Article Originality Check

With Google's March 2026 Core Update, duplicate, "programmatic," or AI-generated bulk content has been severely demoted in rankings. Expanding on the previous year's spam policies, the update rewards sites that produce quality and original articles. The Quality Rater Guidelines, updated during the same period, explicitly state that content can be given an "Lowest" quality rating if AI-generated content is detected. These changes have made article originality checks a mandatory part of every content strategy in 2026.

• Always source critical data (statistics, quotes); this reduces the risk of an article violation query.

• If your article SEO analysis score is below 80% after the test, re-edit the title and H2s.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Is the originality test free?

Yes; Naklov's free article originality test version allows you to scan up to 3,000 words every day.

What does "low originality" mean in the article check report?

A score below 80% indicates that significant parts of the text have high similarity with other sources. Review the URLs in the report and rewrite the text.

Does your tool also detect AI content?

Yes. There is an "AI Similarity" score that marks potential LLM patterns in the text in accordance with 2026 guidelines. This score strengthens the originality check.
