On-page and Off-page SEO & AI

[seatplan.io]

The interesting thing is how AI is changing the technical side, not just the writing. I’ve been using AI to auto-generate Schema markup and structured data for thousands of pages at once.
Off-page is trickier, though. I feel like link velocity is being watched much more closely now. If an AI site suddenly generates 500 pages and gets 50 links in a week, that looks incredibly unnatural compared to how a human site grows.

I think the impact on Local SEO is being overlooked here. AI is terrible at understanding local nuances.
For national keywords, AI is fine. But for 'plumbers in [City Name]', I've seen AI hallucinate service areas and even make up local landmarks. For local businesses, manual on-page optimization is still king because you need that specific geographic accuracy that LLMs just don't have yet.

It feels like our roles have shifted from Writers to Editors.
On-page is definitely easier. You can generate a topical map in minutes. But Off-page? That is becoming a nightmare. Outreach emails written by AI are so obvious and get deleted instantly. I feel like relationship-based link building is the only safe harbor left

Totally agree with the points above. I've noticed that AI is great for brainstorming titles and outlines, but if you rely on it for the final output, the bounce rate is terrible. Humans still need to hook the reader

You will need a babysitter though.
