Unlocking SEO Success with AI: A Case Study in Website Revitalization

In recent months, I’ve harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to enhance my website’s content and SEO strategy, and the results have surpassed my expectations. As someone who was initially skeptical about AI’s capabilities, I was surprised to see just how effective this approach can be in revitalizing a dormant online presence.

Background & Initial Conditions

The website in question is a four-year-old domain, with its active period limited to the past year. It’s a straightforward WordPress site representing a corporate enterprise I founded. Unfortunately, the site had remained largely inactive since launch, featuring only a handful of pages like “About Us” and a handful of blog articles. Despite having a recognizable company name, it barely ranked beyond the second or third page on Google searches.

Experiment Setup

Deciding to experiment, I chose to focus on basic SEO optimization and content creation using AI tools. My selections included ChatGPT and DeepSeek, which I employed for generating and refining content. Importantly, I didn’t simply copy and paste AI-generated text; instead, I used my notes and existing articles as seeds, guiding the AI to craft more professional, industry-specific content. The entire process was conducted without social media promotion—only leveraging my modest Instagram account to document progress.

Planning & Content Strategy

I devised a three-month roadmap outlining the number of articles to publish, target keywords, and content topics. After some iterative adjustments, I finalized a detailed schedule that included headlines, keywords, categories, and publication dates. This meticulous planning proved vital in maintaining focus and consistency.

Over time, I learned how to better instruct the AI—requesting longer articles (over 1,000 words) with a professional tone aligned to industry standards. As a result, within a week, I had a solid lineup of articles tailored to my notes and planned publication schedule. This content was then systematically uploaded, and I monitored its performance through Google Search Console and other webmaster tools.

Early SEO Results

Remarkably, within just 15 days, the site began to be indexed. Although there was no immediate change in Google rankings, I observed movement on Bing and Yandex, with my site ranking on the first page for my company name within a month. Long-tail keywords and related search terms started generating some traffic—a promising sign even
