In this enthralling episode of our podcast, "Decoding AI Content: Myth or Reality in the SEO Landscape," Mark A Preston teams up with the insightful Lily Ray to dissect the burgeoning debate on AI-generated content and its place in the world of SEO. They embark on a deep dive into the nuances of content creation, particularly the role of AI as a tool in the modern SEO toolkit.
Lily, with her extensive experience, brings to light the common misconception within the industry: that more content equals better SEO performance. She argues that while AI has its place in streamlining processes, relying on it solely for content creation is a misstep. She emphasises the increasing stringency of Google’s indexing criteria and its evolving approach to handling the vast amounts of content produced daily.
The conversation then shifts to the environmental impact of extensive crawling, inspired by insights from Yoast, known for the WordPress plugin. They explore the often-overlooked aspect of how constant digital crawling and content generation can have real-world consequences.
The pair confront the challenging reality faced by many companies in the aftermath of Google's helpful content update. They discuss the hard truth that not all content, even if it looks good to its creator, meets the high-quality standards required to rank in the top search results. Lily stresses the importance of understanding that AI should not be the primary creator of content, especially when aiming for top-tier SEO performance.
