Can You Automate SEO with AI? I Tested It for a Year

This podcast details a year-long experiment in automating SEO content creation using AI tools. The podcaster, Dan Sanchez, invested $500 in an AI-powered tool to generate hundreds of blog posts across multiple websites. Despite ranking for many niche keywords, the automatically generated content proved to be low-quality, resulting in minimal traffic. Sanchez concludes that while AI can assist in writing, a collaborative approach—involving human oversight and expertise—is necessary for creating high-quality, effective SEO content. He advises against fully automating SEO and emphasizes the importance of understanding search intent and user needs.
