Here are some final thoughts
- Don't try to use AI for everything at once. Begin with one or two areas where you think AI can make the biggest impact.
- Always review AI-generated content and designs. While AI is powerful, it's not perfect. Your human touch and expertise are crucial.
- Ensure your website still reflects your brand's unique voice and style. AI should enhance, not replace, your creativity.
- AI tools are evolving rapidly. Stay updated on new developments and be open to trying new tools.
- Be mindful of data protection laws when using AI tools, especially those that process user data.
- Ensure that AI-driven designs and content are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.
- While AI can add powerful features, be careful not to overload your site with too many resource-intensive tools that could slow it down.
- Always prioritize user experience over flashy AI features. If an AI tool doesn't improve the user experience, reconsider its use.
- Use AI as a tool to augment your decision-making, not to replace it entirely.
- Before launching, thoroughly test all AI-driven elements to ensure they work seamlessly with your WordPress site.
AI is a powerful tool, but it's most effective when combined with human creativity and judgment. Use it to enhance your WordPress site, but don't lose sight of your unique vision and goals.

Hi Jeff
Surfer SEO is a great tool, but it's on the pricey side. I haven't tried it yet, but there is a free 7-day trial. 😎
