Harnessing AI for SEO and Content Enhancement: A Real-World Experiment

In recent months, I embarked on an experiment using artificial intelligence tools to optimize and revamp my company’s website. As someone initially skeptical about AI’s true capabilities in content management, I was curious to see how these advanced technologies could impact my site’s visibility and overall SEO performance.

Background and Initial Conditions

The website in question is a four-year-old domain, though it has been inactive for most of that period. It features a few basic pages such as “About Us” and a handful of blog articles—totaling just five, with limited search engine presence. Despite having the company name in search queries, the site only occasionally appeared on the second or third page of Google results. Given this modest starting point, I decided to experiment with AI-driven SEO improvements, content rewriting, and strategic planning, all using tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek.

I created a detailed schedule for publishing articles, specifying topics, categories, and timing. Initial content development was somewhat chaotic; AI struggled to produce full-length, professional-grade articles without guidance. I learned to instruct the AI to generate longer, more comprehensive pieces—exceeding 1,000 words—and to adopt a more formal, corporate tone.

By the end of the first week, I had assembled a collection of articles, both drafted by AI and my own notes, ready for publication over the next three months. I monitored key web analytics platforms to track progress and indexation.

Results and Observations

Within just 15 days, search engines like Yandex and Bing began displaying activity, with the site moving up in their rankings for the company name. By the 30-day mark, the website achieved the number one position for that phrase on both platforms and appeared on the first page of Google search results. These early wins, though modest, were encouraging, especially considering the site’s initial dormancy and absence of backlinks or paid promotions.

Over subsequent weeks, I observed fluctuations typical of new sites. There was an initial drop in rankings, and some keywords temporarily disappeared from search results—yet, within a week, positions improved again, and the website began appearing for a broader set of long-tail and LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords. Currently, at the three-month point, the site
