E-E-A-T Audit & Scoring
<!-- Updated: 2026-06-10 -->Framing (state this in every report — from Google's helpful-content doc)
- E-E-A-T is NOT a specific ranking factor. Google's systems use a mix of factors that can identify content with good E-E-A-T.
- Quality raters use E-E-A-T to evaluate whether ranking systems are working; rater data is not used directly in ranking ("feedback cards from diners"). Rater guidelines: https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/hsw-sqrg.pdf
- Trust is the most important member. The others contribute to trust; content doesn't have to demonstrate all four.
- YMYL gets extra weight: topics affecting health, financial stability, safety, or societal welfare are held to stronger E-E-A-T. Detect YMYL and raise the pass bar one point per dimension.
Inputs
- URL — fetch with WebFetch (fallback
curl -sL), or - Local draft — Read tool (markdown/HTML). For drafts, score content-side signals only and mark site-level signals (HTTPS, about page) as N/A.
Execution
- Fetch the page HTML; also fetch the homepage,
/about, and/contact(HEAD or GET) to verify site-level trust pages exist. - Detect signals per dimension using the rubric below (HTML parsing
heuristics: bylines,
rel=author, Person/ProfilePage JSON-LD,<time>elements, outbound citation links, first-person experience markers). - Score each dimension 0-5 with a verbatim evidence quote from the page for every point awarded or withheld.
- Run the "Who, How, Why" questions (below).
- Recommend the 3 highest-impact improvements (lowest-scoring dimension first; Trust outranks ties).
Scoring Rubric (0-5 per dimension)
Experience — first-hand use or involvement
Detectable signals:
- First-person evidence markers: "we tested", "I used", "after 6 months of..."
- Original photos/screenshots/video clearly taken by the author (not stock)
- Concrete specifics only a participant would know (test counts, settings, prices paid, dates visited)
- Before/after results, process documentation, original data
- For reviews: evidence of the work involved, per Google's product reviews guidance (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/ecommerce/write-high-quality-reviews)
Score guide: 0 = pure summary of other sources; 3 = some first-hand detail; 5 = thoroughly documented first-hand experience with evidence.
Expertise — demonstrable knowledge
Detectable signals:
- Author byline present where readers would expect one
- Byline links to a bio/profile page with relevant credentials, background, and areas covered (ProfilePage/Person markup is a plus)
- Expert review attribution ("Medically reviewed by...") on YMYL content
- Technical depth appropriate to audience; claims sourced; no easily-verified factual errors
Score guide: 0 = anonymous, unsourced; 3 = named author with bio; 5 = credentialed expert (or demonstrable enthusiast) with linked, verifiable background.
Authoritativeness — recognized go-to source
Detectable signals:
- Citations TO authoritative external sources (and being cited — check via
Ahrefs/
/seo-ahrefs-backlinksif available) - Site has a clear primary topic/purpose and topical depth (related content)
- Brand/author presence beyond the site (
sameAslinks, recognized outlets) - "If someone researched this site, would they find it widely recognized as an authority on its topic?" (Google's expertise question)
Score guide: 0 = no sourcing, no topical focus; 3 = well-sourced within a focused site; 5 = demonstrably recognized authority on the topic.
Trust — the most important dimension
Detectable signals:
- HTTPS with valid certificate
- About page, contact page with real contact info (address/email/phone)
- Visible
datePublished/dateModifiedstamps that aren't gamed - Editorial/review/corrections policy (especially news/YMYL)
- Privacy policy and terms; clear ad/affiliate disclosure
- Headline matches content (no exaggeration or shock framing)
- No spelling/production sloppiness; functioning links
Score guide: 0 = anonymous site, no policies, mismatched claims; 3 = HTTPS + about/contact + dates; 5 = full transparency stack incl. corrections policy and disclosures.
"Who, How, Why" Check (from creating-helpful-content)
- Who: Is it self-evident who authored the content? Are there bylines where expected? Do bylines lead to author background?
- How: Is the production method shown where it builds trust (testing methodology, evidence of work)? If automation/AI substantially generated the content: is that self-evident through disclosure, with background on how and why AI was used?
- Why: Created primarily to help people who arrive at the site — or
primarily to attract search visits? (If the latter, route to
/seo-helpful-contentfor the full self-assessment.)
Output
## E-E-A-T Audit — <URL or draft>
> Framing: E-E-A-T is not a direct ranking factor; raters use it to validate
> Google's systems. Trust is the most important dimension.
YMYL topic: YES/NO (bar adjusted accordingly)
