Omg as a freelance content writer who's been doing this a hot minute (since 2008), $2500 a month for content is WILD. (Or you're pumping out way more content than you need every month.)
For clients' sites I manage, I've seen their traffic get absolutely throttled because they started using AI-generated content to save money. These are my clients with micro sites, though, and I don't have back-end info on larger clients' sites since I just write and send for them. It could be different for them.
I'd be happy to check out the generator and review it from a professional writer's perspective.
Indeed a full-time content writer in the US costs a company ~$2,500, producing roughly an article per day (on the good days) - is this accurate according to your experience?
Super interesting to hear that the traffic got throttled - we have been seen them grow consistently (check out the screenshots of customers in getaiblogarticles.com).
Would love to have you review our tool, can you create an account in getaiblogarticles.com and try it out? We have free credits for new users :)
Oh an article every day? Yeah, to be quite honest, even if we're only including M-F, I'd charge more, even at my entry-level, discount rate lol. You shouldn't need an article every day if you're writing high-quality, in-depth, SEO-rich articles, though.
Nothing bad would happen if you do publish that many, as long as they're all still hitting high standards. I'd rather see someone publish 2-3 high-quality articles a week that hit the mark every time rather than 5-7 mediocre articles with maybe 1-2 great ones thrown in.
The ones getting absolutely throttled are people who haven't been with me for a while (or they're through the marketing agency I freelance with), so they have lots of errors on their site and they don't publish high-quality content (or know what that is on an SEO level). They're also extremely niche sites, typically solo personal development coaches and energy workers. With the agency, my hands are kinda tied since I have to follow their protocols, though they've started taking some of my suggestions lately. :)

@cat super response, thanks for this!
