How AI Can Help Google Love Your Content

Are you writing content for your customers, or are you writing for search engines?

You *should* be writing content that resonates with your customers, but you also need to make sure you’re doing whatever it takes for your content to rank. But why does writing for search engines—specifically Google—get a bad rap? Epic content needs to be seen. Ensuring that visibility is critical to your success.

Here are several ways* to start creating and optimizing content more intelligently:

1. Determine who is searching for the topic you’ll be writing about and what they’re looking to get from your content.
2. Determine the questions people ask about a topic to ensure your content is timely, relevant, and helpful.
3. Write an engaging title that is clear, concise, and actionable. 
4. Consider subtopics and other terms to improve rankings and hit on key pain points.
5. Mention the topic and subtopics to establish topical authority.
6. Link to internal pages to increase time spent on site and continue to build authority.
7. Link to external pages and tie back to subtopics.

During the session, Jeff Coyle, co-founder of AI-powered content platform MarketMuse, helps us understand how SEO, content strategy, and artificial intelligence all work together to make your content timely, relevant, and FOUND. 

Recent news stories and op-eds have said that Google will penalize websites and content written using artificial intelligence. Yes, if copy is used verbatim, if the output is nonsense, or if it isn’t factual or complete, search engines recognize that. 

However, AI can help at all stages of the content marketing lifecycle beyond just writing—including helping with researching, planning, briefing, editing, refreshing, and optimizing. AI can do much of the manual work for you, so you can focus on creating high-quality content your audience will love and search engines will reward.
