Google AI SEO Fundamentals

Use this skill to keep AI-assisted content eligible for Google Search by making it helpful, reliable, accurate, and people-first. Treat AI as a production assistant, not a shortcut around editorial quality.

Source First

Read references/google-ai-content-guidance.md when the task needs Google-specific policy details, ecommerce AI-image/product-data notes, or a source-backed audit.

Workflow

1. Identify the content surface.

   • Name the page type, content type, and publication goal.
   • Distinguish AI-generated text, AI-assisted edits, AI-generated metadata, AI-generated images, and AI-generated structured data.

2. Apply the Google quality gates.

   • Keep the content useful to people before search systems.
   • Verify factual claims, product details, brands, dates, prices, availability, event names, and visual descriptions.
   • Remove generic filler, hallucinated specifics, keyword stuffing, and unsupported claims.
   • Avoid scaled content patterns that create many low-value pages to manipulate rankings.
