ChatGPT can also assist with creating lists of keywords and generating schema markup to improve search visibility. However, it should be used with caution due to known issues like disseminating disinformation and unreliable source citation.

Human involvement is necessary in AI SEO software because, while AI can quickly access data, it may not always accurately understand context, nuance, and subjective factors essential to content creation. AI-generated content can lack accuracy in source citation and may not grasp the subtleties required for high-quality content. Therefore, AI SEO tools should be used to complement human content creation, ensuring that the final output maintains high standards and is contextually relevant and engaging.
