Can AI Do Search Engine Optimization?

Yes—use AI as an assistant for SEO work, with a clear brief and human review before publication. A practical starting point is page drafting: ask for a proposed answer to a customer’s question, check every business claim, and compare the draft with the existing page before deciding what to publish. Do not treat a generated draft as proof of better rankings or more enquiries.

The useful distinction is between asking AI to produce something and deciding whether that work belongs on your website. Keep those decisions separate.

Marcelo offers search engine optimization, content marketing, website design and marketing strategy. Its SEO work includes draft service-area pages presented alongside existing website pages for review before anything goes live. That review-first approach provides a useful model for evaluating AI-assisted content.

Start with a bounded task rather than a broad instruction such as “do my SEO.” Specify the page, the customer’s question and the information the draft is allowed to use.

For a service page, a useful brief might ask for:

• A direct answer to one customer question.
• A proposed heading structure.
• An explanation of the relevant service using approved business information.
• A short FAQ that avoids repeating the main text.
• A separate list of details that need confirmation before publication.

Treat each item as a proposal to review, not a finished deliverable to accept automatically.

For example, instead of asking for “the best SEO page,” try:

Keep the first assignment small enough to inspect carefully. Review one page before commissioning a batch.

Build an approved information sheet first. Include the business name, the services being discussed and any other details the business has verified for that page.

For Marcelo, relevant service names include search engine optimization, content marketing, website design and marketing strategy. Use those names plainly rather than expanding them into unverified packages or promises.

For your own drafting brief, separate information into three groups:

Approved for publication: Details the business has verified and wants customers to read.

Questions for the reviewer: Details that need an answer before they can appear on the page.

Excluded claims: Statements the draft must not make, such as unsupported awards, performance figures or guarantees.

Be especially deliberate with location pages. Supply each location explicitly for approval; do not ask the drafting tool to choose towns, invent an office or fill in a service radius.

Review the draft in separate passes. Give each pass one job so that polished wording does not distract from accuracy.

Begin with a small reviewable set. Approve the brief, inspect the first draft and refine the instructions before expanding the work.

Before approving another page, ask:

• What distinct customer question will this page answer?
• Which approved service details belong here?
• What useful explanation will distinguish it from the other pages?
• Who will check the content before publication?
• What would justify keeping this as a separate page?

Avoid making page volume the goal. Set an editorial standard first, then apply it to each proposed page.

Marcelo’s content marketing materials include planning batches of location and service pages and choosing drafts before review. Follow that planning principle: decide what deserves a draft before asking for more writing.

Do not make the drafting tool responsible for choosing every business priority. Decide what you want the page to accomplish before commissioning it.

Choose a specific purpose, such as explaining a service, answering a recurring question or helping a visitor decide what to ask next. Then assess the proposed content against that purpose.

Keep related work in view without treating it as interchangeable. Marcelo offers SEO, content marketing, website design, paid advertising, social media management and marketing strategy. When discussing a project, identify which service you need rather than assuming that a page-writing request includes every part of your marketing.

Use practical questions to understand the proposed work:

• Which tasks would involve AI assistance?
• What business information would guide the drafts?
• Who would verify the claims?
• Would you review proposed changes before publication?
• How would the provider handle details that need confirmation?
• What work would be included beyond drafting?
• How would you agree on goals and evaluate the work?

Ask for a clear scope rather than relying on the label “AI SEO.” Review the proposed deliverables, approval responsibilities and evaluation plan before proceeding.
