Discovering that AI enhances my website content revisions beyond expectations

Exploring the Impact of AI Content Creation on My Website’s SEO Journey

Recently, I embarked on an experiment utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for refining the content on my website, and the outcome has exceeded my expectations. As a self-professed skeptic regarding AI technologies, I was initially apprehensive. However, I decided to give it a shot for some much-needed SEO enhancements over the last few months.

The Setting

My focus was a corporate WordPress website that I founded four years ago, though it had been largely inactive until recently.

By the end of the week, I had several articles primed for future publication, all structured based on my original notes. As the website was integrated with essential webmaster tools, I began tracking its performance through analytics.

Notable Results

Within just 15 days, my website began to be indexed. While changes in Google results were slow to emerge, I noticed movement in traffic from Yandex and Bing for searches related to my company’s name. By the 30-day mark, I was thrilled to see my website ranking number one for my business name on both platforms, while also landing on the first page of Google search results for related inquiries.
