AI features and your website
Google says the same crawlability, indexability and people-first content foundations apply to AI Overviews and AI Mode; no special AI schema is required. - SEO 101
Google Search Essentials
Technical requirements, spam policies and people-first practices define the eligibility floor; none guarantees ranking. - SEO 101
SEO Starter Guide
Good SEO makes content understandable to search engines and useful to people through clear structure, descriptive language and discoverable links. - SEO 101
How Google Search works
Crawling, indexing and serving are separate stages; a page can succeed at one and fail at the next. - SEO 101
Creating helpful, reliable, people-first content
Content should serve an existing audience and demonstrate first-hand purpose, not exist mainly to capture search demand at scale. - SEO 101
Spam policies for Google web search
Scaled content, cloaking, doorway pages, expired-domain abuse and reputation abuse are policy boundaries, not aggressive versions of ordinary optimization. - SEO 101
JavaScript SEO basics
Google can render JavaScript, but server-visible HTML, stable links and sensible status behavior remain the safest foundation. - SEO 101
Search Quality Rater Guidelines
Quality raters do not directly rank pages, but their guidelines show the human quality concepts Google's evaluators are trained to assess.
