Most store blogs publish thin, brand-voice-only posts that never rank. The fix is publishing keyword-targeted, product-aware posts at a cadence Google can index and trust.

About this page
This is the brand's own landing page — we make Obsess AI and we're writing about our app's fit for health & wellness stores. Weigh the recommendations with that in mind. We've tried to be honest about where AI works well for this category and where it still needs human review.
Health and wellness is the highest-stakes EEAT category for AI content. Almost every meaningful content piece in this category touches on health claims, which Google evaluates against YMYL criteria with much stricter standards.
Regulatory and YMYL considerations
Health and wellness is core YMYL. Google's Search Quality Rater Guidelines explicitly require demonstrable expertise for ranking health-related content. Claims about treating, curing, preventing, or alleviating any condition cross from "cosmetic" into FDA drug regulation territory. The FTC has been actively enforcing against unverifiable wellness claims since 2022. For supplements: structure-function claims ("supports immune health") need to be substantiated and carry a Supplement Facts panel disclosure. For any product making health claims: human expert review is non-negotiable, and the credentials of the reviewing expert should be visible to the reader.
For supporting content (ingredient explainers from established sources, lifestyle adjacent content like exercise tips or sleep hygiene), AI as a drafting tool works with mandatory expert review. For anything claiming health outcomes — efficacy, treatment, prevention — AI is not the right tool. The category needs named human expertise driving the content.
FDA distinguishes between cosmetic claims (how a product affects appearance) and drug claims (how it affects the body's structure or function). The line is significant: drug claims subject the product to drug regulation. Supplement claims fall under DSHEA — structure-function claims are allowed with the disclaimer "These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."
Stricter than other categories. Google's quality raters are specifically instructed to demote wellness content that lacks demonstrated expertise. Named expert authorship (with credentials visible), citations to peer-reviewed sources, and reviewed-by-clinician markers significantly outperform anonymous or AI-generated wellness content.
FTC requires substantiation. Testimonials describing outcomes ("I lost 20 pounds") need to either be representative of typical results or include a clear disclaimer that they're not typical. Influencer disclosure also needs to be clear and conspicuous — not buried in a long caption.
Educational content (general nutrition information from established sources, exercise basics, sleep hygiene) is possible without clinical staff if presented as general information rather than personalized health advice. Anything making specific claims about outcomes, treating conditions, or recommending dosages needs clinical review. The disclaimer "consult your doctor before starting" doesn't substitute for accurate underlying content.
