It added many new mentions of social media platforms, influencers, and how content can take different forms, such as video, UGC, and social media posts.<\/p>\n<p>In this version, Google also takes a granular approach in answering many common questions about how E-E-A-T works and how much it matters for different topics. Google spells out what content should be considered harmful and whether everyday experience is sufficient to produce trustworthy content for the topic at hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are many more changes than what is outlined below. <\/p>\n<p>All SEOs should take time to read through Google\u2019s new guidelines, as they serve as a representation of where Google wants its algorithms to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\"\/>\n<p><!-- START INLINE FORM --><\/p>\n<div class=\"nl-inline-form border py-2 px-1 my-2\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-4 pe-md-0 pb-2 pb-lg-0\">\n<p class=\"inline-form-text text-center mb-0\">Get the daily newsletter search marketers rely on.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END INLINE FORM --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-most-significant-changes-to-the-qrg\">The most significant changes to the QRG<\/h2>\n<p>Below are some of the most significant changes to the Search Quality Guidelines in December 2022, broken down by section.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-understanding-the-website-section-2-5\">Understanding the Website &#8211; Section 2.5\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Google updated its guidelines around identifying who operates a website. In the new QRG, Google added the following new guidance:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cStart by finding out who is responsible for the website and who created the content on the page&#8230; Then, look for information about the website and\/or content creators on the website itself.\u201d (page 15)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This addition implies that it\u2019s important to know who actually owns and operates the website, even if that relationship is not directly clear on the site.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Google also began to refer to the reputation of the \u201cwebsite and\/or content creators\u201d instead of just the website, indicating that the reputation of the people contributing content to the website should also factor into consideration when evaluating that website.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-finding-who-is-responsible-for-the-website-and-who-created-the-content-on-the-page-section-2-5-2\">Finding Who is Responsible for the Website and Who Created the Content on the Page &#8211; Section 2.5.2<\/h3>\n<p>When identifying who is responsible for a website, Google states it should be clear who owns the website. <\/p>\n<p>In the previous version of the QRG, Google asked raters to look for which \u201cindividual, company, business, foundation, etc.\u201d is responsible for the site. <\/p>\n<p>In this version, Google replaced \u201cfoundation\u201d with \u201corganization\u201d and \u201cgovernment agency.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Google also added:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201c&#8230;for pages on websites such as forums and social media platforms, people may post content using an alias or username in order to avoid sharing personally identifiable information online.
