How Can AI Help My Website?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) seems to be the new “buzz phrase” lately. And although we’re not convinced AI is the answer for building websites from scratch, we DO think it can help in a lot of ways during and after your website build. See below for 5 ways you can leverage AI to help your website.

1. Help You Understand Your Visitors Better

Think of your website like your store: people come in, look around, and either take action (call, buy, sign up) or leave. AI tools can track and analyze what visitors do on your site—what they click, how long they stay, and what page made them leave. This data helps you:

• See what’s working (and what’s not)

• Make better decisions about your content or layout

• Understand your customers better without having to guess

2. Improve Customer Service (Even When You’re Sleeping)

AI chatbots can answer common questions for you, 24/7. They can take care of the basics like:

• Business hours

• Service details

• Booking or order status

• Collecting leads while you’re away

• Answering common questions from users

Today’s AI chatbots are much smarter than they used to be. They can learn from conversations and get better over time without needing constant updates.

3. Help You With Content

Struggling with blog posts, product descriptions, or social media updates? AI writing assistants can help you brainstorm, outline, or even draft content based on your ideas. Basically, you stay in control – you review and tweak the final version, but the heavy lifting gets a lot lighter. This is especially useful for small business owners who know what they want to say, but don’t have time to write it all out.

4. Help Your Website Rank Higher on Google

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is key to getting found online. AI tools can help analyze your website and suggest:

• Keywords to target

• Page improvements

• Ways to speed up your site

Keep Your Website Safe and Running Smoothly

Security and performance might not be the most exciting parts of a website, but they definitely matter. AI can help protect your site from hackers, fix issues before they become problems, and  monitor uptime so your site stays online and loads quickly. Here’s what AI can do behind the scenes:

• Detect unusual activity or attempted hacks and block them

• Scan for broken links or outdated plugins

• Automatically optimize images or code to speed up your site

Ultimately, AI can be a practical, cost-effective way to improve your website and your business. Whether it’s answering questions faster, showing up better in search, or just saving you hours of work, AI can be a powerful tool to help with the success of your website.
