CMP online SEO content writing course for individuals, freelancers and organisations CPD staff training.Our online copywriting course learners often ask us if Google penalises web copy that is written by AI.

The answer is: No. But our copywriting course explains that it will:

  • Penalise sites that publish content that is flawed, inappropriate or unoriginal, whether written by people or AI.
  • Reward sites that provide valuable, relevant and useful content, whether written by a human or AI.

So, quality matters. If content is badly written, contains grammatical errors or lacks relevance to a user’s search intent, it may not perform well in search engine rankings, no matter who wrote it.

And Google dislikes spammy or manipulative tactics and keyword stuffing.

So, a good content writer should review and edit AI-generated copy, so that it:

  • Aligns with Google’s guidelines on SEO best practices.
  • Is relevant to the target audience.
  • Provides relevant and helpful information.

Also, keep abreast of Google’s guidelines regarding AI-generated content to ensure compliance.
