Hidden text written for AI is spam under Google's rules
Google's spam policies list hidden text and links, such as text the same color as the background or placed off screen, as a violation. Text hidden on a page to influence AI answers falls under the same rule and can harm the site.
Key facts
| Policy | hidden text and link abuse |
|---|---|
| Examples | same-color text, text off screen, tiny text |
| Risk | lower ranking or removal from results |
What to do
Ask any agency to show every change it makes on your pages; nothing should be invisible to your visitors.
