How I 7X’d My SEO Traffic with ChatGPT

Does ChatGPT ACTUALLY Rank?

Short answer: Yes! But it’s all about how you create this content. These are based on my strategies with ChatGPT and similar AI tools.

For example, check out the site —descubreaves.com:

You can see there’s a huge contrast before and after AI! 

Does it work for local SEO? Yes, checked with my agency’s site. But does it work for new sites?

Today, the traffic is growing exponentially, and you can see it coming out of the sandbox period.

How does the process work? Simple: Keywords. Content. Backlinks. That’s it. And I’ll explain how to do each of the above and leverage AI and rank higher. 

Ever wondered about the 80-20 of SEO? How to nail 80% of the results with just 20% of the work? Google's got hundreds of ranking factors. It's overwhelming! So, what tasks give us the biggest bang for our buck? How can we use AI to achieve that? 

Here's the thing: many folks scatter their efforts in SEO. They try to do everything: technical SEO, on-page stuff, link building, content... the list goes on… And don't get me started on WordPress plugins and other distractions. But what if you just focused on a few key things? It's simpler, more efficient, and way less stressful. 

Keyword Research with ChatGPT

At its core, it's about understanding what folks type into Google to find you. Think random stuff like "Can cats sip on butter?" (Okay, maybe not that random), but you get the gist: it's all about tapping into your target market's mind. Many just guess their keywords, and that's a recipe for disaster. But with the right strategy, you can simplify your journey from point A to point B.

You might be in an industry that's just too competitive to rank for. If that's the case, I will show you a quick and automated strategy to find low-competition keywords. This is how Serpstat helps:

You can simply filter relevant topics related to your industry with the keyword difficulty score. Keyword difficulty (KD) scores range from 0 (easy) to 100 (very hard). Take the keyword "SEO" as an example. 

To rank for it, you'd need 1,000s of backlinks. So, how do you find less competitive keywords related to SEO? Filtering for feasible keywords.

Find related terms to your main topic in Serpstat and aim for keywords in the 0-10 KD range.

You might also check out the SERPstat GPT plugin to help you with keyword research:

Now, you can do this for any industry. Replace "SEO" with your desired industry/topic. You can apply this to every topic out there.

Once you've listed potential keywords, evaluate their business impact. Ask yourself: Will ranking for this keyword increase leads or revenue? If not, skip it. Focus on keywords that are going to either:

If not, there’s no point in ranking for it!

With AI, you can create more content for cheaper than ever. So the ROI doesn’t need to be so high. But the quality isn’t quite as high as a top-notch writer. So that’s why picking low keyword difficult keywords is so crucial.

Crafting SEO-Optimized Content

"Plan your work and work your plan." Structure your content correctly, and it’s easier to rank. Wondering how to structure your content? The first page of Google holds the answers. For any given keyword, study the top-ranking pages. Aim to enhance your content by 20% in quality and length.

That’s how tools like ChatGPT plugins feature help: enable WebPilot to automate this process, scraping top results and crafting content outlines. It reverse engineers your top 10 competitors. 

With your outline ready, it's content creation time. AI tools can assist in generating content. In fact, you can train ChatGPT 4 to include internal or external links, videos, and pictures in your content. 

But is AI-generated content actually up to the mark? I’ve certainly hired worse writers. In content creation, the traditional route of hiring human writers typically incurs costs ranging from $50 to $100 per article. This conventional approach, while effective, can strain budgets, especially for continuous content needs. Enter AI tools like ChatGPT Plus, revolutionizing this model by offering an affordable alternative. At a flat rate of just $20 per month, these AI solutions provide access to an unlimited stream of content.

Is AI Content Safe for SEO?

Will Google penalize AI-generated content? It's a looming question. But in a few years, will human writers even be a necessity? Google's stance? Right now, they say they reward quality content, irrespective of its origin. However, blindly copying from AI tools isn't the answer. Always proofread and quality check before you publish.
