Avoiding AI Content Penalties: Google’s Guidelines vs. Reality

AI-generated content has become one of the most prominent trends in digital marketing today. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a role in the creation of content, mimicking human writing. These advancements has lead to questions regarding Google's guidelines, and AI content penalties.

Misinformation leads to fear. So let's get a few things clear off the bat. Firstly, digital marketers and even business owners are overemphasising the focus on whether the content is AI-generated or human written. The important factors to focus on is whether the content is high quality, engaging, and provides value.

Let's be honest, Google's algorithms are smarter and more sophisticated. They have the ability to evaluate content on quality signals, rather than where it came from. In addition to this, Google is delving into AI themselves. When you search online these days you are presented with AI Overviews before the organic results, along with AI driving its algorithms. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense for the search engine giant to penalise AI content completely.

Yes, over time, Google saw the potential of AI in content creation, changing its perspective from rejection to a balanced view.

User Value

While Google has changed its view on AI content, there is one focus that has not changed. That is to provide your audience with high quality and relevant content. This has remained as a top priority in all Google’s AI content decisions to date. Therefore, today, it doesn't matter if the content is created by AI or humans, it's about the value it provides your audience.

Content Quality

When you understand how Google assesses AI generated content, you can create high quality content, which avoiding AI content penalties:

Spam

Google's sophisticated algorithms play an important role in assessing AI content. These algorithms analyse exponential amounts of online content, looking for spam in AI generated text. This may include repeated phrases, keyword stuffing, and incoherent sentence structures.

Sentence Structure

Google also focuses on the semantic coherence of AI content, ensuring sentences flow logically and the content makes sense. In the event the content switches between unrelated topics without any connections, it could have a negative impact on your SEO efforts.

E-E-A-T

While Google hasn't banned AI content, it has added an additional E to its E-A-T principles. Now Google's algorithms focus on experience, expertise, authority, and trust when assessing content.

Conclusion

To put an end to AI content, Google prioritises quality, whether human or AI generated. Focusing on high quality, accurate, and relevant content that aligns with SEO best practices, incorporating E-E-A-T to boost click through rates, user experience, and ranking.
