We've uncovered disturbing data about AI-generated content and its devastating impact on treatment center websites.
What we found will change how you approach content creation.
The Shocking Reality
Here's what we discovered from a study that analyzed traffic data across 68 websites over a 12-month period:
🚨 AI-generated content receives 80% less traffic than human-written articles
🚨 Google is actively refusing to index AI content
🚨 Treatment centers are losing thousands of potential admits
A Real-World Warning
Let me share a recent example that might sound familiar:
We took over SEO for a treatment center that had invested heavily in AI content. They had published over 600 AI-generated articles, thinking they were staying ahead of the curve.
The result?
Google refused to index their content. Despite multiple crawls over several months, these articles remained invisible to potential clients seeking help.
Why? Our analysis shows Google has implemented strict limits on AI content per domain. Once a website crosses this threshold, new content stops getting indexed entirely.
The Numbers Don't Lie
The comprehensive study revealed:
Human-written content averages 338 visitors per post by Month 12
AI-generated content plateaus at 61 visitors per post
The traffic gap continues to widen month over month
Human content shows consistent growth while AI content stagnates
Why This Matters for Your Center
Think about what this means:
Every AI article you publish could be damaging your site's credibility
Your valuable treatment information isn't reaching people who need help
Your competitors with human-written content are capturing your potential clients
