FOUNDATION 05 / EXPERIENCE & TRUST
Experience and trust on contractor websitesMake your experience easy to see.
A polished layout can earn attention. Accurate information and evidence help someone decide whether to trust the business behind it.
Show the work behind the words
Use your own project photos and explain your actual role. Where relevant, publish verifiable licenses or credentials with the correct scope and jurisdiction. Do not use stock headshots or invented author bios to imply expertise that has not been established.
Tell readers who is responsible
Give useful context about the person or business responsible for technical guidance. Cite reliable sources for claims that need support. Health, financial, legal, and other consequential topics deserve particular care and appropriate qualified review. E-E-A-T is a quality framework, not a single score you can install.
Make the next step feel clear
Keep your phone number, email, service information, and expectations easy to find. Label illustrative concepts as concepts. If your form opens an email application rather than sending a message directly, say that before someone uses it. Clarity is part of trust.
Read behavior in context
Use engagement and task completion to find confusing experiences. A quick visit may be successful if someone finds a phone number and calls. A long visit can also mean someone is lost. Do not treat bounce rate alone as a direct measure of quality or a guaranteed ranking lever.
One useful action.
Ask someone unfamiliar with your business to identify what you do, where you work, and how to contact you in under a minute.
