Harnessing AI for SEO Success: A Personal Journey with WordPress Content Optimization

Over the past few months, I’ve explored the potential of artificial intelligence in enhancing my website’s visibility and content quality. Surprisingly, the results exceeded my initial expectations, prompting me to share a detailed account of this experimentation for fellow WordPress users.

Background and Initial Challenges

As the founder of a small corporate website—constructed on WordPress—I’ve long struggled with low search engine rankings. The site, established over a year ago, had minimal content: a handful of pages like “About Us,” five blog articles, and limited online presence.

The company name ranked on the second or third page; by the end of the month, it appeared on the first page for both Bing and Yandex. Google, known for its slower indexing, took a bit longer—initially on the tenth page, gradually moving closer to the first.
