E-E-A-T Scorer
Short answer
Checks five on-page trust signals: named author, dates, cited sources, about/contact links and author markup. E-E-A-T itself is judged by people.
What It Does
Checks your page for five on-page trust signals: an author byline, a publish or update date, links to at least two external pages, a link to an about or contact page, and author or publisher markup. The score is the share of the five that are present, with a pass/fail line for each. E-E-A-T itself is judged by people; the tool shows only whether these visible signals are there.
Why It Matters
Google asks its quality raters to judge experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust, and says its systems aim to reward helpful, reliable content. Readers look for the same things: who wrote a page, when it was updated and where the facts come from. These five signals are simple ways to show that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is E-E-A-T?
E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness. It is the framework in Google's quality rater guidelines. Raters do not change rankings directly; their ratings help Google evaluate its search systems.
Is E-E-A-T a ranking factor?
Not as a single signal. It is the framework Google's quality raters use, and Google says its ranking systems aim to reward content that shows these qualities. There is no published figure for how much any one signal matters.
What counts as an author signal?
A meta author tag, a rel="author" or itemprop="author" attribute, a byline class name, or text like "By Jane Doe" near the top of the page.
How can I add more citations?
Link to at least two external pages that support your facts. The check counts any outbound link, so it cannot tell a strong source from a weak one — that judgement is yours.
What's the easiest signal to fix?
Linking to an About or Contact page from your page is usually the quickest win — it's one of the five signals and takes minutes to add.
