Key Points

  • The post asks SEO practitioners to share which SEO tasks they are currently automating using AI tools or AI agents, and to compare real-world results versus theoretical expectations.
  • It seeks details on the workflows that provide the biggest time savings, including whether users rely on off-the-shelf AI tools, custom GPTs/Claude workflows, Zapier/Make automations, or fully autonomous agents.
  • The author lists a range of possible automation areas such as keyword clustering, topical mapping, internal linking suggestions, technical SEO audits, schema generation, content briefs, programmatic SEO, competitor analysis, E-E-A-T optimization, GEO/AI search optimization, reporting, and local SEO.
  • Respondents are also encouraged to specify which tasks still require substantial human involvement and to share failures or approaches that did not work.
  • Overall, the goal is to identify where AI genuinely improves SEO workflows and where human expertise still outperforms automation.

I’ve been exploring how AI tools and AI agents can actually reduce manual SEO work beyond just basic content generation.

Curious to know from people actively working in SEO:

  • Which SEO tasks are you automating right now?
  • What workflows are giving you the biggest time savings?
  • Are you using simple AI tools, custom GPTs, Claude workflows, Zapier/Make automations, or fully autonomous agents?
  • Which tasks still need heavy human involvement?

Some areas I’m personally thinking about:

  • Keyword clustering
  • Topical map generation
  • Internal linking suggestions
  • Technical SEO audits
  • Schema generation
  • Content briefs
  • Programmatic SEO
  • Competitor analysis
  • EEAT optimization
  • GEO / AI search optimization
  • Reporting & client updates
  • Local SEO tasks

Would love to hear:

  • Real use cases
  • Stack/tools you use
  • What works vs what sounds good in theory
  • Things you tried that completely failed

Trying to understand where AI genuinely improves SEO workflows and where humans still outperform automation.
