Episode 325: Embracing the Experience of Google’s New EEAT Search Engine with Julia McCoy

Episode

What is Google’s new generative AI going to mean for you and your business? 

There are big happenings in the world of AI, none more so than Google’s recent I/O keynote, where they unveiled a whole new search model (pretty much). 

And so if you want to eat, you’re going to need to learn to EEAT. Extra emphasis on the first E. The E-E-A-T Google acronym stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. 

Google will no longer be prioritizing Authoritative articles on skydiving. Rather, if you want the high ranking, you’ll need to prove that you jumped out of the plane!

With 80% of the world’s internet traffic and $162 billion in revenue in 2022 from search alone, Google knows that it needs to drive traffic back to its publishers. 

And so, they’re rewarding content creators who combine their Expertise with actual Experience. 

This is good news for marketers, and great news for content creators worrying about the AI wolf at the door. 

Julia McCoy is reminding the TDM audience that having a presence, choosing a niche, and sharing lots of content within that niche matters more than ever. 

Host Mark de Grasse is throwing in some measured skepticism about whether or not Google will be swiping our content anyway and what will happen if their plan doesn’t work. 

All of this makes for engaging content on how we can be an E (expert) rather than a C (chatbot) in this AI-crazy world. 

Julia McCoy is the President of Content at Scale and is a bonafide AI Expert with added Experience. Content at Scale is the world’s fastest-growing AI writing platform for SEO marketers.
