Include expert author bylines, credible source citations, and first-hand experience signals in content.

Content relevance signals are also described as depending on demonstrating genuine expertise rather than thin content.

Anti-pattern

Anonymous or generic author attribution; no citations for claims; content that reads as marketing rather than expertise.
