YMYL (Your Money or Your Life)

Topics that can affect people's health, money or safety, which search engines hold to a higher standard.

Medical, legal and financial pages are YMYL. Google says its systems give extra weight to trustworthy content on these topics and that it should match established expert consensus. Clinics and firms should show who wrote or reviewed a page, cite authoritative sources and avoid promising outcomes.
