E-E-A-TImpact: Medium
What we measure
First-person language indicating real experience ('we tested', 'I built').
Why it matters for AI citation
Google's E-E-A-T update prioritizes lived experience. First-person signals it.
How to fix
Use first-person sparingly but precisely — 'we tested', 'in our experience', 'I found that…'.
