@Nick_zv_: Your AI SEO content is going t...

Your AI SEO content is going to get you penalized.

Not because it's AI…

But because it SUCKS.

Here's my 11-step AI SEO content checklist that actually works.

(Lessons from ranking 100s of AI-generated posts) 🧵

1/ Let's get one thing straight:

Google doesn't hate AI content.

Google hates LOW-QUALITY content.

And 99% of AI content is exactly that:

- Generic fluff
- Zero original insights
- Copied structure from competitors
- No screenshots or other visuals

Here's how to fix it 👇

2/ Step 1: Stop Using Lazy Prompts

❌ "Write a 2000-word article about email marketing"
❌ "Create an SEO blog post on link building"

These prompts = garbage output.

Instead, do this:

- Create a detailed outline FIRST
- Generate section by section
- Include specific examples YOU provide
- Add your brand voice guidelines

3/ Step 2: Feed AI Real Context

Before you write anything:

- Upload your best-performing content
- Add competitor articles
- Include industry research papers
- Share customer feedback
- Add your case studies

Now AI has actual substance to work with.

Not generic web knowledge

4/ Step 3: Kill the AI Intro

Dead giveaways that scream "AI WROTE THIS":

❌ "In today's fast-paced digital landscape..."
❌ "Are you struggling to get results with..."
❌ "Email marketing has become increasingly important..."

Use the PAS formula instead:

5/ PAS Formula That Works:

Problem: "Your AI content ranks for 2 weeks, then disappears"

Agitate: "While you're celebrating that page 3 ranking, Google's already planning to bury you on page 50"

Solution: "Here's how to create AI content that stays ranked for months..."

Keep it under 150 words total.

6/ Step 4: Add Proof Points Everywhere

For EVERY claim you make, add:

- Real screenshots
- Specific metrics
- Tool names
- Exact costs
- Step-by-step processes
- Client examples (with permission)

Raw AI content lacks proof.

That's YOUR job to add.

7/ Step 5: Make It Scannable

Transform AI walls of text into:

- 2-3 sentence paragraphs
- Bullet points for lists
- Clear subheadings every 300 words
- Content boxes for key takeaways
- Custom graphics (not stock photos)
- Real screenshots

Remember: readers skim. Make it easy

8/ Step 6: Add YOUR Voice

AI sounds robotic because it IS robotic.

Here's how to humanize it:

- Share your failures
- Include controversial opinions
- Tell real stories
- Challenge industry norms
- Add personality
- Use casual language

No one connects with robot content.

9/ Step 7: The AI Editing Checklist

Before you hit publish:

✓ Kill generic intros
✓ Replace vague claims with specific data
✓ Add YOUR examples
✓ Insert real screenshots
✓ Include current pricing
✓ Add step-by-step guides
✓ Cut all fluff
✓ Fix robotic transitions

10/ Step 8: Use Unique Data

This is what separates good AI content from great:

- Run original surveys
- Share your process data
- Include client results
- Add industry benchmarks
- Create custom charts
- Show real costs

11/ Step 9: Structure for Featured Snippets

For every section, ask yourself:

"Could Google pull this for a featured snippet?"

If no, rewrite it:

- Clear definitions (under 50 words)
- Numbered steps (3-7 steps)
- Comparison tables
- Direct answers to questions

12/ Step 10: Add Expert Insights

Go on HARO or Featured and source expert opinions or insights on your topic.

Sprinkle these throughout your cornerstone posts.

13/ Step 11: The Internal Linking System

AI won't do this automatically:

- Link to 5-10 relevant posts
- Use keyword-rich anchor text
- Connect topic clusters
- Link to money pages
- Update old posts to link to new content

Do this manually every time.
