How Proclaimer Benefits SEO

Google has progressively updated its ranking algorithm since it was first founded in 1998 to favour websites that provide the best possible user experience. In 2025, transparency, trustworthiness, and content quality are key in retaining credibility with users as well as search engines.

Generative AI has posed new challenges for website owners. As the amount of AI-generated and AI-assisted content increases, getting honest and transparent information into users’ hands is paramount. Studies highlight the rising demand for authenticity:

  • Transparency Drives Trust: A 2023 survey by Pew Research Center shows that 82% of respondents believe companies should disclose that they use AI to generate content on their websites
  • Influence on Buying Decisions: A recent McKinsey Digital Report (2024) suggests that 68% of consumers would be less likely to buy from brands that do not inform consumers of when AI was used in communications
  • Global Regulatory Push: Regulations, including the EU’s AI Act, are emerging that could soon require clear labelling of AI-generated content in large parts of the global market
  • 74% of consumers feel that brands should disclose whether they use AI-generated content (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising, 2023)

Why Transparency Is More Important Than Ever

For example, Google’s own guidelines — E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) values — highlight clear, credible content. Websites that do not adhere to these standards are in danger of losing user trust and rankings. Google does not penalise AI-generated content per se, but it does reward relevance, usefulness, and trustworthiness (whether human-, AI- or both-created).

That’s where Proclaimer comes in.
