ACT-07 · Act Maneuver

How do I make AI-drafted content sound like my brand?

Use AI for structure and a first draft, then edit it against a written voice sheet and check every fact before it goes live. Google says AI can help with research and structure, but that content with no added value can break its spam policy. A voice sheet and a human pass keep the draft yours.

Free to read, no signup. Nova edits drafts against your voice sheet, for your approval.

What Google says about AI-drafted content

Straight from Google's documentation. The same discipline applies whichever engine reads the page.

AI can help, with review

Google says generative AI can help with researching a topic and adding structure to original content, and advises fact-checking and reviewing AI output before publishing, including titles and descriptions.

Scaled content with no value is spam

Using AI to produce many pages that add no value for users may violate Google's spam policy on scaled content abuse, however the content was made.

Effort and originality count

Google judges main content on effort, originality and accuracy, and says automated text without human oversight shows little effort. It also suggests explaining how content was made.

Five steps to an on-voice draft

Do it by hand with these steps, or hand the whole thing to Nova.

  1. Write a voice sheet

    Capture tone, sentence length, words you use and words you never use, plus three real examples of your writing at its best.

    Nova: drafts a voice sheet from your site and asks you to confirm it.

  2. Draft with AI for structure

    Use AI for outline and first draft. Give it the voice sheet, your facts and the question the page answers.

    Nova: drafts from your facts and voice sheet, not from guesses.

  3. Check every fact

    Verify names, numbers, prices and claims against a source. Remove anything you cannot back up.

    Nova: flags claims that do not match your brand facts.

  4. Cut filler and add your own

    Remove generic lines, repeated phrases and empty openers. Add a real example, number or opinion only you can give.

    Nova: marks generic phrasing and suggests where your own detail goes.

  5. Add authorship and publish

    Add a real author, and where readers would wonder, a line about how the content was made. Then publish and recheck.

    Nova: queues the edit for your approval. Nothing is published for you.
