Is AI or humans better at generating SEO-optimized titles?

I've just launched this study to hear from SEO experts, about which title would rank better for a specific keyword. One title is generated by AI, and the other is part of an actual, published blog post.

I will be publishing the results in the next week - so stay tuned!

Here's the link to the study: https://www.enwrite.co/study

  1. 1

    There might be some cases where AI have written better SEO optimized titles but human content is far more generic than a machine generated title.

    AI will only transform the way we write, humans have to do the rest

  2. 1

    Anyday human written content is far better. AI can help you with the outlines but after some time they start repeating information in long-form content!

    1. 1

      I completely agree! That's why I built Enwrite that only generates titles, descriptions, outlines, introductions, and descriptions. It's made for writers to be able to save time and still actually do the writing.

      1. 2

        Not gonna lie, you have made something that the market needs at the moment! Congrats on the product!

  3. 1

    Why does your product not adhere to SEO standards when it is supposed to be focused on SEO?

    1. 1

      Actually, it does! I built Enwrite to only generates titles, descriptions, outlines, introductions, and descriptions. It's made for writers to be able to save time and still actually do the writing.

      1. 1

        I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear. It's your own website. I'm trying to get the metatags info using metatags.io. But the description and image is not available. Btw, I just added your product here.

        1. 1

          Oh, sorry. I didn't understand the question. I know it's a small thing to do, but I've skipped the SEO part for the beta stage, as I found other means of user acquisition more effective. When you are working on a project on the side, you have to make these compromises!

    Just be aware that google will penalize low quality AI content now, so it might be good to have some human input as well for the AI.

    AI should be a tool at this stage, not a replacement.

    An example is my website, Evoke, most of the descriptions and meta descriptions are made with ChatGPT, but I vetted them to make sure they were high quality and did some tweaking.

    1. 1

      I am aware of that. My experiment is mostly about the quality of the content since I run a similar product myself, https://www.enwrite.co, which is specifically trained to generate SEO-optimized content.

      1. 2

        Cool! Good luck on your endeavors!

  5. 1

    Amazing! this is something I'm wondering about since ChatGPT launched. I can see there are still issues with creating compelling titles, and sometimes titles are way too long and it doesn't respect character length.

    1. 1

      This is something I've been wondering about as well. My product https://www.enwrite.co is literally optimized to do just that, so it would be nice to see it against an actual human.

      All AI titles are generated from there!
