SEO Best Practices for AI-Generated Content

The AI SEO Myth

There's a common misconception that search engines penalize AI-generated content. The reality is simpler: search engines penalize bad content, regardless of how it was created.

Google's guidelines focus on:

• Helpful, people-first content
• Demonstrated expertise
• Trustworthy information
• Good user experience

Content Factory generates content that meets all these criteria through research-backed writing and quality checks.

Keyword Strategy

Effective keyword strategy for AI content starts before generation:

Primary Keywords

• One main keyword per article
• Include in title, first paragraph, and H2s
• Natural density of 1-2%

Secondary Keywords

• 3-5 related terms
• Sprinkle throughout content
• Use in subheadings where natural

Long-tail Opportunities

• Target specific queries
• Answer questions directly
• Capture featured snippets

Content Structure

Search engines love well-structured content:

• Clear hierarchy: H1 → H2 → H3
• Scannable format: Short paragraphs, bullet points
• Internal links: Connect to related content
• External links: Cite authoritative sources

Content Factory automatically structures content with SEO in mind, but you can customize the format in your project settings.

Technical SEO

Don't forget the technical elements:

• Meta titles: Compelling, keyword-rich, under 60 characters
• Meta descriptions: Clear value prop, under 160 characters
• Schema markup: Article schema for rich results
• Image alt text: Descriptive, keyword-relevant

All of these are automatically generated by Content Factory and can be customized before publishing.
