I have been testing AI SEO tools since ChatGPT launched in late 2022. Back then, most SEO professionals were skeptical about using AI for anything beyond basic content tasks. But wow, things have changed fast.These days, 86% of SEO professionals are already using artificial intelligence in their workflows, and honestly, I’m one of them. After putting 15 different tools through their paces (both paid and free options), I can see why 65% of businesses report better campaign results since adopting these tools.But here’s the thing — not every AI-powered SEO solution delivers on its promises.Sure, the hype around “AI for SEO” keeps growing. Statista shows that 49.1% of professionals believe AI will positively impact website search traffic over the next five years. But I’ve found that many companies are just slapping “AI-powered” labels on their existing features to stay competitive.
