Last month’s release of ChatGPT by OpenAI caused a stir around the world, including the SEO industry. This chatbot, built on OpenAI’s GPT-4.0 and conversational in style, has been a game-changer in Artificial Intelligence with its comprehensive and high-quality responses, even leading Google to declare a “Code Red” due to its increasing popularity in information searches.
There are many other use cases for ChatGPT to support day-to-day SEO activities – it’s important to highlight the “support” role here, the completely on autopilot mode SEO doesn’t run even with ChatGPT.
Here are tips on how to use ChatGPT for
SEO
can use:
1. identify relevant topics
One of the most important tasks in the field of
search engine optimization (SEO)
is the identification of relevant topics. These topics should be tailored to the target group and be of interest to them. They should also be relevant to current trends and developments in the industry. By identifying relevant topics, companies can improve their
SEO strategy
better to the needs and interests of their target group and thus achieve better results.

2. find relevant search terms
Relevant search terms are those used by users to search for the products or services that a company offers.
By using relevant keywords in a website’s content and meta tags, companies can increase their visibility in search engines and thereby drive more traffic to their website.

3. categorize a list of keywords based on their search intent
Categorizing keywords based on their search intent is an important part of search engine optimization (SEO).
By mapping keywords to specific categories, such as information search, transactional search, or navigational search, companies can better understand what users are looking for and how to optimize their content to provide those users with what they are looking for.

4. cluster search terms according to their semantic relevance
One way to increase the effectiveness of search engine optimization is to cluster search terms according to their semantic relevance. This means that similar or related terms are grouped together to increase the relevance of the page for certain search queries.
For example, terms such as “e-car,” “electric car,” “Stromer,” and “electric vehicle” could be clustered together because they all describe the same topic. By clustering search terms, website owners can also ensure that they cover all important aspects of a topic and are therefore relevant to as many search queries as possible.

5. create attractive page titles
Attractive page titles are important because they help your website to be found by visitors and search engines. A meaningful and concise title gives visitors a clear idea of what to expect on the page. It piques their interest and makes them curious, which can lead to them staying longer on the page and looking at the content.
Search engines also use the title of a page as one of the most important ranking factors. A well-optimized title can help your page appear higher in search results, making it easier to find.

6. create meta descriptions
A meta description is a short text that is displayed in the search results of a search engine. It gives users an idea of what to expect on the corresponding web page and should therefore be formulated in a precise and appealing way.
A good meta description can help more users click on the web page and thus increase the click-through rate (CTR). It is therefore an important factor for the visibility and success of a website in search engines.

7. revise existing texts
SEO rewriting involves editing existing text to make it more understandable to search engines and increase its visibility. For example, keywords can be included or the text can be structurally adjusted. However, it is important that the text remains interesting and easy to read for readers.
A well-written SEO text can thus not only improve the visibility of a website, but also contribute to a higher conversion rate.
By using ChatGPT to revise your SEO texts, you can ensure that they are of high quality and meet the requirements of search engines. Remember that ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can help you create great SEO texts, but it is still important to review the text and make sure that it meets your requirements.

8. create FAQs
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) can help your website get found better in search engines by including relevant keywords and satisfying users.

9. rich snippets with Schema.org markup
Schema markup is code that helps search engines understand your content and display it better in search results.

10. improve grammar, style and spelling
ChatGPT is a powerful language model trained by OpenAI that can be used to improve grammar, style and spelling in texts. Using ChatGPT can ensure that texts are error-free and easy to read, which can help them to be better indexed by search engines and better received by readers.

The risks of ChatGPT for SEO
There is no doubt that ChatGPT offers enormous potential for SEO. But there are also disadvantages and risks that should not be underestimated.
Chat GPT accesses an enormous amount of data. However, the possible information is limited to just that in terms of content. This not only creates problems for areas where current developments are extremely important. Because the texts will generally cause two problems sooner or later in the mass.
- Lack of added value due to lack of “uniqueness”: since the information is limited to the database, new texts will never offer their own content, but will always just repeat known information and output it differently. For users and search engines, there is a lack of independence, added value and that certain something extra to make a content more positive and better than the masses. Google may not see that as valuable or helpful enough. Why would a search engine index the text then?
- Duplicate content: It is a matter of statistics when texts are no longer independent enough in terms of content. Google can evaluate such content as “duplicate content”, i.e. content that simply repeats familiar things in a similar form. The possible consequences are ranking losses or a lack of indexing. Since ChatGPT seems to be a sensible alternative for many, especially for product descriptions, it is probably in this segment that the first problems will arise. Because at some point, “white sneakers” can no longer be described independently enough with the tool’s database. There is then a risk of ranking and indexing problems.
Conclusion
Although artificial intelligences like ChatGPT are capable of performing a variety of tasks, they are not capable of delivering complete end results in search engine optimization and content marketing at the click of a button.
Instead, such tools can currently only facilitate individual work steps and smaller tasks, as described in this article. So, it is important to note that artificial intelligences should only be considered as a support and not as a replacement for human work performance.
(However, this conclusion was 100% written by ChatGPT).
