The most important item this week
How to Write AI Content That Ranks in Google & AI Search
The practical consequence is that the question stops being whether a machine touched the draft and becomes whether the finished page carries something retrievable and attributable. A brand chasing citations gets no protection from disclosure or from avoiding AI entirely, and no penalty for using it: what determines whether a passage gets pulled into an AI answer is structure a model can quote cleanly, claims with sources attached, and material that exists nowhere else, such as your own measurements, your own customers, and your own failures. The reported pattern of early indexing followed by decay a few months later is the part worth planning around, because it means a page that ranks in its first weeks is not yet evidence that the approach works, and a content programme judged on that first window will keep producing pages that quietly disappear.
