SEO Basics
E-E-A-T
E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness, a quality framework used in Google’s search quality guidance.
What it means
E-E-A-T is not a single ranking score. It describes signals and evidence that help evaluators and search systems understand whether content and its source are reliable, especially for sensitive topics.
Why it matters
It matters because users and search systems need to trust advice, products, services and claims. Strong E-E-A-T usually comes from accurate content, visible expertise, reputation, transparency and useful experience.
Example
A medical article can show who wrote or reviewed it, cite reliable sources, explain limitations and keep information updated.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include adding fake author bios, treating E-E-A-T as a meta tag, or assuming authority can replace genuinely useful content.
