Questions about the Author & E-E-A-T Checker
- What is E-E-A-T?

- What author markup should an article have?
- Article markup whose author has a clean name, a url pointing to the author's page and sameAs links to their profiles. The author page should load, show a real bio and carry Person markup.
- Does it judge the author's expertise?
- No. It checks that the signals are present and consistent, not whether the author is an expert.
- How much does the Author & E-E-A-T Checker cost?
- 8 credits per run, shown before the run starts. An AI agent can run the same tool over the REST API or MCP with a workspace API key.
