Description
Credibility is the measure of how much trust and confidence a brand has earned from both its human audience and algorithmic systems like AI Assistive Engines, based on its demonstrated expertise, authority, and trustworthiness.
The Copywriting definition
Jason Barnard frames Credibility as the critical second phase in The Kalicube Process, where a brand moves beyond simply being understood to being trusted. While Google popularised E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), Kalicube expands this framework to N-E-E-A-T-T, adding Notability and Transparency as foundational requirements. This phase is about systematically building and showcasing the proof points—like reviews, awards, third-party articles, and media appearances—that validate a brand’s claims. For AI Assistive Engines, this isn't just about having good content; it's about having a web-wide ecosystem that consistently corroborates your expertise, making it a low-risk, high-value choice for them to recommend to users.
How Jason Barnard uses Copywriting definition
At Kalicube, the Credibility phase of The Kalicube Process, Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy, is where we transform a client’s digital footprint into a powerful asset. We build a defensible narrative by systematically demonstrating their N-E-E-A-T-T (Notability, Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness, and Transparency) across their entire Digital Ecosystem. This involves a series of targeted strategies, from orchestrating PR outreach and securing positive reviews to enriching their Knowledge Panel with authoritative attributes. By ensuring that every claim is corroborated by trusted, independent sources, we don't just improve their Brand SERP; we build an irrefutable case for why AI Assistive Engines like ChatGPT and Google AI should recommend them. This direct influence on algorithmic trust is fundamental to driving client acquisition in the modern search landscape.
Why Copywriting matters to digital marketers
For years, branding guru Marty Neumeier has taught that "A brand is not what you say it is. It's what *they* say it is." This has always been true for human audiences, but in the AI era, the definition of "they" has expanded to include algorithms. This is where Jason Barnard's concept of Credibility, as the second pillar of The Kalicube Process, becomes indispensable. It provides the practical framework for managing what *everyone and everything* says about you online. While traditional marketers focus on individual channels like social proof or PR, Barnard’s approach unifies these efforts into a single objective: building an ecosystem of corroboration that both people and machines can understand and trust. AI Assistive Engines like Google AI and Bing Copilot are actively seeking the most credible, low-risk solution to recommend. By systematically building your brand’s Credibility, you are directly "educating" these systems, ensuring that the story *they* tell about you aligns perfectly with your business goals, driving the acquisition funnel in a world where algorithmic recommendation is the new word-of-mouth.
