Why Your Business Shouldn’t Rely on AI for your Website and Blog Content

AI-website-blog-content

AI tools are becoming more accessible and approximately 40% of global business owners are currently using AI. While these tools may be fast and affordable, relying exclusively on AI for customer-facing content is a mistake. Strong and effective content does more than just fill the space, it must build trust, drive traffic and convent visitors into leads—all requiring a level of industry understanding and strategic insight AI simply cannot provide. Here’s why your business shouldn’t rely solely on AI for content creation for your website copy and blog content.

It Lacks Industry Expertise and Context

AI tools don’t have the hands-on knowledge of how your individual business operates. No matter what your business, your services are highly specialized, and AI doesn’t know the nuances of your service area, seasonal challenges or specific terminology your customers use when describing their problems.

This lack of context results in content that sounds generic, or worse yet, inaccurate. Your customers aren’t looking for vague services descriptions, they’re searching for someone who understands their needs and knows how to solve their problems. Only a professional copywriter/content creator can consistently deliver that level of relevance and detail.

It’s Missing the Human Touch and Brand Voice

One of the most important aspects of your content is tone. Your business is built on trust, reliability and personal connection and your website and blog should reflect this. AI-generated content can mimic tone to a degree, but it doesn’t understand your brand voice, or know how you talk to your customers.

An experienced copywriter takes the time to understand your business and shapes messaging that truly reflects your business. Your content should align with how you actually serve your clients—and that requires a human touch.

There are SEO Gaps

You may believe AI will help you improve SEO, but without a strategy behind it, AI-generate content can fall flat. It often focuses on keyword stuffing rather than user intent, lacks a clear structure, doesn’t optimize for featured snippets and misses essential on-page elements like internal and outbound links, meta descriptions and calls to action.

A professional copywriter understands how to write for your SEO needs and your audience. This includes targeting location-based keywords, addressing common customer questions and building content that supports your overall marketing goals.

You Risk Inaccuracies and Loss of Trust

AI tools are prone to factual errors, especially if your subject is technical. There is a high risk that AI will get it wrong or offer outdated advice. Rephrasing, filler content, and overuse of the same words in each post are also common problems which can damage your credibility with both search engines and potential customers.

Your online content should do more than explain your services; it should guide your audience toward taking action. That requires a deep understanding of your industry, your customers’ pain points, objections and decision-making processes. AI can’t strategize around this or highlight your competitive advantages the way a copywriter can. You need copy that sounds real and offers true value.

How to Increase your SEO Rank in Voice Searches

Keeping up with all the changes in today’s technology isn’t easy. Business owners have to stay on their toes to maintain their edge over their competitors. One of the up-and-coming trends is voice searches. People are using Alexa and Siri and other voice-activated search tools to help find answers to their burning questions.

Here is an article I’m sharing from Joan Stewart at The Publicity Hound on “How to Rank Well for Voice Search.”

“Hey Siri, how can a mother help a colicky baby?” asks a reporter who’s writing a story for Parents magazine.

If you’re a parenting expert who has written a blog post on “How mothers can help colicky babies,” your article has a chance of being found in voice search.

Here’s a super tip from Website Magazine on how to rank well when people are searching by voice, as well as by typing their questions into the search engines. Continue reading →

Warning: Google’s October 2017 Deadline for SSL Certificates

Google-not-secure-warningIf your website receives text input (like eCommerce) but does not have an SSL certificate, come October 2017 Google Chrome will begin “punishing” sites by posting a red “Not Secure” warning visible to anyone seeking out your website.

This means that your website address must read “https” at the beginning of its address, rather than “http”. When secure, the “s”, along with a lock icon will appear in the header bar in your web address.

Sensitive text input such as passwords and credit card information are vulnerable on unencrypted sites, and the “Not Secure” warning is a Continue reading →

The Two Best Ways to Market Online: Guest Post

The Two Best Ways to Market Online

online-marketing-graphicI hate the word “marketing.”

Whenever I use it in conversation, I immediately see the person I’m talking to lose interest. His or her eyes glaze over, he gives a canned response like “Oh cool,” and I know he isn’t listening anymore.

And I don’t blame him.

What does the word “marketing” even mean? I hardly even know what it means, and I do it for a living.

The fact of the matter is, the term “marketing” has become a vague, meaningless term from decades of overuse. You see self-styled gurus on Facebook offering reports on: “Top 7 Secrets of Marketing,” or “The Content Marketing Hacks That Made Me My First Million.” And you see YouTube ads trying to sell training courses and webinars about how you too can make millions from home simply by starting a digital marketing agency.

But none of us really even knows what they mean by marketing. Continue reading →

Google’s Rules on “Duplicate Content”

Do_Not_DuplicateAny good web designer or web copywriter will tell you that you cannot have duplicate content on your site. They’re right–in most cases.

According to Google, “Duplicate content refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar.” This means that when writing good web copy, each page should be original and blocks of copy should not be repeated within your site.

Why Keywords Matter for SEO

why_keywords_are_important_for_SEOAlthough the rules of search engine optimization (SEO) change frequently, one thing remains constant: the need for content that is keyword-relevant.

Not 20 years ago, it was easy to get noticed with your own website. But now that there are more than 1 billion websites on the World Wide Web, it is increasingly difficult to grab your audience’s attention and get them to click on your site. Continue reading →
