Here are practical ways SEO pros are using AI right now:

Creating Content

AI content writing tools can be used to create a variety of different types of content, including blog posts, articles, website copy, product descriptions, social media posts, and more.

These tools use NLP technology to generate unique and compelling content in minutes rather than hours or days.

“One of my favorite things to do is use AI to help me come up with FAQs that would be helpful to users, analogies to help beginners understand complex topics, or summarizing content so I can use it on other platforms, like our email newsletter or social media channels,”  said Marketing Director at Sixth City Marketing Sarah Blocksidge.

Additionally, they are able to suggest relevant keywords based on a given topic or query which helps ensure that your content is optimized for search engines and reaches the right audience.

How Does Google Feel About AI-Generated Content?

Google has officially taken a positive stance on the use of AI-generated content for SEO strategies as long as it meets certain criteria such as being original and providing value to readers.

It's important to remember that Google is still against low-quality content, whether it's generated by humans or AI. So it's important to use high-quality tools and to still have humans edit and fact-check the content.

Google obviously doesn't condone plagiarism or any other form of manipulation/black hat SEO tactics when using these types of tools so it’s important to be mindful when creating your own content with them.

SERP Research and Keyword Analysis

Chatbots can also be used to conduct keyword research and analysis, which is essential for any successful SEO campaign.

By leveraging the data gathered from users, chatbots can provide insights into what keywords people are searching for, as well as how they are being used in search engine results pages (SERPs). This information can then be used to optimize content for better rankings.

Additionally, it offers advanced features such as keyword classification which allows you to group related keywords together in order to optimize your SEO strategy even further.

Technical SEO

AI content tools can automate tedious and time-consuming tasks such as:

• Creating static XML sitemaps
• JSON-LD schema
• Crawl directives for robots
• Programmatic content projects

This saves time and resources, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your SEO strategy.

Content Strategy Development

Chatbots can also be used to develop a comprehensive content strategy that takes into account the user's needs and preferences. By understanding what users want, chatbots can help SEO professionals create content that is more likely to rank higher in SERPs and attract more visitors to the website or blog.

“AI helps me outline articles for our B2B SaaS platform much more efficiently than before, and ensures that I'm not missing anything that competitors have covered," said Emily Neal, SEO and content specialist at DSMN8. "As an SEO, naturally I use a variety of tools for conducting keyword research before writing any content. After this research phase, I put my notes into an AI tool to generate a blog post outline. I then ask the AI if I have missed anything, and it often suggests angles/points I hadn't previously considered. It saves me time, and helps level up my content.”

Improving User Experience

By providing quick answers to user queries, chatbots can improve the overall user experience on a website or blog. This improved user experience will lead to increased engagement with the website or blog, which in turn will result in higher rankings in SERPs due to increased dwell time on the site.

Enhanced Website Functionality and Ease of Use

Chatbots can also help enhance website functionality by providing automated responses that are tailored specifically to each user's needs and preferences. This makes it easier for users to navigate through a website or blog, resulting in improved usability which leads to better rankings in SERPs due to increased dwell time on the site as well as improved engagement with the content on the page.

Generate More Leads

Finally, chatbots can be used to generate more leads by engaging with potential customers who visit a website or blog looking for information about a particular product or service offered by an organization or business. By providing personalized responses based on each user's individual needs, chatbots can help increase conversions from potential customers into actual paying customers, resulting in more sales and revenue for an organization or business over time.

"We use advanced AI algorithms to scan and analyze the online profiles of our target audience," said President of Ascendly Marketing Marshal Davis. "This enables us to craft highly personalized cold emails that resonate with the recipient's interests and needs. The result is a dramatic increase in both open and response rates, transforming the effectiveness of our outreach campaigns.
