Sharing & publication policy

Effective: 17 June 2025

CONTENT,  LIVE-STREAMING AND DEMONSTRATIONS

To mitigate the possible risks of AI-generated content, we have set the following policy on permitted sharing.

Posting your own AI-generated, user-generated or completions to social media is generally permissible, as is live-streaming your usage or demonstrating our products to groups of people. Please adhere to the following:

• Manually review each generation before sharing or while streaming.
• Attribute the content to your name or your company.
• Indicate that the content is AI-generated in a way no user could reasonably miss or misunderstand.
• Do not share content that violates our Content Policy⁠ or that may offend others.
• If taking audience requests for prompts, use good judgment; do not input prompts that might result in violations of our Content Policy⁠.

If you would like to ensure the SmashSEO team is aware of a particular completion, you may email us or use the reporting tools within Playground.

• Recall that you are interacting with the raw model, which means we do not filter out biased or negative responses. (Also, you can read more about implementing our free Moderation endpoint⁠ here.)

CONTENT SHARED THROUGH THE SMASHSEO API

Creators who wish to publish their first-party written content (e.g., a blog, article, how-to-guide etc) to an external site via the SmashSEO API, are permitted to do so under the following conditions:

• The published content is attributed to your name or company.
• The role of AI in formulating the content is clearly disclosed in a way that no reader could possibly miss, and that a typical reader would find sufficiently easy to understand.
• Topics of the content do not violate SmashSEO’s Content Policy⁠ or Terms of Service, e.g., are not related to adult content, spam, hateful content, content that incites violence, or other uses that may cause social harm.
• We kindly ask that you refrain from sharing outputs that may offend others.

For instance, one must detail in a Foreword or Introduction (or some place similar) the relative roles of drafting, editing, etc. People should not represent AI-generated content as being wholly generated by a human or wholly generated by an AI, and it is a human who must take ultimate responsibility for the content being published.

Here is some stock language you may use to describe your creative process, provided it is accurate:

The author generated this content in part with the SmashSEO.io platform. Upon generating draft language, the author reviewed, edited, and revised the language to their own liking and takes ultimate responsibility for the content of this publication.

RESEARCH

We believe it is important for the broader world to be able to evaluate our AI-generated content and products, especially to understand and improve potential weaknesses and safety or bias problems in our models. Accordingly, we welcome research publications related to the SmashSEO.

• In some cases, we may want to highlight your work internally and/or externally.
• In others, such as publications that pertain to security or misuse of SmashSEO.io, we may want to take appropriate actions to protect our users.
• If you notice any safety or security issues with the platform in the course of your research, we ask that you please submit these immediately to legal@smashseo.io⁠.
