Inappropriate content: beware of perception by LLMs
Description
Absence of inappropriate content involves avoiding material that is offensive, misleading, dangerous, or contrary to platform guidelines. This includes comment moderation, fact-checking, compliance with community standards, and implementing reporting mechanisms.
A clean content environment builds credibility and trust with users and search engines.
Why is this important for ai search?
LLMs are trained to avoid the spread of problematic content and prioritize reliable and safe sources. A site free of inappropriate content improves its algorithmic reputation and its likelihood of being selected as a reference source. The models incorporate filtering mechanisms that can penalize or exclude sources associated with problematic content, making editorial quality crucial for AI visibility.

- Warning of inappropriate terms
- Also check contributions, opinions, or comments
- Check content inserted via iframes or embeds
1. Check for inappropriate terms
Search engines, and particularly generative AI engines, are increasingly sophisticated in detecting and classifying content. The presence of inappropriate terms (related to adult content, unregulated gambling, violence, hate, etc.) can lead to penalties, declassification, or even complete blocking of indexing by these engines. For GEO, clean content that complies with guidelines is essential to be considered a reliable and relevant source.
It is advisable to check that key pages do not contain inappropriate keywords and expressions. This includes the main content of pages, titles, meta descriptions, and any other textual elements.
2. Reviewing publicly visible user contributions, reviews, or comments
User-generated content (UGC) is a source of wealth for many sites, but it also represents a major vulnerability for inappropriate content. Comments, reviews, forums, or any other form of public contribution may contain material that violates search engine guidelines or your site's policies.
It is recommended that you implement robust moderation systems for all UGC. This may include pre-moderation (before publication), post-moderation (after publication with user reporting), and the use of automated filters. Ensure that inappropriate content is quickly identified and removed or hidden.
3. Checking Content Inserted via iframes or Embeds
Embedding external content via iframes or embeds can introduce risks of inappropriate content. Even if the content is not hosted directly on your server, its presence on your page can be associated with your site by search engines, impacting your reputation and ranking.
It's best to be vigilant about the sources of the external content you integrate. Favor reliable and reputable sources.
