"Just use AI to do your SEO" — sure, good luck explaining the ranking drop next quarter.
What actually changed in my workflow:
Pulling GSC data, cross-checking DataForSEO volumes, mapping intent across 200 keywords used to be like 2 days of tab-juggling. Now it's 2 hours.
Stack: Perplexity Computer orchestrating GSC + DataForSEO + GA4, structured into Notion. Weekly cron, weekly dashboard.
But the AI doesn't decide which keywords matter. It doesn't know the client's margin per service. It doesn't see that the page ranking #4 is the wrong page to push.
That's still the job. Still takes a brain.
What changed is the ratio. Less time exporting CSVs, more time on decisions that move revenue.
Faster execution + same thinking = higher output per hour.
Not a reason to charge less. It is all about the value, not the time.

Is the next step for AI tools less about generating and more about refining?
Lately, I’ve been noticing a shift. Newer tools aren’t just producing designs, they’re starting to feel more editable and structured.
I tried Wonder, a relatively new AI design tool, to create an editorial magazine homepage.
The result was surprisingly decent, but what stood out more was how easy it was to refine.
Every element is organized into layers and folders, making adjustments feel intuitive rather than frustrating. Still early, but definitely one to watch.
Process included in the comments.
What matters more to you, speed or control?
i'll say both of them can have places where they work. i love the one with motion though
I don't have extra time to offer web design as a service but can AI actually help me offer more services by making an efficient use of my time? 🤔
I tested Wonder to create a landing page for skincare brand, something I do not offer as a service because I don't have time but that I get requested a lot.
First impression, it is fast and surprisingly intuitive to get something on screen. The structure comes together quickly, and it is easy to translate a brand into a layout.
But once you move past the first draft, things get interesting, you can't imagine how easy it is to edit! 🤯 Honestly, this sits somewhere between a prototyping tool and a real workflow extension.
Curious, would you use something like this to expand your services?
Yes its truly amazing. i use for my component variation and here it generated
