Why does my AI-generated content rank poorly?
Because it’s obvious it was written by a machine.
Remove vague phrases like “Nowadays, content is king” or “Businesses strive to…”. These add zero value. Instead, open with a unique observation, real metric, or blunt insight from your own data. Google wants experience — not platitudes.
How do I fix AI content with zero traffic?
Start with intent.
Run your article through Google Search Console and check which queries it’s not matching. Rewrite H1 and H2 to mirror real questions. Use keyword variations from “People also ask”. AI often writes about the topic, but not for the query. That kills rankings.
How do I make AI content sound less robotic?
Cut all generic openers and fake transitions.
Replace “This article will explore…” with “Here’s what most guides miss”. Add a first-person interjection every 300–400 words — even something as simple as “In our case…” or “I’ve tested this with clients”. One sharp voice is better than 10 perfect sentences.
What’s the fastest way to de-template AI content?
Edit only 20% — but the right 20%.
Focus on intros, subheadings, transitions, and conclusions. That’s where templates scream the loudest. Replace “Conclusion” with “What to do next” or “Skip this if…”. Make each section title a search query, not a chapter name.
How to rewrite AI-generated FAQs for real people?
Steal from your inbox.
FAQs should mirror how customers actually ask — including typos, emotion, and hesitation.
❌ “What is dynamic pricing?”
✅ “Why does my price change every time I refresh the page?”
Use your support tickets, reviews, Reddit, forums. AI can’t fake frustration. You can.
How do I optimise AI content for featured snippets?
Use the Q-A-A format.
Q: H2 in the form of a question
A: Direct 40–55 word answer in natural language
A: List, table, or step-by-step after that
No hedging. No intro waffle. Snippets love brutal clarity.
How do I add expertise to generic AI content?
Drop in real names and numbers.
AI says: “Experts recommend updating content regularly.”
You say: “Brian Dean’s 2023 test showed a 38% boost after updating 50 articles.”
Link to the study. Mention a tool you actually use. Real-world credibility beats word count.
How to make AI-written content easier to read on mobile?
Break the damn walls of text.
No paragraph over 3 lines. Every section gets a microheadline. Kill all filler. Use bullets when listing. Assume your reader is one thumb away from closing the tab.
How to know if your AI content needs rewriting?
If you can copy-paste a paragraph into ChatGPT and it rewrites it identically — you’re in trouble.
Run the “echo test”: feed a chunk into the same model. If the output mirrors the original too closely, rewrite manually. Original tone is the new SEO.
✅ Final sanity check: The “Human Filter”
Before publishing, ask:
Would this piss off, bore, or impress a real human?
If it’s the first two — rewrite.
If you’re unsure — read it out loud. If it sounds like a LinkedIn bro or a 2010 textbook, you’ve still got AI stink on it.
