EEAT is one of the key components that AI Search, Google and other search platforms use to decide if your content is worth ranking. Google often updates algorithms for search criteria and the latest one was June/July 2025.
A key change in the Google update was monitoring whole websites not just individual pages.
EEAT - Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trustworthy are an essential part of building the trust with search engines.
Today I want to look at some of the trends that will affect us as onine marketers. Specifically the data starting to come through from SISTRIX Visibility Index and why it's important to note the trends to build EEAT.
