Yes, AI content can rank, and it can actually perform very well if it's done correctly. When I say "done correctly," I really mean doing proper keyword research first and taking the time to review and refine the article before publishing it. If I'm using AI, I'll usually start in Ahrefs' Keywords Explorer, enter a broad topic like roofing, landscaping, or HVAC, and filter for question-based keywords. From there, I'll look for questions with decent search volume and relatively low competition, then use AI to create an 800+ word SEO-friendly article around that topic. Like I said, though, you can't just copy and paste it; you have to guide the AI, fact-check it, and massage the content so it actually provides value.
