Most SEO agencies offered you glorified Google Sheets, sprinkled with strategy decks and $3,000 invoices. I know because I paid for them. And their strategy never bring a big change. Then I spent $10 on a few AI tools, stitched together a weekend workflow, and watched one post outrank three agency campaigns. No backlinks, domain authority, and 10x content, just smart AI + common sense.
Why SEO Agencies Failed
The old SEO model is broken for two reasons:
- Google is changing faster than agencies can adapt.
- AI gives you a real advantage if you know how to use it.
Agencies still sell you keyword spreadsheets and editorial calendars. But Google is rewarding topic depth, semantic relationships, and user intent signals — stuff most agencies aren’t optimizing for yet.
You don’t need 10 articles and 50 backlinks. You need one AI-powered post that:
- Nails intent
- Covers semantic clusters
- Triggers Google’s helpful content signals
- Feeds the new Search Generative Experience (SGE)
The Exact Workflow
Step 1: Use ChatGPT to Create an Entity-Driven Outline
Prompt:
“Act as an SEO expert. Create a long-form article outline targeting the keyword ‘[your topic]’. Include semantic entities, user intent questions, and related subtopics that signal topical depth.”
It will give you gold. You’re not just writing for keywords anymore — you’re writing for language models + search engine comprehension.
Step 2: Feed the outline into Neuron Writer or Frase.
Paste the outline and let these tools analyze it:
- Related NLP terms
- Missing topical coverage
- Competitive phrase usage
This tells you how to shape your paragraphs and where to inject keywords without keyword stuffing.
Step 3: Rewrite With AI Loops for Freshness
Don’t just write once and publish. Use a rewrite loop:
“Rewrite this paragraph to sound more human, add a metaphor, and improve scannability.”
You’ll outrank “SEO-optimized” agency junk that still sounds like it was written by a junior freelancer with ChatGPT 3.5.
Step 4: Inject Real Signals (Examples, Screenshots, Custom Insight)
This is your unfair advantage. AI gets you 90% there.
Then you drop in:
- Screenshots from your process
- Real metrics or analytics
- Custom graphs or Loom videos
- Personal anecdotes (like this article)
That’s what makes Google trust your content more than a $3,000 agency post.
Step 5: Publish, Submit, Track — and Tweak Weekly
- Push to WordPress or Webflow
- Submit to Google Search Console manually.
- Watch coverage and indexing
- Improve weak paragraphs based on what ranks
Set a reminder to review rankings every 7 days. Small tweaks matter post-indexing.
Ranking Above 3 Agencies… From Scratch
That article I wrote?
- Ranked in Position #3 in 18 days
- Got into Google’s SGE snippet
- 4x time-on-page over agency content
- Drove 600+ email signups with one CTA
My cost: ~$10.
My time: 5 hours.
Their budget: $3K.
Their results? Buried.
It’s not the AI. It’s What You Feed It.
Everyone’s using ChatGPT. What matters now is how well you prompt, structure, and signal. Most people still treat AI as a lazy copywriter.
Use it as a semantic engine, research analyst, and SEO detective — and you’ll smoke 80% of content teams still stuck in 2020.
