Ever since OpenAI released its new AI project,\u00a0ChatGPT<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, the internet and social media have been flooded with posts on how incredible technology is. <\/span><\/p>\n

In its simplest form, ChatGPT is a new generative language model optimized for chats.<\/p>\n

The power of AI in content generation has been a matter of discussion for a long time, but ChatGPT has shown the capability of generative AI for SEO. We won’t go into the engineering and technological aspects of ChatGPT but focus this article more on how this text-generating AI application can be used for your search engine optimization campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ChatGPT<\/p>\n

What is ChatGPT?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

ChatGPT is a generative language model optimized for the conversational chat based on OpenAI’s GPT-3 technology. The incredible capabilities of this chatbot are because of GPT-3, or the third-generation Generative Pre-trained Transformer. It is a neural network machine learning model with over 175 billion parameters and is trained to generate any type of text based on internet data.<\/span><\/p>\n

To give you an idea of the size of GPT-3’s deep learning neural network, before its availability, Microsoft’s Turing NLG model was the largest natural language processing model, which had only 10 billion parameters. Today, GPT-3 is the largest neutral network ever produced, which is why it is much better at generating text like a human.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think of ChatGPT as a chatbot on steroids.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s not only able to create content but also write code, generate poems, and answer difficult mathematical questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

We asked ChatGPT,\u00a0<\/span>Can we use ChatGPT for technical SEO<\/a>?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The reply was aptly put:<\/span><\/p>\n

ChatGPT can be used to generate content for technical SEO, such as meta tags and descriptions, alt tags for images, and structured data markup. However, it would not be able to analyze a website’s technical SEO issues or provide recommendations for improving them. That would require specialized tools and expertise in the field of technical SEO.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"ChatGPT-use-case<\/p>\n

ChatGPT is specifically designed to reply in a conversational context unlike other language models. This is why it can generate more natural and varied text than machine-generated text.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s dive deeper into how we can use ChatGPT for SEO as a productivity tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Content creation\u00a0but now how you think<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest challenges for marketers is to create content, particularly if they don’t have skilled writers in their teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

ChatGPT can generate text for you on virtually any topic, but is it advisable?<\/span><\/p>\n

We would not recommend using ChatGPT for writing web pages and blog posts. In 2022, John Mueller, the Google Search Advocate, stated that there is no doubt that the search engine views\u00a0<\/span>AI-generated content to be spam and is a violation of the company’s guidelines<\/span><\/a>. It is safe to assume that Google algorithms can identify content generated by ChatGPT even if it uses anti-detection algorithms. This is why you must always include human oversight when creating content with AI tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, you can use ChatGPT freely to create content for social media posts, landing page copy for PPC, and email pitches. It can also be a great brainstorming tool for content ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

In short, you can streamline redundant SEO content tasks like ad variations and social media posts using ChatGPT. Just make sure to proofread for any inaccuracies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keyword research\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

ChatGPT-generated text risks getting penalized, but it must not stop you from using it for keyword research and analysis. With ChatGPT, keyword research becomes practically effortless. For instance, we researched keyword ideas for this post using ChatGPT.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the result:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All you have to do for content research and analysis is open ChatGPT and type in a few target keywords or the topic. It will generate a list of keywords by analyzing the search results based on your input.<\/span><\/p>\n

We did the same in the example above. After we entered the query, ChatGPT presented a list of keywords and phrases that can come up for the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only simple keyword research, but you can use the application for determining the competition of various keywords. We asked, which is easy to rank for, “Machine Learning SEO” or “ChatGPT SEO”?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s the output:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ChatGPT-use-case<\/p>\n

It entirely depends on your ability to use ChatGPT for keyword research and analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Better understanding of search intent<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arguably, the potential of understanding the search intent of SEO-related topics with ChatGPT is exceptionally high. This generative language model can comprehensively explore any search query beyond simple keyword match into the user’s intent.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is almost similar to what Google does with your search queries. With time, the Surgeon General algorithms have improved astonishingly well to understand the intent behind every input. But in the words of Keiran Flanagan, “Google takes your query and attempts to answer it. ChatGPT takes your query and will often improve upon it.”<\/span><\/p>\n
