Using ChatGPT to help with SEO

chatGPT

Introduction Let’s jump on the hype train with ChatGPT before it’s too late. Arguably we are already passed the Turing station so let’s hop on and see what we can learn. ChatGPT is a variant of OpenAI’s GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) language processing model, specifically designed for dialog systems. It is capable of generating human-like responses in a conversation. Give it a prompt or context and get a human like response. ChatGPT is trained on a large dataset of human-human conversations and has the ability to generate a diverse range of natural and fluid responses. You can apparently use ChatGPT for anything you want so let’s start by asking ChatGPT about its abilities. In this article I am going to test OpenAI’s chatbot to see if it can help me with SEO. Using ChatGPT for SEO First of all let’s check if it knows what SEO is about. OK, it passed the first test with a great explanation – a very straight forward answer. Now I am going to ask its opinion on how can it help me with SEO. With this great answer I’m almost convinced that it can do it all, but let’s go further and test that theory. Next, I asked it to provide some relevant keywords for a Software company website. Here are some relevant keywords that a software company might want to consider targeting for SEO: By incorporating these keywords into the content and meta tags of your website, you can help improve its visibility and ranking in search results for these terms. It’s important to keep in mind that the specific keywords you should target will depend on the products and services your company offers, as well as the specific audience you are trying to reach. Google Search Console with ChatGPT My next curiosity is if it knows how to handle Google Search Console, a pretty major tool for SEO. Now that we know it is aware of what Google Search Console is, let’s ask it if it knows how to index a page with this tool. How to index a page with Google Search Console? To index a page with Google Search Console, follow these steps: Keep in mind that it may take some time for the page to be indexed, and there is no guarantee that it will be indexed. Google will only index pages that it considers to be of high quality and that are relevant to its users. Overall, using Google Search Console can help you monitor and improve your website’s performance in Google search results. Once again an amazing answer by ChatGPT. It seems that by now everything that I asked it, it had  provided a very precise explanation for what I needed to find out. Generate meta descriptions with ChatGPT The next question that I have: Can it create a meta description for a page that I will provide, because if it can do that, it will be pretty useful, am I right? I will go and copy the URL from ideahub.ro and I will tell ChatGPT to generate a meta description for this page. Would you look at that? Amazing, it has just generated an unique meta description and besides that, it has also explained it. Optimize text with ChatGPT Until now, this engine has proved to me that it is dangerously smart. Let’s see if he can optimize a piece of text from www.ideahub.ro. So I will just go and pick a piece of text from the homepage, the one in the image below, and I will place it in the ChatGPT’s chat. Let’s jump to the results. Here is a possible version of the text optimized for SEO: “Looking for a reliable software development team with a proven track record of satisfied clients? Look no further! Our experienced, agile team is dedicated to delivering against each unique requirement through transparent communication and close collaboration with our clients and their internal teams. As a self-managed team of problem solvers, we thrive on challenging projects and enjoy researching and finding the best solutions to meet the specific needs and goals of our customers.” Here are some ways that this text has been optimized for SEO: -Make the text more reader-friendly by using shorter sentences, and separate ideas. -Make the text sound like the brand is solution oriented and client oriented. Please keep in mind that SEO optimization is a constantly changing practice and search engines are always adapting to new algorithms, it’s important to regularly update your website and check for best SEO practices. Love the soft note at the end. Spoken like a true expert: nothing is absolute unless it’s obsolete. This was just a small example of how ChatGPT can help tackle everyday tasks. The possibilities are endless it seems and it’s the greatest mixture of scary and exciting times!

