YMYL – your money or your life Content that has the ability to influence a major decision that relates to an individual’s money or life
EEAT – Experience // Expertise // Authoritativeness // Trustworthiness This represents search quality guidelines in order to help Google determine the content’s reliability and quality.
The time has come to appraise the authority of an individual, Google has always centred itself as a source for reliable information and with the influx of ‘fake news’ circulating the web, this ‘Helpful Content’ update targeted websites with a large amount of unsatisfying or unhelpful content.
Google states that;

Meaning that creators should focus on people-first content rather than creating for SERPs, the EEAT guidelines are the interpreter of authority for both websites as a whole, and individuals.
