Enhancing Your Website with AI: A Personal Journey Toward Better SEO Results
In recent months, I have been experimenting with Artificial Intelligence tools to refine my website’s content and boost its search engine performance. The results have surpassed my expectations, leading me to share this experience for those curious about integrating AI into their own digital strategies.
A Skeptical Beginning
Initially, I approached the idea of using AI with skepticism. As someone cautious about relying on automation for creative tasks, I hesitated to test its capabilities. Nevertheless, I decided to give AI a chance for some straightforward SEO adjustments and content creation, focusing on a website that’s been operational for about a year but essentially dormant—consisting of a handful of static pages like “About Us,” a few blog articles, and minimal visibility on search engines.
Setting a Clear Roadmap
My website, a four-year-old domain, was in dire need of a digital facelift. I devised a three-month plan: defining publishing schedules, identifying target keywords, and planning relevant content topics. Armed with this blueprint, I used tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek to generate and craft content aligned with my notes and existing articles. Importantly, I didn’t repurpose existing content verbatim; instead, I used AI to help reframe and expand upon my ideas, with no social media promotion involved—only my modest Instagram account supported the process.
Learning to Collaborate with AI
In the beginning, content creation was chaotic. Neither I nor the AI knew precisely what the outcome should be. For example, instructing the AI to produce a comprehensive 3,000-word article often resulted in brief, unprofessional outputs. Over time, I refined my prompts to ensure the AI understood my industry’s tone and professionalism standards, leading to more substantial and polished articles. By the end of the first week, I had a complete set of content, scheduled to be published over three months.
Monitoring Performance and Progress
Once the content was live, I started monitoring website analytics and indexing status. Within just 15 days, Google began indexing my pages, and I noticed some movement in Bing and Yandex rankings. After a month, my website ranked number one for the company’s name on Bing and Yandex, and it appeared on the first page of Google results. Although the traffic was still modest, I was pleased to see impressions for long-tail and LSI keywords—an encouraging sign of organic growth.
