Last week at the Google Search Central Live Toronto event, a series of slides started circulating in the SEO community. One in particular stood out: the difference between commodity content and non-commodity content. This is a practical breakdown of that idea, what it means for your site, and how to apply it without losing rankings for keywords. I also share a simple ChatGPT prompt you can use to create titles that combine keyword targeting with real, experience-driven angles that people actually want to click. What you'll learn in this episode: - The difference between commodity content and non-commodity content - How generic \"tips\" content struggles to rank and convert - How to keep strong keyword relevance while making your content more specific - A simple prompt you can use with ChatGPT to generate better titles - When non-commodity content works best (top-of-funnel vs. bottom-of-funnel) - How to structure titles so they match search intent and improve click-through rate - How scaled, templated content can lead to ranking drops or manual actions - What Google actually says about AI-generated content and when it becomes a problem - Why you don't need to target every keyword variation or conversational query - Practical advice on SERP comparison and keyword selection Key takeaway: You still need keywords.

Content that is specific, experience-based, and difficult to replicate performs better - especially when combined with clear keyword targeting. ⭐️ The Commodity vs Non Commodity slide: https://x…","meta_description":"E1028: Breaking down what Google is rewarding right now when it comes to SEO - and how so much \"standard\" content isn't working.
