Using ChatGPT with WordPress: What’s Possible?
Everyone seems to be obsessed with AI these days. Whether you are a fan or not, AI capabilities like ChatGPT, can make your life easier if you let them, particularly alongside other technology. In this article, I will be focusing on how ChatGPT is transforming how WordPress users write content, boost SEO, and engage visitors. Here’s a breakdown of what’s possible right now and how to use it.
1. Generating Content
Good content should be at the heart of every website. To get started, decide what content you want to focus on. Here are some examples:
- Blog post
- Product description
- Landing page copy
- Category or tag descriptions
You may want to start with a basic outline of what you want to include. You can have ChatGPT write the content or just edit it. Often I will write my own draft with original ideas and then have ChatGPT clean it up. Although I consider myself to be a fairly good writer, I find ChatGPT often has a more concise way to say what I’m thinking.
Another approach is to start with a prompt and then edit what ChatGPT gives you. An example of a strong prompt for a blog post would be:
“Write a 600 word blog post about ‘Top 8 SEO Tips for WordPress in 2025’. Include a catchy intro, a numbered list with subheadings, and a conclusion with a call-to-action.”
AI can produce great drafts, but you should always:
- Check facts and sources
- Add internal/external links
- Run it through Grammarly for tone
- Optimize for SEO (keywords, alt text, meta descriptions)
2. SEO & Optimization Tasks
AI can take the grunt work out of basic SEO optimization. You can use it to:
- Generate SEO titles/meta descriptions
- Create schema markup (FAQ, Article, Product, etc.)
- Write ALT tags for images
- Find keywords
ChatGPT can also help you audit content and suggest updates based on trends or outdated info. A good prompt would be: “Review this blog post and suggest improvements for SEO and readability.”
3. Engaging Visitors
The easiest way to engage visitors with AI is to install a plugin. Popular plugins include:
- AI Engine (by Jordy Meow) – Offers a ChatGPT-like chatbot and content generation.
- Chatbot with OpenAI GPT – Lightweight and easy to set up.
- WPBot AI Chatbot – Offers AI-powered support and FAQs.
