Episode notes
AI Overviews Still Depend On SEO
- Google AI Overviews build on traditional SEO signals and site quality rather than replacing them.
- SEO plus schema and authority still determine visibility in Google's AI responses.

- Use AI for research and briefs, then send the output to a human writer for final drafting and voice.
- Avoid publishing raw AI output; force human editing to reduce AI footprints and improve quality.

- AI-generated prose often shows a detectable footprint in sentence and paragraph regularity.
- Randomizing sentence lengths and paragraph structure helps break that footprint.
