I'm working on https://abun.com, a tool that would get you ranked on Google without lifting a finger. It's still not right there where I'd want it to be. Trying to push those features as fast as I can.

The funny thing is that abun.com only ranks for two keywords according to KeySearch. "blog ai writer" and "abun", with "blog ai writer" bringing 260 visits a month. If the tool worked so well, I would have guessed that you would be dominating SERPs. Good luck destroying the web, Junaid Bhai!
That's correct. It has been less than a month since I have started publishing blog articles on Abun. It would take a few months for blogs to start ranking on Google which will gradually improve in ranking over the course of time.

The idea is not to write just any articles, but rather the ones that suit your industry targeting your ideal customer profile. This ensures that whatever users come to your website were searching for that specific term & would find relevant content on your blog. This is currently even possible using ChatGPT. The user will have to use the generated article & manually add parameters of E-E-A-T which will also start ranking on Google. I am just trying to automate it so that you do not have to invest time doing that manually.

What you say here doesn't match what you say on your site. Nor does it match what little I saw about E-E-A-T when I just searched for it.

You may very well have something interesting going on, but it sounds too much like a new spin on SEO snake oil, so you probably are not telling your story very well.

Thank you for pointing that out. I will update the communication on the website so it is better understood.

It is only recent that I have started talking about Abun. There are alot of things that I'd like the product to have before boasting about it's features. If you want to checkout everything Abun has to offer, I'd be happy to upgrade you to a paid plan. I'd appreciate if you could provide some constructive criticism on it.

I'm sure this is "normal" industry practice (not like I'd know since I've never tried doing SEO), but having a service that just uses AI to generate articles/blog posts for you just so you can have a better SEO rank seems, unpleasant.

I just don't like that people and businesses are using AI to create articles about "choosing the right video editing software" just for better SEO ranking.

At present one can just submit a topic to ChatGPT and generate an entire article on their own. But that's not sufficient enough to fit the parameters of E-E-A-T which helps rank your page/post on Google.

In the above example, you are correct it would not be as relevant as it should be. But in cases like How to achieve X, it would be more relevant or maybe where a visitor is just trying to understand a subject that has nothing to do with listing brand names. I am trying to tap into long-tail keywords that can help rank quickly rather than the Listicle articles. Apart from that I'm also trying to customize different types of articles based on our current users who are sharing feedbacks.

May I ask if you have created blog posts which drives traffic? Do you realistically feel that as a founder have invest time into writing articles all by yourself consistently everyday for your website? In my experience, you really do not get that amount of time to dedicate for Blog generation & SEO. This has been the same problem with me as well. So if AI could help you achieve some part of it, why not leverage it to start driving organic traffic.
