AI in SEO: Why Does it Still Have a Long Way to Go?

After announcements from Google and Microsoft, AI is the talk of the SEO industry. The upcoming AI-powered search functionality is a hot topic. It is still early, but AI in SEO enables professionals to do their job easier and faster. The sky’s the limit for future potential. Though human input is important, whether this will continue to be the case remains to be seen.

Let us observe how AI SEO tools are shaping up; the general feeling is that they have a long way to go.

Broad worldwide keywords are generated by AI, but not precise keywords

AI is of help to accelerate the process of finding global keywords, and it allows to establish a baseline to tinker more easily. By no means does it understand a client’s unique business, as all of them are different from each other. It helps in speeding up the process of organizing campaigns, considering suggested ad copy and keywords, and evaluating the linguistic translation of the keywords to determine if they need to be added to the client’s campaign or not.

AI can speed up the process by 25% or more, which is considered significant assistance. Experts agree on the language point, as it is referred to as a popular feature but turns out to be the scariest. The reason is that AI can review international pages in languages that do not speak for fluency or repletion of terms.

AI creates formulas and markups, but inaccuracies abound

Apart from keyword creation, AI is used to write Excel formulas, regex, and schema. But in the case of schema, you need to watch out for it. Recently, An author for a pet firm had a persona schema created by AI that purported to represent her as knowledgeable about animal care, despite the fact that she was not.

AI produces meta descriptions and page titles, but their relevancy is questionable

AI SEO tools synthesize content into page titles and meta descriptions, but ChatGPT is much better than the latter. The general expectation is that the system has issues, but figuring out what is important information in a piece of text and what is less relevant is the key.

AI does not do well with character counts, so there arises a need to rework the count to obtain what you want. You may become frustrated that the same prompt does not necessarily yield the same type of results. The issue is likely due to user error, but the systems are not able to completely understand the intent and the amount of time taken for optimization. The ChatGPT prompt takes away the efficiency that you obtain from leveraging the tool.

While writing content, AI has trouble with repetition and accuracy

Though some SEOs are using AI to produce content like blog topics, FAQs, and outline creation, content creation is where things get dicey. AI in SEO is about avoiding duplication. ChatGPT is all about content creation, and the tool does not produce unique content, so there is a possibility that the content may be duplicated in the future.

It is anticipated that AI will be the primary factor in scaling content development. It is regarded as a rough first draft that must be quickly checked for voice, tone, and uniqueness.AI still struggles with the basics, such as product descriptions, brand messaging, and emerging technology. A concern with AI is that it is only aware of what has been input. So, it will not always provide you with a unique angle or expertise to stand out from your competitors, the internet at large, or the marketplace. This is something that has to be incorporated during the process of human editing.

AI can assist in problem-solving, but its true potential is unknown

Every company employs artificial intelligence for tasks such as keyword research, project management, and social media optimization, but not for content creation. Though the main objective is to simplify it for its use, relevance, and value. A notable feature is that AI fits into that. There is also the possibility of saving time, which is a valuable asset.

But it is still early days, so the company, just like others, has started to evaluate its broader potential, which includes how to become a nimbler organization.

A challenge that they tend to encounter is that things do not happen fast, particularly if it is an enterprise organization and resources are tight. But there is always a push to scale things up. We end up observing how we are using these tools that help us meet some of the production demands. To become greener and more exclusive, businesses are looking into the possibilities of generative and other AI tools.

Even so, it would mean exploring other ideas to become creative with some of the deliverables. There exists potential in, goodness knows, what else.
