TL;DR. Show experience with first-person specifics. Show expertise with named authors + credentials. Show authoritativeness with citations + brand mentions. Show trustworthiness with HTTPS, real address, real team, fast resolution of complaints.
EEAT is the framework Google publicly uses to communicate what “high quality content” means. It is not a single ranking signal — it is a collection. Each E (and the T) is demonstrated differently. This guide shows how.
Key takeaways
- Experience: first-person specifics
- Expertise: named authors with credentials
- Authoritativeness: citations + brand mentions
- Trustworthiness: site signals
- YMYL categories where EEAT matters most
Experience: first-person specifics
Show you have done the thing. Specific dates, names, screenshots, photos, data. Generic AI-written prose fails experience. First-person specifics pass.
Expertise: named authors with credentials
Real author bio block on every article. LinkedIn profile linked. Credentials listed (years of experience, specific certifications, named past employers). Anonymous content fails expertise signals.
Authoritativeness: citations + brand mentions
Cite primary sources by name. Earn brand mentions on authoritative external sites. Wikipedia, trade publications, expert roundups all contribute.
Trustworthiness: site signals
HTTPS, fast page speed, real contact info, real physical address, named team, transparent pricing, complaint resolution visible publicly. Negative signals: bait-and-switch headlines, hidden fees, scam-like UX.
YMYL categories where EEAT matters most
Health, finance, legal, news, government, civic engagement. YMYL (“Your Money or Your Life”) categories get the strictest EEAT scrutiny. If you operate in YMYL, EEAT is not optional.
