AI-Optimized SEO Content: How Writing Tools Can Supercharge Your Blog

If you want your website or blog to generate organic, long-term traffic, you need an effective SEO content strategy. This means creating high-value content regularly that positions you above your competition on the search engine ranking pages (SERPs) so searchers choose you instead of them. However, with the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in all forms of creative media, it’s easier than ever to mass-produce content. SEO experts can identify valuable keywords, create content, and generate traffic in minutes instead of hours.

So, if you want to keep up, you should utilize AI tools in your content creation strategy. Fortunately, we’ll highlight three tools you can use together to streamline your drafting and SEO optimization while ensuring people actually want to read your content.

What AI Writing Tools Should You Use for SEO Content?

AI writing tools come in various forms, but they generally fall into one of three categories: content creation, SEO optimization, and readability or humanizer tools. Here are three you can start using for little to no investment.

ChatGPT (Content Creation)

ChatGPT is an AI content creation tool that uses generative AI to write content for you. You simply tell it what you want, like a 500-word article on the best dog breeds for kids or a template for an HVAC landing page, and it will scour the internet and its database, analyze existing content, and generate its response to your prompt based on its research.

ChatGPT is effective because you can provide as much detail as you want, including building on the initial prompt, until it fits your desired tone, brand voice, and other specifications.

SurferSEO (SEO Optimization)

SurferSEO is an AI-powered SEO optimization tool that works alongside content creation. After generating your draft using ChatGPT, you can use SurferSEO to analyze the top-ranking content for your target keywords. It then provides recommendations on word count, keyword usage, headings, and more to ensure your content is optimized for search engines.

With SurferSEO, you can see what the competition is doing and identify ways to improve upon it to help your content stand out. Plus, it assigns a content score that makes it easy to fine-tune your content to fit Google’s expectations better.

Grammarly (Readability)

Grammarly is a popular AI-powered tool for ensuring your content is clear, concise, and error-free. Even with perfect SEO, your content must engage readers and be worth reading. Otherwise, they won’t stick around long enough to become a lead or loyal reader.

Grammarly helps you polish your writing by flagging grammar mistakes, improving sentence structure, and suggesting stylistic adjustments to make your content more readable. Plus, you can set your preferred tone, audience type, use case, and other preferences to ensure the recommendations fit your brand voice and tone.

An Example Workflow Using AI Writing Tools

Here’s a quick example of using the three tools mentioned above to write an article:

Start by using ChatGPT to draft your blog post. Alternatively, you can have it create an outline for the post and then fill it in yourself or with another tool. Next, optimize the content with SurferSEO’s insights to ensure the content ranks well on search engines and find gaps in competitor articles you can fill. Finally, run the text through Grammarly to catch errors and improve readability, ensuring your content fits your brand voice and engages your target audience. With these three tools, you can create high-quality, SEO-optimized content in less time.
