Introduction
As a writer or a blogger, It's natural that you would want your work to rank high on Google search results. The reason is simple – high rankings can attract more customers and increase your online visibility. For companies, it's like being in the gold mine.
However, if you're a beginner, it can be challenging to get your content to rank high without proper research and knowledge of SEO. That's why it's essential to learn and implement effective SEO techniques that can boost your chances of ranking higher on Google and other search engines.
A few days ago I got this idea "What if I use AI to improve the SEO for me?"
My old articles have got around 500 views, but this time I improved the SEO of my latest article and it got 2000+ views. So I thought let's share this with the community.
Let's talk a bit about SEO
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is the practice of optimizing your website and its content to improve its visibility and ranking on search engines like Google. In simple words, SEO is the process of making your websites, pages, articles, and blogs show up higher in search results when people search for certain keywords or phrases related to your content. The higher your website ranks, the more likely people are going to click on it and visit your website.
I won't go deep into SEO because our main focus is to use AI to improve the SEO of the articles. So let's see how I did that.
Using ChatGPT
ChatGPT is an NLP-based Pre-trained Transformer that is well-trained on diverse data, including books, articles, and conversations, to understand various topics and contexts. It is well-trained on such keywords and is specially made to communicate in a natural language which means it is obviously good at grammar and SEO.
So I used ChatGPT to make the Introduction section of this article better and more SEO-friendly.
The Query that I typed into the ChatGPT:
This is what ChatGPT's response was:
The paragraph that I gave:
ChatGPT's Improved version of the paragraph:
I asked ChatGPT how the new version is better than the old version written by me.
and this is the response ChatGPT gave me:
Use of relevant keywords: The optimized paragraph includes relevant keywords such as "Google search results," "SEO techniques," and "attract more customers," which are more likely to be used by people searching for information related to the topic. This makes it more likely that the blog post will show up in relevant search results.
Clarity and conciseness: The optimized paragraph is clear and concise, making it easier for readers and search engines to understand the topic of the blog post. This can help improve its ranking on search engines by making it more accessible and relevant to users.
Proper formatting: The optimized paragraph uses proper formatting such as headers and bullet points, making it easier for search engines to scan and understand the content of the blog post. This can improve its ranking on search engines by making it more organized and accessible to users.
Use of natural language: The optimized paragraph uses natural language and avoids keyword stuffing or spammy tactics, which can harm the ranking of the blog post on search engines. It presents the information in a natural and engaging way, which can help attract and retain readers and improve its overall ranking on search engines.
As you can see it helped me improve my introduction paragraph.
However, there is one more thing that I asked for. I asked ChatGPT to rate the new paragraph out of 10 and it rated the new paragraph 8 out of 10 😂
Have you ever seen a more honest AI in your life? I mean it rated itself 8 out of 10. ChatGPT thinks the new paragraph can be further optimized to make it 10 out of 10. So I asked to improve it further 👇
This time it was just giving me tips and suggestions to improve the SEO but overall I guess it helped me a lot to improve the SEO already, so I didn't ask it again to rate the new paragraph. Good job ChatGPT!
Using the AI of Hashnode
The new AI feature of Hashnode is quite amazing. This tool Personal Writing assistant can be used to optimize your content and articles making them more SEO-friendly. I used this as well and I have to say it loud, it's very powerful. It is in the top bar of the draft page.
It can help in making the intro more SEO-friendly, it can make the conclusion of the article, and it can make titles more SEO optimized for you and many more features. Overall a solid tool to help you write better.
Using Notion's AI
I tried to use Notion's AI to improve the SEO but unfortunately, I couldn't afford 10$ per month.
You can use it if you have 10$ per month to pay.
Conclusion
In conclusion, using AI to improve the SEO of articles can be a game-changer for writers and bloggers who want to increase their online visibility and attract more customers. NLP-based transformers like ChatGPT can help in optimizing the content of articles to make them more SEO-friendly by using relevant keywords, proper formatting, and natural language. The new AI personal assistant feature of Hashnode is also a powerful tool that can help in making the introduction, conclusion, and titles of articles more SEO optimized. This way you won't have to worry about the SEO and you can focus on the more important thing which is "Content".
