Website Stories

Creating helpful, reliable, people-first content from Google Search Central (SEO Fundamentals)

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/creating-helpful-content

This page is designed to help creators evaluate if they're producing such content.

1. Self-assess your content

1.1 Content and quality questions

1.2 Expertise questions

1. Focus on people-first content
2. Avoid creating search engine-first content
3. Get to know E-E-A-T and the quality rater guidelines

content demonstrates aspects of experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness, or what we call E-E-A-T

1. Ask "Who, How, and Why" about your content

For example:

Content and quality questions

• Does the content provide original information, reporting, research, or analysis?
• Does the content provide a substantial, complete, or comprehensive description of the topic?
• Does the content provide insightful analysis or interesting information that is beyond the obvious?
• If the content draws on other sources, does it avoid simply copying or rewriting those sources, and instead provide substantial additional value and originality?
• Does the main heading or page title provide a descriptive, helpful summary of the content?

Who (created the content) questions

• Is it self-evident to your visitors who authored your content?
• Do pages carry a byline, where one might be expected?
• Do bylines lead to further information about the author or authors involved, giving background about them and the areas they write about?

If you're clearly indicating who created the content, you're likely aligned with the concepts of E-E-A-T and on a path to success.
