What it does

Audits a page for experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trust signals and lists the gaps.

Use on YMYL or high-stakes pages, or any page where credibility drives both rankings and AI citation, to find missing trust signals.

What you need first

  • page URL and topic
  • current page content
  • author and organisation details (optional)

The prompt

You are auditing E-E-A-T using the SearchScore E-E-A-T Signal Framework.

PAGE: {page_url}
TOPIC (note if YMYL): {topic}
CONTENT: {page_content}
AUTHOR / ORG DETAILS (optional): {author_org}

Assess each pillar and list concrete gaps:
1. Experience - is there evidence of first-hand use, testing, or lived experience? What is missing?
2. Expertise - is the author credentialed and visibly qualified for this topic? Is a bio and byline present?
3. Authoritativeness - do sources, citations, external recognition, and brand signals support the claims?
4. Trust - accuracy, transparency, contact/about signals, currency of information, and clear sourcing.

For each pillar: rate Strong / Adequate / Weak with evidence, then list the specific additions that would raise it. Finish with the 5 highest-impact trust fixes in priority order.

Return a pillar-by-pillar assessment and the priority list. British English.
