What is SEO?
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is concerned with improving a website’s position in search results on platforms such as Google, Seznam, Bing and Yandex. SEO techniques help websites rank higher in searches, which increases their visibility and brings in more visitors. SEO is divided into two basic groups: on-page SEO (under which we also include technical SEO) and off-page SEO
.
On-page SEO: Focuses on optimizing the content and structure of a website. This includes headings, meta descriptions, text and internal links.
Technical SEO: Focuses on the technical aspects of a website, such as architecture, sitemap.xml, robots.txt and SSL certificates, among others.
Off-page SEO: Includes activities outside the website that affect its position in search engines, such as linkbuilding.
Using AI in SEO
AI offers many opportunities to streamline and improve SEO strategies. Here are some specific examples of how AI can help:
Keyword Analysis and Research
AI tools like SEMrush and MarketMuse allow for detailed analysis of keywords that are relevant to our industry and audience. These tools analyze trends, competition, click-through rates and other factors to help us select the most appropriate keywords.
Generating Content
Copy.ai and Notion.ai are examples of AI tools that can generate quality content based on given specifications. These platforms allow you to quickly create blog posts, product descriptions, social media posts, and emails. For example, if we need an SEO optimized article for our blog, we just need to enter keywords and the tool will generate relevant text.
Meta Tag Optimization
Generating meta tags is another area where AI can help us significantly. Using AI, we can automatically generate meta tags that are optimized for search engines. An example would be generating SEO optimized meta descriptions for individual products in an e-store, which is virtually impossible to do manually for large catalogs.

Practical Examples
Generating Meta Tags
Let’s define what metadata means. Metadata is data about data, and in the context of web pages, we’re talking about meta tags that help crawlers navigate web pages and determine what content they can expect to find on them.
Thanks to AI, we can set the perfect content for each meta tag automatically. For example, we can use AI to generate meta descriptions for recipes on recipe websites. Just enter the basic information about the recipe and the AI will generate an optimized description.
Keyword Analysis and Research
Keywords are terms that users type into search engines when searching for information on the internet. We can use AI tools such as SEMrush and MarketMuse to effectively use keywords in web content, descriptions and headlines. These tools help us select the most appropriate keywords based on relevance, competition, click-through rates, organic search and other factors.
