SEO Content: E-E-A-T Signals
Guides E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) implementation for SEO. E-E-A-T helps search engines and users assess content quality; YMYL topics (health, finance, legal) require higher E-E-A-T.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
What Is E-E-A-T
| Element | Meaning | Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Experience | First-hand, real-world experience | Case studies, original research, user testimonials, "we tested" |
| Expertise | Subject-matter knowledge | Author credentials, expert quotes, technical depth |
| Authoritativeness | Recognition as a source | Backlinks, citations, author page, publisher reputation |
| Trustworthiness | Accuracy, transparency | Citations, About page, contact, HTTPS, no misleading content |
E-A-T (without Experience) is used in Featured Snippet context—Bing/Google emphasize correctness, document quality, then authority and trust. See featured-snippet.
Author Bio
Components
| Element | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Real name | Full name used consistently across platforms |
| Photo | Professional headshot; compress for LCP |
| Credentials | Current role, relevant experience tied to article topic |
| Verifiable links | LinkedIn, personal site; align sameAs in Person schema |
| Author page | Dedicated page per author; bio, other articles, social |
| Lightweight action (optional) | Newsletter signup, social follow — avoid link stacking |
Placement
- End of article (default): User finishes reading, naturally curious about author; standard for blogs and deep content.
- Top of article: Strong expert endorsement; suited for news, YMYL, or short items.
- Sidebar (desktop): Compact version. Mobile fallback required — sidebar content often disappears on small screens; place author block within the main content column at the bottom on mobile.
Multi-Author
For co-authored, reviewed, or fact-checked content, list multiple author cards or label roles consistently (e.g. "Written by / Reviewed by").
Schema
Author entity uses Person JSON-LD with name, url, image, jobTitle, worksFor, knowsAbout, sameAs. Must match visible page content — no exaggeration or fabricated credentials. Validate with Rich Results Test. See entity-seo, schema-markup.
Citations & References
| Scenario | Practice |
|---|---|
| Data or statistics | Cite source inline or in References section |
| Expert quotes | Attribute; link to source or profile |
| Reference section | For 5+ citations; list at end before Related posts |
| Format | Inline links preferred; numbered refs for academic-style |
| When to include | Any claim benefiting from authority (stats, studies, definitions) |
| External links | Link to reputable sources; avoid low-quality sites |
Experience Signals
| Signal | Use |
|---|---|
| Case studies | Real customer outcomes; Challenge→Solution→Results |
| Original research | First-party data, surveys, tests |
| First-hand testing | "We tested X"; product reviews with real use |
| User testimonials | Authentic quotes; link to full case study when available |
YMYL (Your Money Your Life)
Topics that can significantly impact health, financial stability, or safety require higher E-E-A-T:
- Health: Medical, mental health, nutrition advice
- Finance: Investment, tax, insurance, loans
- Legal: Legal advice, regulations
- Safety: Product safety, emergency procedures
Guidelines: Author credentials, citations to authoritative sources, clear sourcing, regular updates, avoid speculation.
AI-Assisted Content
When content is AI-assisted: human review before publish; verify facts and add citations; original insights or data; avoid generic phrasing. Transparency and human refinement support E-E-A-T.
Output Format
- E-E-A-T assessment (gaps, strengths)
