An editorial system with AI inside it, not a text generator. First-party research, verification before publishing, and upkeep of what you already have.
Generating a hundred articles with a model is trivial and worth nothing. Google has been acting against mass-produced content with no added value since 2024, and assistants don’t cite what adds nothing either. The usual result of an operation like that is a bigger site, crawled worse, with less traffic than before.
The real bottleneck was never the writing. It was having something to say, checking it, and keeping it current. That is where AI genuinely helps, and where an editorial process is needed for it to help.
We don’t mass-produce near-identical pages to cover query variants. We have seen it fail, and we have seen it fail on this very site: a set of pages like that, published years ago, ended up diluting the crawling of the whole domain. We retired them.
We also don’t sign AI-written content as a person when the format implies real authorship, and we don’t publish customer testimonials nobody gave.
Organic traffic and conversions on the pages worked on, rankings for the target queries, pages cited by AI assistants, and cost per published piece against the previous process. We always compare against the same period last year, not against last month.
We have spent years producing content in four languages for sectors where a factual error is expensive. That is why the process has so many checks: they aren’t bureaucracy, they are scars.
And we use AI across the whole flow, by name: Claude and GPT for research, drafting and adaptation, and people to decide what gets said, check it, and answer for it.