Nowadays we spend a lot of time on phones or laptops, they bring both pluses and minuses, that’s why we leave you some tips below when you want to download a new application to be safe all the time. Important tips to consider when downloading an app:

4*9+1/2 Work Schedule

Work schedule

Is a 3-day weekend the key to a balanced life? During the pandemic, we got to experience working remotely. Luckily, in our type of work, it was pretty easy to adjust. However, after some time, it was becoming difficult to disconnect and the lines between work and personal life started to blur.  So, how do we make sure everyone gets a healthy balance and keeps her/his skills on the cutting edge of tech? At IdeaHub we decided to implement a 4-day 9-hour work schedule followed by 4 hours of self-improvement time Friday dedicated to learning and trying new tech.The idea was to offer flexibility and to give everyone enough time to rest and have some fun during the extended weekend. The employees still have access to the same benefits and receive the same salary as if they had a traditional schedule because they work the same number of hours. Our colleagues have already experienced this work program for about 3 months and the consensus is WE LIKE IT. The key benefits – Productivity: coming into work fully recharged makes a big difference and keeps away the Monday blues – Employee retention and improved recruitment: people are looking for flexibility, so offering an extra day off makes a difference – Mental health: employees are happier and less stressed. Free Fridays allow employees to take care of their personal tasks – we all know that running around town with errands and trying to get back to your next meeting is a hectic mess and bad use of PTO – Stronger team: the program could not succeed without shared accountability and ownership. We clarified how we communicate and make sure issues do not go unsolved and made a clear plan on how to support each other Challenges Of course, there are some challenges, but none were a deal-breaker:– inequality between workers: this program may not work for all employees. Adopting the new work schedule was optional and it depended on the individual to truly understand whether it fits them – downtime and availability: Yes, sometimes there is work on Friday – but exceptions have solutions. For some projects, it was as easy as a round-robin assignment of support and for others building a tiered leveled support If a compressed work week doesn’t turn out to be your dream schedule, give yourself permission to return to a standard work week. But if you can, make sure to try it out, and don’t be afraid to experiment. 

Hacktm 2022

Our experience at Hacktm 2022

Uncorporated – we lead (well… code)  from the frontAt IdeaHub everybody is a developer from the project manager to the owners. And we do it because we like to code. Same for our good friend Adrian, who is a founder of another startup in Timisoara.  Our Project This weekend Silvia and me, the co-owners of Ideahub participated at #hacktm2022 and we want to thank the organizers Banat IT for doing an excellent job, as always. We had a great time at the event and we are grateful for all the work they did during the years. As for our project, we were a team of three people and our project called ChargeE is meant to simplify the micropayments solutions for car-centric services, especially for electric vehicle charging stations by allowing people to pay with their cars alone. Since initiating and paying for a charging station takes an average of 5 minutes to do while a charging session is about 50 minutes, we estimate our solution is able to increase the availability of charging infrastructure for electric cars by about ten percent.  The payByCarFace system that we propose requires no additional equipment in the car as we developed Machine Learning algorithms in Python that recognize license plate, color, and the overall shape of the car. To increase the security of the solution, our algorithm continuously checks for anomalies after the charge/paynment is initiated and will stop the process if we identify fraud. Applications We coded three separate applications1. A mobile application in ReactNative that serves as the electronic wallet and information center for the entire system. The important thing was to make sure the phone is not necessary to initiate payments, so other persons (employees, parents) can use it seamlessly. 2. The backend was built in Java Spring / React and hosted on a bare metal server we owned. We actually created the entire thing in JHipster www.jhipster.tech with a UML (in this case JDL) first approach. 3. A python application that does the machine vision and is meant to be used both on a RaspberryPy 4 and the AWS Lambda via Docker for continuous checks. In just 60 hours our team of three people ended up with:– 500 lines of Python code– 10.000 lines of Java (out of which we have written about 1000 ourselves)– 6500 lines of Typescript (about 700 written by us)————–Bottom line, between the three of us we wrote 2200 lines of code in three very different languages, and all the three applications functioned well via RestAPI in three separate environments(Mobile, Ubuntu and Raspberry). Did I mention we also put CI on it because… DevOps dreams are made with this. Events such as these give us the opportunity to test new technologies before we ask our colleagues to work with them, we certainly hope your current manager is also in love with coding… or perhaps you want to try and join a full developer team for a change because we are always searching for new colleagues.
