ChatGPT is a hugely versatile tool. And with the right ideas and a little practice, it can make your marketing workflow more efficient and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article we\u2019ll cover eight of the best ways to use ChatGPT for marketing. We\u2019ll also include specific prompts to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT is a chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI). It uses natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning technology to understand your queries and prompts. And respond to those prompts using a conversational tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, it can answer simple questions like, \u201cWhat planet is known as the \u2018Red Planet\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT can generate all sorts of marketing content, increasing your output and speeding up your production. It\u2019s especially helpful for long-form content like blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the right prompts, you can fine-tune content to match your content marketing or copywriting approach. And fit your target audience or objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start with a simple prompt like \u201cwrite a blog post covering [topic]\u201d to get a first draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use this draft as an outline. Or you can refine your prompt to get a second draft that\u2019s closer to what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add new information like a word count, target keywords, or tone of voice guidelines. ChatGPT will factor all your requests into a redraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Results are imperfect: Unless your prompt is spot-on, the output will need editing. ChatGPT isn\u2019t a mind-reader, so low-detail prompts won\u2019t generate exactly what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT can\u2019t access the internet: So it won\u2019t be able to write about things that have happened since its training, which took place in early 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That means you need to edit heavily and verify any output produced by ChatGPT. Again, use ChatGPT\u2019s drafts as an inspiration instead of the final version of your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the SEO Content Template to generate a blog post brief that meets the search intent for your primary keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paste the brief information (including keywords, suggested content length, and recommended readability) into ChatGPT and request a first draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edit the output manually to flesh out details and check that all the included information is accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Say you\u2019re writing an article about Taylor Swift for a music website. Find relevant keywords with this prompt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And ChatGPT doesn\u2019t have data about keyword volume or difficulty, so you have no way of knowing whether these terms are relevant, popular, or easy to rank for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll then see a list of potential keywords and their search volume and keyword difficulty ( KD ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The search volume column shows you an estimate of how many times a keyword is searched per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the KD tells you how easy or difficult it is to rank for that specific keyword. The keyword \u201cTaylor Swift\u201d has a good search volume (3.4 million searches per month). But is very difficult to rank for at 100% KD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for terms that get over 100 searches per month by entering \u201c100\u201d in the \u201cfrom\u201d field of the volume filter. And find keywords that are easier to rank for by adding \u201c50%\u201d to the \u201cto\u201d field of the KD filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also filter out irrelevant keywords or terms you\u2019re not interested in by using the eye icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you have a list of keywords that you can choose from. That you can rank for with less effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make a shortlist of keywords that you want to use. And add those to your article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am writing an article about [topic]. Give me a list of keywords to include in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use ChatGPT as an editing tool to clean up your content and speed up your production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT can both proofread and make content suggestions. It supports inputs of up to 3,000 words, which means it\u2019s great for blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s what ChatGPT will come up with if you ask it to make your content more playful and casual:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But again, ChatGPT\u2019s potential to hallucinate and make mistakes means it\u2019s not a foolproof editor. And its user interface (UI) isn\u2019t as well-suited to editing content as dedicated editing tools like Grammarly .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because without live visibility into the top search results for keywords, ChatGPT can\u2019t understand current search intent .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider using Semrush\u2019s SEO Writing Assistant to optimize your drafts, instead. The tool will analyze your content for the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That way, your content stays aligned with your brand. And follows all the SEO best practices, giving you a higher chance of ranking better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT can translate text into different languages. You can use this feature to expand your marketing by creating content for different regions in international marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OpenAI didn\u2019t specifically train ChatGPT to do this, so there\u2019s no official list of supported languages. But ChatGPT claims to be able to work with most major world languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also use it to understand how to change specific phrases, like \u201ca piece of cake,\u201d that don\u2019t translate literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or you can fine-tune pay-per-click (PPC)ad copy or brand taglines so they make sense in the cultural context of another language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just be aware, as always, that ChatGPT