What is E-E-A-T?

Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness: the qualities Google's quality raters use to assess content.

Google added the first "E" (Experience) in December 2022. E-E-A-T isn't a single ranking factor, but it describes what Google's systems try to reward.

Trust is the most important part: accurate information, clear authorship, and transparent business details.
