    Google E-E-A-T - Experience

    Experience

    First off, it should be pointed out that experience doesn't necessarily equate to years of trading as a business. Certainly the experience element is a difficult factor for entry level businesses to attain for their websites, however on the basis of the dependency of the E-E-A-T principles it can be attained through taking a holistic approach to your business online presence. Experience is seen from the perspective of search quality guidelines. These factors include:

     

    • The type of website
    • How easy a website is to understand
    • The quality and originality of the content
    • The reputation of the content and its content creators.

    A website or content creator who is seen as uniquely authoritative / go-to source for a topic will have a very high E-E-A-T rating by Google - especially where experience is the primary factor in trust.

    Google E-E-A-T - Expertise

    Expertise

    As a business you can’t just tell people that they are an experts in your field or industry, they need to prove it. Expertise means demonstrating a high standard of knowledge of a business, product, service or skill. This should be shown across multiple social media channels

     

    Businesses need to demonstrate expertise in understanding what their audiences want. This can be achieved by evaluating their clients' websites and Google Business Profile listings - then answering these questions, pin pointing weaker areas then helping them fill their niche:

    • Is expertise demonstrated in the information they display on their website, blogs or share on social media?
    • Do their online reviews demonstrate that they have expertise in their industry?
    Google E-E-A-T - Authoritativeness

    Authoritativeness

    When consumers are looking for answers, they go to the business that is an authority in that area. To become the authority, a business needs to show that they are reliable and can be trusted, which comes through by maximizing the usage of features available within a Google Business listing.

     

    Authority status can be built up by getting consistent positive reviews, answering customer questions, publishing GBP posts and even adding optimised images to the listing.

     

    Authority can be achieved via your Google Profile by:

    • Frequently publishing posts to your Business Profile
    • Encourage customers to write reviews
    • Uploading current and name optimised images

    Responding and adding to questions and answers 

    Google E-E-A-T - Trust

    Trust

    Building trust takes time, but it’s crucial - and for any client, existing and potential is at the heart of the relationship. It can be a challenge to prove trust to both potential customers as well as Google too, but it can be done. The key is to ensure that all online activity such as social media is honest, transparent and real.

     

    Businesses must publish accurate information, respond to both positive and negative reviews – and be accessible to customers.

     

    Online trust building can be achieved by :

    • Ensuring content on your website is accurate
    • Responding within a reasonable timeframe to all reviews, whether positive or negaitive
    • Ensuring that all business' listings online have consistent, complete and accurate information!

     

  • How web-aviso gets your Google Business Profile to stand out ... The Secret Sauce !

    Google look to its business profile listings to help validate the legitimacy of a business and its details so that it can serve the most relevant results to searchers. If you run a business that serves customers at a particular location, or you serve customers within a designated service area, your Google Business Profile can help people find you. A Google Business Profile enables you to maintain accurate information about your business online, interact with customers and attract new customers. An optimised business listing is twice as likely to be considered trustworthy, and those with reviews most likely to be contacted.
