    <summary>E-E-A-T is the single most actionable SEO lever an indie SaaS founder has — and most founders have never actually read what it requires.

The [TrustGrowth SEO blog for indie SaaS founders](https://trustgrowth.ai/blog) covers this framework in depth because it's the foundation everything else rests on.</summary>
