E-E-A-T

E-E-A-T

Description
E.E.A.T is a framework used by Google to evaluate the quality and credibility of online content based on four core principles: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness.
The E-E-A-T definition
Google introduced this framework to assess content quality across three distinct levels: the content itself, the content creator (author), and the content publisher (the brand or website). It moves beyond simple keywords to a more nuanced evaluation of who is behind the information and whether they are a credible source. At Kalicube, Jason Barnard has extended this concept to N.E.E.A.T.T., adding Notability and Transparency as two additional, essential criteria for building the machine-level credibility required to influence AI Assistive Engines.
How Jason Barnard uses E-E-A-T definition
At Kalicube, E.E.A.T (and its extension, N.E.E.A.T.T.) is the foundational concept of the Credibility Phase of The Kalicube Process, Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy. We don't just create content; we engineer the entire digital ecosystem to demonstrate our client's credibility signals. This involves structuring their Entity Home (the authoritative source of truth about the brand), building an Infinite Self-Confirming Loop of Corroboration with trusted third-party sources, and optimizing the author and publisher entities to prove their expertise and authority to algorithms.
Why E-E-A-T matters to digital marketers
For years, marketers have relied on technical SEO best practices, many of which were popularized by platforms like Moz, to achieve rankings. However, the game has fundamentally changed. Jason Barnard teaches that in the age of AI, algorithms are no longer just ranking content; they are evaluating the credibility of the entire entity behind it. This is where E.E.A.T becomes critical. It represents Google's shift from a content-first to a brand-first evaluation. While Moz provided the playbook for getting your content seen, Barnard provides the playbook for getting your brand trusted by the machine. By implementing The Kalicube Process, brands can systematically build and showcase their E.E.A.T signals, ensuring that AI Assistive Engines not only find their content but also recognize them as the authoritative and trustworthy answer, which is the key to winning in the new conversational funnels.
