What is the Google EAT standard?

As I mentioned, in 2015 Google released information on the criteria that will guide the analysis of websites in terms of expertise, authoritativeness and credibility. Depending on the subject matter of a given website, these metrics may have completely different meanings - but what do they mean?

The “expertise” metric concerns content that should be edited and created by experts in a given industry. Their recommendations are important, and they can affect our health and safety. The “authority” metric is responsible for the trust and authority of our website among users who visit it. The “credibility” metric, on the other hand, concerns all factors that affect the credibility and security of users who visit our website, and such elements include not only the published content, but also technical aspects, such as the SSL certificate or errors such as “404” detected by Google search engine indexing robots.
