ranking score you can “raise”: it is a framework for quality, not a setting.
  • Adding a fake author or invented credentials — that destroys trust instead of building it.
  • Hiding who is behind the site: no contacts, no company details, no real people.
