Your authority profile helps AI platforms understand why they should trust and recommend your brand. It's based on Google's E-E-A-T framework, which AI platforms also use to evaluate content quality.
What is E-E-A-T?
E-E-A-T stands for:
Experience. Have you actually done the thing you're talking about? First-hand experience matters.
Expertise. Do you have deep knowledge in your field? Qualifications, training, and demonstrated skill count.
Authoritativeness. Are you recognized as a leader in your space? Awards, press coverage, and industry recognition help.
Trustworthiness. Can people rely on your information? Accuracy, transparency, and reputation all play a role.
AI platforms use these signals to decide which brands and sources to recommend. A strong authority profile gives you an edge.
What to add to your authority profile
Credentials and certifications
List any professional certifications, licenses, or qualifications your team holds. These prove your expertise is legitimate.
Awards and recognition
Include industry awards, rankings, or other forms of recognition. These signal that others in your field consider you authoritative.
Press mentions
Add links to articles, interviews, or media coverage about your brand. Third-party mentions are strong trust signals.
Author bios
Add bios for the people who create your content. Include their background, qualifications, and areas of expertise. AI platforms look at who wrote the content, not just what it says.
