    AI and automated SEO – can Chat GPT effectively position our online store?

    Chat GPT can be a useful tool to support the SEO process of a website, but on its own, it will not replace comprehensive SEO efforts

    Here’s how GPT Chat can help with website optimization:

    • generate optimized content (such as product descriptions and blog posts),
    • suggesting relevant keywords,
    • optimization of existing content,
    • creating meta tags,
    • competitor analysis,
    • proposing technical improvements to the site,
    • generating reports on SEO performance,

    With these features, Chat GPT can save you time and resources.

    Limits of GPT Chat in positioning:

    • cannot directly integrate with SEO tools or perform real-time analysis,
    • it also does not replace SEO expertise in current search engine algorithm changes,
    • is not able to make technical changes to the site on its own,
    • will not provide the full industry context that is often necessary for effective SEO optimization.

    A complete SEO strategy, therefore, requires additional tools, human intervention and regular monitoring of results.

    Is it possible to run an SEO strategy without automation?

    Yes, running an SEO strategy without automation is possible, but it involves more time and work. In addition, monitoring SEO results without automated tools is less accurate. Good search engine optimization is done with a specialist who has access to multiple tools, which allows for more precise data and faster response to changes. Having multiple programs allows a specialist to focus on more strategic aspects of SEO.
