AI vs. SEO

A Love Story (with Boundary Issues)

Once upon a ranking...

There was SEO... dutiful, structured, keyword-obsessed.
It lived for meta tags, alt text, and perfect 1.5% keyword density.

Then along came AI, bursting through the algorithmic doors like a caffeinated intern with zero chill.

"Forget keywords," AI said, sipping its machine latte. "Let’s talk *context*. Let’s talk *intent*. Let’s talk 3,000-word articles with zero headings and weird jokes in between."

Act I: The Traditionalist SEO

SEO was methodical:

- Choose keywords with military precision

- Structure your H1 to H6 like a cathedral

- Backlink like your digital life depended on it

SEO believed in order. Logic. SERPs.

Act II: AI Enters the Chat

AI shows up like:

> "Oh, I already read your article.
Summarized it.
Translated it.
Gave it a personality.

Also, your keyword density? Meh."

AI cares about:

- Conversational tone

- Trust signals ("Do you *actually* know what you're talking about?")

- Snappy snippets it can quote to look smart in someone else’s search

And somehow... it’s still quoting the one blog you wrote in 2014 about sourdough.

Act III: The Merge

Now, AI and SEO go on awkward coffee dates:

- SEO brings a spreadsheet

- AI brings vibes

Together, they find a groove:

- Structure your content, but write like a human

- Use keywords, but cluster them around real questions people ask

- Build authority, but don’t sound like a robot from 2007

Examples from the Field

Old SEO:

> "How to make sourdough | Easy sourdough recipe | Sourdough for beginners"

AI-friendly SEO:

> “I tried making sourdough with one hand while holding a toddler. Here’s what I learned.”

Old SEO page title:

> "Best Dog Food for Golden Retrievers – 2025 Review"

AI-optimized version:

> "Your Golden Retriever Called. They’re Tired of Kibble."

Moral of the Story?

SEO didn’t die. It just had to loosen its tie and learn to vibe.

So next time you’re building a page, ask:

- Would I want to read this?

- Can an AI quote this without apologizing?

- Does this sound like a human... or an instruction manual?

Because these days, the best SEO strategy might just be: write like you're already being read by a robot... and a really picky human.

Hope this helped 🦾💪🏼🦾💪🏼 😏

Uh... uh... uh... just ask... remember...
