Google’s E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) has become essential for legal websites. Because legal queries are “Your Money, Your Life” topics, Google demands higher credibility signals.
How Law Firms Can Improve E-E-A-T
- Show Real-World Experience: Highlight years of practice, case types handled, and attorney specializations.
- Author-Centric Content: All blog articles should have attorney bylines, credentials, and author bios.
- Case Studies & Client Results: Present outcomes ethically, showing patterns of success.
- External Validation: Include social proof—reviews, media mentions, court recognitions, and bar associations.
- Cite Reliable Sources: Government links, statutes, legal guidelines, and reputable medical sources (for PI lawyers).
- Website Trust Factors: Secure domain (HTTPS), clear contact info, attorney photos, and transparent policies.
Why E-E-A-T Matters for Lawyers
- Higher rankings for competitive keywords.
- Increased credibility in Google’s eyes and in users’.
- Better conversion rates as clients feel safer choosing you.
- Greater resistance against algorithm updates
