Build a website that Google can read and understand:

Now Google’s algorithm has these ‘search bots’ meaning pieces of automated software that visit (or ‘crawl’) your web page. If they deem it fit and relevant, they add those ‘crawable’ pages to Google’s index and catalogs them.

Each time a person searches something on the Google search engine, the algorithm works through its catalogue and displays it what it thinks are the most relevant results based on the keywords in order of relevancy.

OptinMonster suggests the following tips to make it easy for Google bots to crawl your web page:

• A sitemap that lists all your pages

Though having ‘https’ isn’t a listed factor to determine whether your page will be catalogued or not, experts agree that it is a great addition to enhance your rankings.

E-A-T stands for (we told you we love acronyms) expertise, authority, and trustworthiness.  This is one of Google’s most stressed upon KPI for webpage rankings. This ranking criterion is part of Google drive to make sure its users get access to the most reliable information, especially for Your Money or Your Life (YMYL). YMYL typically includes health pages, financial advisories and or anything such that would impact your health, wealth or state of mind.

As part of this criterion, Google relies not only on your webpage’s reliability but also the creator’s reputation and trustworthiness.

• Expertise: Does the author of a piece of content have the requisite skills and knowledge in their field?
• Authority: Is this the best source to answer the searcher’s question, or is there another “go-to” person who would be a better source?
• Trustworthiness: Does the author provide an honest, unbiased presentation of the topic in their content?

That being said, its equally important to guard your online reputation as it is in real life.
