E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness)

E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. On the surface, these seem like four isolated nouns. But, in reality, they are four indispensable elements in an SEO campaign.

It is a concept in online data optimization. This article explains it and points out its importance in digital marketing.

What is E-E-A-T?

Also known as Google E-E-A-T, it stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. It identifies four components of a reputable website. These parameters are considered when evaluating the level of a website’s domain.

Let’s see it as a criterion that relates to both a website and the website itself. It proposes a series of efficiency guidelines for optimizing websites with a protocol for complying with good content and quality optimization practices.

It means that, beyond the keywords, links, or technical optimizations we perform for a website, basic implicit rules must be met to achieve the best level of authority on the Internet.

Key points in E-E-A-T

Let’s go into more detail. Let’s see what it is and how each of these words affects the level of our domain and the quality of our website for search engines:

  • Experience. It refers to the time a website has been on the market and the level of proficiency of the services offered in that area. It reviews the website’s trajectory.
  • Expertise. Here, we find experience. It refers to skills and knowledge in a certain area. 
  • Authoritativeness identifies us as authorities. We are a point of reference when talking about a product or service. It is the level of recognition we occupy in a certain niche.
  • Trustworthiness. This is the combination of the last three points. Our extensive experience, knowledge, and level of expertise earn us the trust of our customers. Here, we are a reference that practically acts on its own.
