    YMYL

    Your Money or Your Life

    Content Google holds to a higher standard.

    In plain English

    Google's designation for content that could affect health, finance, safety, or wellbeing. Such pages face stricter E-E-A-T scrutiny.

    Why it matters now

    B2B tech advisory sits adjacent to YMYL — buyers make €-millions decisions. Demonstrating author authority matters more here than in lifestyle content.

    How it shows up in practice

    1. 01

      Author bios with verifiable credentials.

    2. 02

      Cite primary sources, not aggregators.

    3. 03

      Keep legal / compliance pages meticulously up to date.

    From vocabulary to strategy
