Unlocking the Full Potential of ChatGPT to Help with Our Sites
What an Incredible tool Chatgpt is when you delve into it! I already thought it was interesting but now I'm beginning to think it's waaay more useful that I'd realised.
FYI I choose NOT to use chat to actually write my posts, but I do use it as an incredible resource for other things. And I will use it to help me generate information for my posts.
Here are 7 uses for chatgpt which I can think of right now, though I’m sure there are lots and lots more. If you have other uses please share them in the comments too!
I’m so excited by some of these uses for Chatgpt!
The first two are more obvious uses:
1. Title Help: input a title you’re thinking of using and ask for 20 alternative titles. You can specify the length and the keyword you want to include in it.
The suggestions will highlight different ways of thinking about your title and you can usually either find one you like, or just grab and use some individual words which come from chat but improve your original idea.
If none of the titles are any good, tell chat why and ask for more again. Sometimes I’ve had to say, ‘but those titles don’t include the keyword which I specified’, and then chat will apologise and run it again. Haha.
2. Brainstorm for topic ideas by asking for questions people might ask around your chosen keyword - though I find they often come back too mainstream for my site at the moment. But still worth doing just for generating ideas.
Now this is where I started getting very excited!
Site Review
3. Put in the main url of your site and ask chat to tell you about the site. You’ll get an insight into how a visitor may view your site. It also shows what type of post is dominant.
You can ask about different categories, niches etc.
4. Next, ask chat specific questions: for example: Are there any topic gaps in this website? Or - Can you suggest further topics that this site could have? Is the SEO ok? Etc.
5. Ask chat for suggestions for improvements it can make for the site. For my site it suggested using more infographics, which is so cool; I immediately hopped over to Canva and published a couple of infographics lol!
Post Review
6. Paste the url of your just-published article into Chatgpt and ask for an article review. Next ask whether the article is complete or whether there's any missing information in the article. You can ask any questions, for example how well the article is written. . . etc.
And the Best Yet . . .Your Own Private tutor.
7. Use chatgpt as your own private teacher for things you don’t understand yet about web building, blogging, marketing etc.
For example, when you get a site-audit back from ahrefs or wherever, you might find something you don’t really understand. Past it into Chat and ask for clarification.
For example my audit came back with a very long URL with extra info, and the report said ‘duplicate’.
So I pasted it into chat and asked what it meant. Et voila! A complete explanation and breakdown of the url! It turns out the duplicate content was from my email newsletter . . . .
The possibilities are endless. Have a doubt? Ask chatgpt!
Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

Edit: of course don't believe everything it tells you and remember that chatgpt isn't perfect by any means. Sometimes it will randomly answer with some totally incorrect stuff.

Some excellent tips and advice on how we can benefit from these AI tools for our businesses Soraya!
With the right prompts the opportunities seem to be endless!
Appreciate the share my friend!
These are a great suggestions. I use chat GPT to create my initial outlines as well as do my research.

Just always remember, ChatGPT has been shown to repeatedly provide wrong information and slanted results. Always double check what it's telling you. The lawsuits have already begun over this.
Yes of course, very good point. I've added a P.S. to mention this. It isn't always on point by any means.
It's really like having a virtual assistant to help you out, who is also an expert in things like SEO and grammar, etc.
Hello, Soraya.
I enjoyed reading your post on the questions you used to help with your posts, particularly using ChatGPT to audit your web content. That is brilliant, and sometimes easier to take criticism from AI than from a peer. I think this because peers are often superfluous and will only comment on the good in something...never critical of ways of improving.
Have an excellent weekend!
Regards, Matt
Hi Matt,
Thanks!
Since starting out in this I've struggled to know where to go to find peers who would give feedback in the first place.
And there's been so many times when I don't understand something but it's just got brushed away with the time and forgotten about.
Now I can check whether chatgpt can enlighten me a bit! Sometimes it's not on point of course, but it's definitely got some plus points!
Have a great weekend too!

Good morning Soraya,
That's an interesting post about AI and it actually makes it sound really good! I am still learning about using the AI software, I'm currently going through Kyle's training. There are four lessons in total.
I tried putting the URL of my website into ChatGBT, followed by, "Can you tell me about this site, please? However, it told you that it doesn't have specific information on websites! I would be interested to know how you asked the question, please.
The way you have explained using ChatGBT sounds brilliant and really useful. However, I am concerned that the wrong people will use ChatGBT for the wrong things. I sincerely hope that I am wrong!
Have a great day.

Hi Roy,
I just posted into ChatGPT. ..
Please analyse: https://blognamehere.com
I wonder if it will work for you now? I suspect it won't work on new sites, if you site is new.
Have a great day too!
Soraya
Hello Soraya,
Thank you, it worked! Fascinating stuff!
The particular website that I put into ChatGBT is well-established. It just shows how we have to put the right words and questions correctly; otherwise, ChatGBT won't understand! I guess it's the same with humans; sometimes, we don't understand the question!
Have a great Sunday.
Roy
So glad it worked for you!! It's interesting to see, isn't it!
Happy Sunday to you!
Soraya :-)
I have to say; despite my previous post, it really looks like you're making the most of artificial intelligence!
I've actually bookmarked your post as you have put some important points in your blog post.
Enjoy your day.
Roy
Another thing you can do is post a portion of a new article, telling chat what the subtitle is (so for example, this is the intro / this is the first sections titled X) and ask for feedback. It can really speed things up for you. And if chat says it's all good, then ask again but say 'can you suggest any improvements'? Chat will then mention things you haven't included - sometimes by choice but other times by mistake!
Have fun!
Soraya :)
Thank you,Soraya!
That sounds like a very interesting concept, I will try another play-around. I also need to finish Kyle's course, as he gives quite a few tips and examples etc.
Have a great day.
