What is E-E-A-T?

E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. These are the four qualities Google uses to assess whether a piece of content is genuinely helpful and reliable. Pages that demonstrate E-E-A-T tend to rank better, especially for competitive topics.

Experience – Does the content reflect real, first-hand experience with the topic?
Expertise – Is the content written (or reviewed) by someone knowledgeable?
Authoritativeness – Is the source recognised as a leader in its field?
Trustworthiness – Is the information accurate, honest, and safe?

Why This Matters for AI-Generated Content

AI-generated content can be high quality, but it needs human oversight to ensure it reflects real expertise and is factually accurate. Google's Helpful Content guidelines reward content written for people first — not just for search rankings.

How to Improve E-E-A-T on Your Psyke Pages

1. Add Author Information

Where possible, credit a named author with relevant expertise. Add a short bio section at the bottom of pages, explaining who wrote or reviewed the content and why they are qualified.

2. Cite Your Sources

If your page references statistics, studies, or facts, link to the original source. This shows Google (and readers) that your content is backed by credible information.

3. Keep Content Up to Date

Outdated information is a trust signal in the wrong direction. Review your pages every few months and update statistics, pricing, and any time-sensitive information.

4. Be Transparent About AI Use

You do not need to hide that content is AI-assisted, but you should ensure a human has reviewed, verified, and improved it before publishing.

5. Avoid Duplicate Content

Each Psyke page targets a different keyword and should have meaningfully distinct content. Avoid publishing near-identical pages. Use Psyke's variant tools to differentiate content for similar topics.
