Survey - Does AI increases SEO productivity ?

[l_martin]

We asked around 100 people this question.

The answer they gave us didn't much surprise us. They said yes productivity is increased around 4x times. But has the product quality increased? They countered us with this same or related question. 

Often it is seen that you are doing the work of 10 with AI. But the work is either wrong or of very poor quality.

AI needs constant "BABY SITTING". Whether you are producing content or code.

In long term they are creating fatigue among AI users. So, users either revert back to doing things manually or hire somebody to deal with the AI. 

What's your take on this?

I found it easy to do all writing myself. Because I am thinking that AI is giving high quality content but in reality it is quite the opposite.

First produce content. Then trim out and edit it takes more time and resources. Instead if you write it yourself you will need few grammatical corrections that's all.

What you wrote is true. But I also find it interesting since it can generate ideas of content. But good content ideas are close to nil that is also true.

I highly doubt that AI learns anything. It just copies and re-writes things. It doesn't have the ability to produce yes maybe to think to some extnet but not produce. It can be extremely useful to ramp content ideas but not the other way around.

I’ve seen AI cut a lot of the boring stuff, especially quick audits, content outlines, and sorting keywords. I still tweak everything by hand, but it speeds things up a lot.

I’ve had solid results boosting steady organic traffic by getting premium SEO links, especially from niche forums where the discussions already match my audience. The contextual placement feels natural, and the traffic I get tends to stick around longer and engage more. What helped most was choosing links that follow forum rules so nothing gets flagged or removed later.

I use AI to speed up keyword checks and outline ideas, then I fine‑tune everything myself. It saves me time, but I still rely on manual edits for quality.
