Content is King

E-E-A-T has become Google’s
mantra and it is permeating into
everything they do.

Helping them understand who is
writing a piece of content and why
they are an authority has become a
necessity vs. a nice to have.




Thinking about the SERP as a
whole and how much real estate
you take up vs. where your .com
ranks is a necessary to stay ahead.

looking for original content
that gives your brand’s
perspective on a topic.

Don’t regurgitate what others
are saying and use specific
differentiators in your content
like a data point or POV that is
unique to your brand.

Specific Content

Common Struggles with AI Writing Tools
The Trust Gap:
Is It Accurate?
You can’t always trust what the AI
is telling you.
Factual Inaccuracies: Stating
incorrect facts, dates or statistics.
“Hallucinations”: Inventing
non-existent sources, studies,
people or quotes.

Factual Inaccuracies: Stating

“Hallucinations”: Inventing
non-existent sources, studies,

The Creativity Deficit:
Is It Original?
AI content tends to feel bland,
uninspired, or like a copy of
everything else on the internet.
Generic & Repetitive Content:
Using clichés and unoriginal
phrasing
Homogenized Voice: Lacking a
unique personality or brand tone
Lack of Emotional Depth:
Failing to convey genuine nuance,
humor or empathy.

The Context Blind Spot:

Outdated Information: Its
knowledge doesn’t include
anything after its last training date.
Lack of Real-World Nuance: It
doesn’t understand timely events,
cultural trends, or the specific,
unspoken context of a situation.

SEO Still Matters:
Don’t Leave these
Best Practices Behind

Trim the fat from your site by reducing
crawl bloat, optimizing your XML
sitemaps and ensuring important pages
have internal links.

Improve governance processes to ensure
these best practices are incorporated
into your site automatically.


Think About Real Estate,



Resist the urge to skip over basic
optimization elements, like:
●Title tags
●URLs
●Meta Descriptions
●Heading Tags
●Anchor Text
●Canonicals






Don’t let SEO issues linger - fix your
broken links, reduce redirects,
improve page speed and check your
schema implementation.

As search becomes more
competitive, this is how we can
stand out


Don’t Disregard Traditional SEO Best Practices
Technical Health Still

Internal Linking &
