Definition

E-E-A-T is Google's evolving rubric for what makes a page trustworthy enough to rank, especially for YMYL (Your Money, Your Life) topics. The first E (Experience) was added in late 2022 — Google now wants to see first-hand experience, not just expertise. Demonstrate it with author bios, original data, real examples, and verifiable credentials.

Example

A finance article ranks higher when written by a CFA charterholder with their bio linked to LinkedIn.
