What is the difference between E-E-A-T and YMYL?
E-E-A-T and YMYL describe different things. E-E-A-T — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness — is the lens Google's quality raters use to judge how reliable a page and its creator are. YMYL, "Your Money or Your Life," describes the topic itself: pages about health, finance, legal, or safety matters that could affect a reader's wellbeing, money, or rights if the advice is wrong. The connection is that YMYL pages are held to a much stricter E-E-A-T standard, because thin, anonymous, or unsourced content on those subjects can cause real harm. Non-YMYL pages, like a hobby or recipe post, can rank well with lighter trust signals. This auditor scores the four E-E-A-T pillars so you can see whether your trust signals match the seriousness of your topic before publishing.
How many checks does the E-E-A-T audit run and how is the score calculated?
The auditor runs a structured set of checks split evenly across the four pillars, with each pillar — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness — worth 25 points for a 100-point total. Every individual check returns a pass, partial, or fail result and contributes points accordingly, so a partial credit still moves your score. Checks cover things like first-person language, author byline and credentials, citations to authoritative sources, structured data, publication and updated dates, HTTPS, and disclosure and privacy links. Each check also carries a high, medium, or low severity rating, which is used to sort the issues list rather than to weight the points. The final number is the sum of points earned across all checks. Paste your content to see the per-pillar breakdown and the exact checks you passed or missed.
Why does pasting full HTML give a more accurate E-E-A-T score than plain text?
The depth of the audit depends on what the tool can actually read. Plain article text only exposes language signals — first-person phrasing, stated credentials, numeric claims from hands-on testing, and disclosure wording — so checks that depend on page structure get partial or estimated credit. Pasting full page HTML unlocks the complete audit: the tool parses your JSON-LD schema types, counts images, inspects outbound links to high-authority domains, and detects privacy, contact, and about links. Those structural signals make up a large share of the Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness pillars, so a text-only audit can understate a page that is actually well marked up. For the most reliable score, copy the rendered HTML of the published or preview page rather than just the body copy, then paste it into the tool.
Does a high E-E-A-T score guarantee my page will rank?
No. E-E-A-T is not a direct ranking factor you can dial in like a title tag. It is the framework Google's human quality raters use to evaluate sample results, and those judgments inform how the ranking systems are trained — they do not feed a live score into your page. A high number from this auditor means the visible trust signals are present: a real author, credentials, citations, schema, dates, and disclosures. It does not confirm that the content is genuinely experienced, accurate, or better than competing pages, which still has to be earned through real reporting and good writing. Treat the score as a checklist that surfaces missing signals, not a verdict on quality or a ranking prediction. Run the audit, close the highest-severity gaps first, then re-run it as you keep improving the actual content.
What author and trust signals should I add to improve a low score?
Low scores usually come from missing identity and trust signals rather than weak writing. To strengthen Expertise, add a clear author byline with stated credentials — a real name, relevant qualifications, or years of experience — and link it to an author bio. For Authoritativeness, cite and link out to high-authority sources, add Article, Organization, or Person structured data, and show both a publication date and a "last updated" date. For Trustworthiness, serve the page over HTTPS, include contact information, link a privacy policy, and add affiliate or sponsorship disclosures where relevant. For Experience, write in the first person about what you actually tested, include specific numbers, and use original images. The auditor collects every failed and partial check into a prioritized fix list sorted by severity, so paste your content and work down that list from the top.

About the E-E-A-T Content Auditor
The E-E-A-T Content Auditor scores a piece of content against the signals Google's Search Quality Raters look for when judging whether a page is worth ranking. You paste an article — as plain text, full HTML, or via the URL field — and it runs a structured set of checks across the four pillars Google names in its guidelines: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. The result is a 100-point scorecard, a per-pillar breakdown, and a prioritized list of concrete fixes. It is built for content writers, SEO specialists, editors, and site owners who want a fast, repeatable read on content quality before they publish.
What E-E-A-T means and why the score matters
E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. It is not a direct ranking factor you can tune like a title tag; it is the lens Google's human quality raters use to evaluate sample results, and those judgments inform how the search algorithms are trained. The stakes are highest on YMYL — "Your Money or Your Life" — topics such as health, finance, legal, and safety advice, where thin or anonymous content can cause real harm and is held to a stricter standard. Auditing for these signals matters because a technically clean page can still under-perform if it reads as faceless, unsourced, or unverifiable.
What the auditor checks
Each of the four pillars is worth 25 points, totalling 100, and every individual check returns a pass, partial, or fail result with a severity rating. The signals it looks for include:
- Experience — first-person language ("I tested", "we tried"), personal anecdotes or case studies, original images, specific numbers from hands-on testing, and date-stamped statements.
- Expertise — a clear author byline, stated credentials (Dr., PhD, years of experience, certifications), appropriate industry terminology, citations to authoritative sources, and references to studies or research.
- Authoritativeness — outbound links to high-authority domains (Wikipedia, .gov, .edu, major journals), Article/Organization/Person structured data, a visible publication date, a "last updated" date, and a byline that links to an author bio.
- Trustworthiness — HTTPS, a real-name author bio, cited sources, contact information, affiliate or sponsorship disclosures, and a privacy policy link.
Failed and partial checks are collected into an Issues and recommendations list, sorted high-to-low by severity, so you can see exactly what to fix first.
Choosing text, HTML, or URL input
The depth of the audit depends on what you give it. Plain article text lets the tool read language signals — first-person phrasing, credentials, numeric claims, and disclosure wording — but it cannot see schema, images, or link structure. Pasting full page HTML unlocks the complete audit: the tool parses your JSON-LD schema types, counts images, inspects outbound links, and detects privacy, contact, and about links. The URL field is a label only — for privacy reasons the auditor does not fetch remote pages, so pair a URL with the page's pasted HTML or text for a real result.
Private, in-browser, and free
The E-E-A-T Content Auditor runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded or stored on a server, which means unpublished drafts and client work stay on your own device. There is no sign-up, no usage cap, and no software to install. When the audit finishes you can copy a plain-text report or download the results as TXT, CSV, or JSON to drop into a content brief or share with your team.
Treat the score as a checklist, not a verdict: a high number means the trust signals are present, but genuine experience and accurate writing still have to be earned. Use the prioritized fixes to close the biggest gaps first, then re-run the audit as you edit.