can make mistakes. Not every translation will be perfectly fluent. And the translated text might lack the personality or nuance of a human translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schema markup (also known as structured data) helps search engines understand the information on a webpage. Google uses schema markup to categorize the site and serve rich results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, how-to markup tells Google that your content offers step-by-step instructions. Google can then present those steps to searchers right on the search engine results page (SERP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or use ChatGPT to generate structured data markup using the recommended format, JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And ChatGPT will tell you what information it needs. And give you placeholder examples to make it easier for you to give it information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Title tags show Google what your webpage is about. In fact, they\u2019re a ranking factor .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should be between 50 and 60 characters so they don\u2019t get cut off in the SERPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Title tags appear in the section of your site\u2019s HTML code. Sites like WordPress or Squarespace will set the title tag automatically when you write a post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also use ChatGPT. Ensure you make the prompt as specific as possible to avoid keyword stuffing. And be careful not to duplicate other titles on your webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Say you\u2019re writing a piece about the best airlines for a travel blog. Type a prompt like this into ChatGPT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGenerate three title tags of no more than 60 characters each for an article about the best airlines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generate three title tags of no more than 60 characters each for an article about [topic]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generate a maximum 60-character title tag that will attract more clicks for an article about [topic]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meta descriptions are summaries that let users know about a webpage\u2019s content. They show up in the SERPs like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meta descriptions are usually about 105 characters. They should include the page\u2019s primary keyword, along with a call to action (CTA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with title tags, sites like WordPress can set meta descriptions automatically. But ChatGPT can also help again here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCreate an SEO meta description of no more than 105 characters for one of the above articles. Include the primary keyword \u2018best airlines,\u2019 along with a call to action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCreate a meta description tag for this article that would appear in the section of the webpage\u2019s code.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT helps with the technical aspects of SEO and website maintenance so you can focus on writing the best possible content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create an SEO meta description of no more than 105 characters for [topic]. Make sure to include the primary keyword [keyword] and a call to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rephrase the following meta description to make it no more than 100 words while still keeping it descriptive: \u201c[meta description]\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a meta description no more than 105 characters about [topic] based on the following title and headers: \u201c[title],\u201d \u201c[header #1],\u201d \u201c[header #2],\u201d \u201c[header #3]\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get more insight into your data by having ChatGPT analyze it. It can help you understand complex marketing data, get the most from dedicated data analysis platforms, and find new insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Say you\u2019re analyzing website performance data using Microsoft Excel. ChatGPT can speed up the process by generating complicated Excel formulas in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also use it to get step-by-step instructions on how to use Excel\u2019s more complicated features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to manipulate your data in a certain way, explain what you want to see and ask ChatGPT how to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT can interpret data directly for you too. Show it raw data or customer feedback with a prompt asking for analysis and it will generate insights instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it has limited value in data analysis tasks because of its chat-based user interface. It\u2019s not as intuitive to use as dedicated data analysis platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s best used as an assistant that helps you make the most of other tools (like Excel in the example above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT is the most sophisticated consumer-facing AI tool we\u2019ve seen. But it has notable limitations\u2014which means it works best as part of a larger toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No access to the internet , which means it can\u2019t provide accurate responses to current SEO or PPC queries or answer questions about brand new topics<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A tendency to hallucinate facts , especially when given leading questions, which makes it unreliable for research<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A reliance on user knowledge and skill , in that its effectiveness depends on how effective your prompts are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you can mitigate some of these limitations. A subscription to ChatGPT Plus unlocks real-time internet access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT is like a digital marketing Swiss Army knife. Its versatility, availability, and growing potential make it useful for any marketer. And it can handle diverse tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it isn\u2019t as good at any of them as dedicated tools. So start by integrating it into your existing workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use it alongside other platforms like the Semrush Keyword Magic Tool , Site Audit , and SEO Content Template to get better marketing results faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
