The Human Factor in AI-Assisted SEO Content [Lightning Talk ⚡ Google Search Central Live Deep Dive Europe 2026 - Barcelona]

This deck is based on my lightning talk at Google Search Central Live Deep Dive 2026.

It explores how human experience, context and judgment can improve AI-assisted SEO content, from choosing the right questions to checking facts and helping people make decisions.

Through a client case involving a twin stroller, I share how my experience as a father of twin girls helped shape the content brief around real buying questions: will it fit in the lift, is there room in the car boot, and how does it fold for travel?

The talk introduces a four-step framework: Context, Draft, Elevate and Measure. It shows how teams can combine customer knowledge and verified product information with AI, then evaluate the content through organic search traffic, conversion rate and AI referral traffic.

A question to take back to your team: what do you know that your AI brief is missing?

Presented by Juan Seguí, CEO of acceseo, a digital agency based in Spain.
