The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in search engine optimization (SEO) offers exciting opportunities for digital marketers. As enticing as the possibilities may be, AI tools cannot replace hands-on SEO work and human-generated content. While AI presents opportunities to enhance productivity and drive revenue, its SEO campaign work has crucial limitations. Today’s AI technology cannot replace SEO for the following:
- Return on investment (ROI) campaigns: Customization of ROI-driven campaigns cannot be automated, and launching successful and scalable campaigns still requires thorough research and tailored strategies. AI search tools can be leveraged to gain helpful industry insights such as keyword research. Still, AI cannot optimize keywords or landing pages nor develop full campaign strategies based on business objectives and revenue targets.
- Expert link-building: Retaining search engine dominance requires human link-building expertise to boost revenue-driven page rankings. Noticeable differences exist between professional user-generated and AI-generated content that users and search engines can easily spot. Google, for instance, ranks AI-generated content lower because it cannot produce copy or images that meet its Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines. Successful link-building efforts are gained through human-generated content that forms genuine human relationships with site owners and webmasters you want to link to your page.
- AI limits: AI tools only marginally increase efficiency for on-page optimization and need to catch up regarding results. The organic search visibility and traffic needed to scale and overshadow competitors requires vision and an innovative drive that AI cannot deliver. AI optimization tools can improve workflow for tedious tasks, such as creating meta descriptions or title tags, but cannot achieve the return on investment of a customized SEO campaign.
Can AI Be Used to Improve SEO Strategy?
AI tools can effectively augment your SEO efforts to reduce workloads and timelines. The benefits of using AI tools include:
- Outlining content: Utilizing AI content generators can help develop outlines for written content, such as blogs and articles, saving writers time in the creative process.
- Researching faster: AI can be useful when researching keywords or blog topics to help generate content ideas, though checking for accuracy is still required. AI tools are unable to differentiate between reliable and unreliable content.
- Optimizing human-generated SEO content: AI can be beneficial in optimizing human-generated written content with keywords, which aids in faster pivoting among changing trends.
Gaining optimized pages that help your brand stand out in search results requires more than AI tools alone can deliver. Utilizing AI for SEO is only effective with solid human-developed strategies.
