In this episode of Coffee Talk, we dive into the heated debate surrounding AI-generated content and its impact on search engine rankings. With Google's emphasis on quality over content origin, many SEO professionals remain skeptical. I explore data from 600,000 web pages, revealing that AI-assisted content is prevalent and not penalized by Google. Surprisingly, 86.5% of top-ranking pages incorporate some level of AI assistance. The findings show a minimal correlation between AI content and ranking positions, suggesting that AI doesn't inherently harm SEO. However, pages with less AI content tend to perform slightly better in top positions. At Theia Media, we believe in using AI as a collaborator, not a replacement, to enhance content quality. Join me as I discuss how blending AI with human insight can boost your content strategy without sacrificing quality or rankings.
