Automate the Boring Stuff
SEO optimization is no longer just a checklist of H1s and alt tags. With AI, you can scale smart on-page and technical SEO without scaling headcount. This guide offers AI prompts, workflows, and tactics for SaaS startups and ventures ready to integrate “Robot, meet Robot” into how they rank.
🧠 Why On-Page SEO Feels Like a Time Suck (And Why It Shouldn’t)
Let’s get real. Founders and content teams at SaaS companies understand the basics: correct headers, alt tags, internal links. But keeping up with SEO hygiene across hundreds of product pages or blog entries? That’s where things fall apart.
Most orgs don’t have the bandwidth—or clear ownership—to maintain optimization as a recurring task. That’s why it’s time to automate. With AI, you can:
- Scan content at scale for missed SEO signals
- Identify technical issues and metadata gaps
- Prompt fixes (or even generate them) in seconds
This isn’t about replacing your SEO strategist. It’s about giving them a robot sidekick.
🔍 AI Optimization for On-Page SEO: Prompt RecipesCreativity
Here are 5 prompts SaaS teams can use with tools like ChatGPT or Claude to scale SEO hygiene.
1. Meta Optimization
Prompt:
“Act as an SEO specialist. Based on the page title and content below, suggest a meta title (under 60 characters) and meta description (under 160 characters) optimized for high click-through.”
2. H1-H3 Structure Audit
Prompt:
“Here is the HTML from a webpage. Audit the heading structure and suggest improvements for hierarchy and keyword optimization.”
3. Alt Tag Fixes
Prompt:
“Return a list of all images in the HTML below missing alt tags. For each, generate a relevant, descriptive alt text that includes at least one secondary keyword.”
4. Internal Linking Suggestions
Prompt:
“Given this blog post, suggest three internal links to other pages on our SaaS website that match intent and anchor text.”
5. Keyword Frequency Feedback
Prompt:
“Review this article and identify the target keyword. Suggest if keyword usage is too low, too high, or just right based on SEO best practices.”
These are simple, repeatable, and can be trained into workflows for your content or dev teams.
🛠️ AI Optimization Workflows for SaaS Teams
1. Lightweight Weekly SEO Check
Tools: ChatGPT + Screaming Frog Export
- Export site crawl from Screaming Frog (CSV)
- Run bulk prompts via Sheets + GPT (via API or GPTs)
- Flag issues: missing titles, long meta descriptions, duplicate H1s
2. Onboarding Optimization for New Pages
Tools: Notion + Claude + CMS (e.g. Webflow)
- Set SOP for publishing: “every blog post gets run through the 5 prompts”
- Save prompts inside Notion playbook
- Run and paste output back into CMS manually (or automate via Zapier)
3. Optimization Review Sprint (Quarterly)
Tools: GA4, GSC, ChatGPT, Asana
- Pull pages with declining traffic or CTR
- Create Asana tasks per page with ChatGPT prompt recipes included
- Assign to copywriters, PMMs, or devs depending on issue
🧩 Technical SEO? AI Can Help There Too
Most AI workflows can also support dev-led fixes. Try these prompts for deeper technical issues:
Prompt for robots.txt and sitemap review:
“Here is our current robots.txt and sitemap. Are there crawlability or indexing issues we should fix?”
Prompt for Core Web Vitals suggestions:
“Based on the Lighthouse report below, suggest plain-language fixes to improve Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift.”
Prompt for schema generation:
“Write JSON-LD schema markup for a SaaS product page, including product name, review rating, and pricing.”
🤝 Robot, Meet Robot: Humans + AI Do It Best
AI optimization for SaaS SEO doesn’t replace your strategist. It makes them faster. Clearer. More focused.
Instead of: “Fix all the H1s manually,” your team now does: “Use this workflow. Here’s the prompt.”
This is what AI is for. Not magic. Just leverage.
