SEO in the age of AI will help creators do the technical work of optimization where it was not done so easily before. We will discuss why AI will help creators with SEO and how it will make it easier to get into content creation.
SEO
For you to understand why you need to rank on Google you need to understand why SEO is the way it is. SEO is about putting filters within your content to make google pick up on it on the technical side. To optimize your content for SEO you need to title your content with the latest buzzwords that are relevant to your niche and have the key phrase and keywords be linked to that said title. Google likes relevancy, if your content is not relevant you will not rank. The reason Google needs you to have to relevant content comes down to Adsense. Google needs to make the advertisers who buy ad space feel like they spent their money well.
SEO And Linking
Another fundamental aspect of SEO is linking. Many creators completely skip this step when first trying to rank on Google. Think about linking like building a network. This network creates its own echo-chambers via what is called “ping backs.” When you link someones website to your website it pings their website and lets them know that you created a connection with them. You want to link to external sources that are within your scope of reach, meaning they will know exactly who is linking them, someone mid-tier who is established, but will still communicate with you, that’s how you build a network. The more ping backs come from your website the more Google will crawl your website which gives you a higher ranking on search.
How is linking done correctly? When you first start your blog you need to link externally only, then when your current blog has meat to its content then you start internally linking. The goal to understand is that you need to link no matter what, without linking you cannot extend your reach, the ping back mechanism is what allows the websites you link to find you. Now it should go without saying, you should only link to content relevant to the articles you are writing.
AI
Ever since Chat-GPT came out a few months ago the rate at which people are starting businesses, blogs, and apps are accelerating at a speed never seen before, because Chat-GPT does the job in minutes whereas before it could take weeks. It will be important for you to master Chat-GPT. With Chat-GPT my ability to learn SEO went from total confusion to almost second nature. What I have realized about SEO is that it is not about money spent, more so it’s about an algorithm of a company and how you can add content to make that algorithm pick up on your content. You need to realize that the SEO algorithm for Google is a receiver, it can only receive what the Google corporations deems as fit, your job is to make the content that the algorithm deems fit. Without AI I would not have been able too understand this so easily.
Fast And Free Labor
Fast and free labor via AI will kill 300 million jobs in the next few years. This is according to Goldman Sachs. Why would anyone hire a programmer for 140K USD a year when Chat-GPT can do the job for free and in way less time? Cost cutting via AI will make some mad, but for those who see the good in things, it’ll give you better capabilities at producing art that would have cost you a lot of money in the past. If you know how to use AI you will be on the forefront of the greatest artistic Renaissance in history. Think of this Renaissance as being even more transformative than the one in Europe back in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The Prompts To Use To Help You With SEO
Here are some prompts you can use on Chat-GPT for SEO.
“Analyze this article and give me a 160 character meta description:
Title: How To Use Chat GPT

P1: Prompts are better….
H2: conclusion”
Just fill up with the contents of your article.
Another prompt you can use is, “give me the structural outline of an SEO type of article.”
SEO Mistakes
Don’t use AI to do linking for you. A lot of AI has not been connected to the internet since 2021 so your links might be outdated or expired. Always find links yourself.
