Artificial Intelligence (AI) and neural networks are being increasingly used in SEO tools and search engine algorithms. A breakthrough for SEO came with the introduction of the Google BERT algorithm in 2019, which improved the understanding of context and the completeness of responses to queries.
The breakthrough in the field of SEO has been driven by the availability of powerful language models of artificial intelligence, such as GPT-3 from OpenAI, as well as models from Meta and Google. An important factor has been the expansion of access to these models through open APIs and the ability for local deployment. The widespread availability of AI technologies based on transformer models has been a driving force for new innovations in SEO and has significantly expanded optimization opportunities for search engines. In this article, we propose to consider the results of these processes that we have observed in recent years.
Neural network models are capable of quickly generating large volumes of SEO content - product descriptions, articles, text ads, and more. This allows filling "empty" website pages with high-quality content. However, there are increasing requirements for the uniqueness and expertise of the content, as search engines will scrutinize the most valuable pages more carefully.
Integration of AI chats directly into search engines may reduce the number of clicks on organic search results. This will intensify competition for top search positions.
Neural networks enable rapid analysis of large data sets, identifying SEO trends, keywords, competitor information, and more. This provides an advantage in website optimization.
The use of AI contributes to the improvement of content quality, making it more appealing to both search engines and users, which positively affects the site's positions in search results.
Artificial intelligence helps analyze user behavior in real-time and adapt content according to their individual interests and needs. This improves user experience, engagement, and retention on the website.
Neural networks provide a deeper understanding of the semantics and context of natural language in SEO. Models like GPT-3 analyze content at the level of ideas and concepts, not just individual keywords. This allows creating content relevant to user queries, while search engines better recognize the usefulness of pages.
The introduction of neural networks and their integration with search engines can radically change the search process. Instead of lists of links, users will receive direct answers in the form of dialogues with AI chatbots. Artificial intelligence will analyze the query context and formulate personalized responses.
This transforms SEO from optimizing individual pages to creating comprehensive content for better training search engine neural networks. Competition will shift to competition among data providers, with key criteria being the depth, reliability, and relevance of the information provided.
These changes require a rethinking of SEO strategies and continuous improvement of content in view of the development of artificial intelligence in the search field.
