clients keep asking if our blog posts would pass an ai detector

They aren't reliable. Different detectors give the same text wildly different scores, and they regularly flag writing that's entirely human, especially clear, structured, by-the-book stuff, which is what good blog content looks like. What we tell clients: Google's stated position is about whether content is helpful and original, not how it was produced, and the detector score isn't a measure of either. Then show the process. Our writers keep drafts in Google Docs, so the version history shows a human writing and editing over hours. That ends the conversation faster than any score. If a client insists on a number anyway, agree one detector up front so you're not chasing a different tool every month.
