SEO Research Suite - The SEO and LLMO / GEO thought leading podcast - A podcast by Olaf Kopp

The first source is an excerpt from the Google Search Central documentation and describes in detail how Google evaluates helpful and reliable content. It provides checklists and guidelines for creating user-centered content and explains concepts such as E-E-A-T and the role of user signals in ranking. The second source, a blog post by Olaf Kopp, also analyzes Google's evaluation of “helpful content”, but argues that user signals, such as click-through rates and dwell time, are more important than purely content-related factors. Kopp emphasizes the limitations of checklists and stresses the importance of user feedback for Google's algorithms. Both sources deal with Google's ranking system and the importance of user-friendly, high-quality content, with different emphases. https://www.kopp-online-marketing.com/google-helpful-content
