Missing Author E-E-A-T Signals

No author bylines, bios, or credentials, weakening trust for YMYL topics.

Medium priority · Content

What it is

E-E-A-T asks who wrote the content and why they're credible. Missing bylines, author bios, and credentials weaken trust, especially for health, finance, and legal content.

Why it matters

For YMYL topics, Google heavily weights author expertise. Faceless content ranks worse and converts less.

How to fix it

Add named authors with real bios, photos, and credentials. Link to author pages and show review/expertise signals where relevant.

What our AI checks

Our engine flags YMYL pages missing author and trust signals and recommends adding E-E-A-T content.
