Google's AI content policy doesn't care if you used ChatGPT or wrote every word yourself, but your traffic might be dipping without you doing anything wrong.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what Google's AI content policy actually says (not what the internet is guessing), why Anthropic's new watermarking on Claude content may not change the rules, and why your rankings can hold steady while your clicks quietly drop. I'll walk through the real data on AI overviews and show you how I use AI generated content in client work without setting off Google's spam flags.

Here's what you'll hear:

  • What Google's AI content policy says about using AI tools on your site 
  • What are Google AI overviews, and how to tell if they're eating your click through rate instead of your rankings
  • What Anthropic's new Claude watermark does and doesn't prove about your content
  • Why one client's flat traffic graph was hiding a smarter, more diversified AI SEO strategy
  • How I actually use AI content and SEO together in client work so it still ranks
