March 5: Understanding Search 123: Focus on AI
Host: Molly Youngblood (Twitter)

Q1:   Have you integrated AI with your SEO strategies?
Q2:   Have you used AI with your SEO content?
Q3:   How are you using AI for technical SEO?

I don’t integrate anything at my side. But as I know Google use machine learning (AI) from 2018. But always with human controls, and as I know after first announcing oh AI at Google they tried even to “delegate” every SERP on AI and then there was a lot of troubles..

You can use AI generated content for pretty much any topic or any industry, one of the benefits of AIPRM is you can create courses for education, you can create content for marketing and can be used for all industries and businesses #OnEBoardChat

Hello @GetchaSEO in theory you can publish content straight up form AI Tools, however, typically I will take this content and revise it including adding relevant longtail keywords and then publish just to make sure it has a "human" touch :) #OnEBoardChat

A2. I mainly use AI for content evaluation, more than content creation.
1. Content evaluation scoring based upon Google's content guidelines documentation.
2. Keyword research
3. Title and description, evaluation and development#OnEBoardChat

March 12 : Backing up your content

Host: Peggy K (Twitter)

Q1:   How do you back up your content (photos, documents, web pages, videos)? Do you use backup tools? Do you store a copy offline or only in the cloud?
Q2:   When you create content online (for example: Instagram Reels editor, Google Docs, Twitter Tweets, etc) do you download your creation or otherwise back it up?
Q3:   How often do you back up your content? And how often do you access your backed up content?

A2 I ask myself: would I miss it if I lost access to my account or inadvertently deleted it? With that in mind I occasionally back up from my online services like YouTube, Google Docs, Twitter etc. I copy the downloaded archives to my external hard drive. #OnEBoardChat #backup

— Peggy K (@PeggyKTC) March 12, 2023

A2. When I create content i usually download it to Google drive folders. But I will sometimes download it to my mobile device if I want to upload to different social media accounts#OnEBoardChat

— Mark Barrus (@MarkBarrusHypno) March 12, 2023

Absolutely agree as a webmaster, especially in the early days. I can't tell you the number of times that I custom coded HTML files and I didn't back it up and it got lost, so important #OnEBoardChat

— Molly Youngblood (@mygeigermeister) March 12, 2023

A2: takeaway
Paid Cloud backups storage services are fast and comfortable to use across devices. #OnEBoardChat #Backups https://t.co/CcqsK9H0so

— Nina Trankova - 🇧🇬4🇺🇦OnEBoardChat (@NinaTrankova) March 12, 2023

Drive is great for tasks and syncing documents. But files are changed when you upload them to Drive, and ideally a true backup should be an archive, not be your active files. And of course that doesn't help if you lose access to your Google account. #backup #OnEBoardChat

I am also unfollowing people on social media I'm not truly interested in seeing content from. It makes no sense to have Tweets or Posts in my feed that I quickly scroll past every time. Some accounts I can't even remember why I followed in the first place. #OnEBoardChat

— Peggy K (@PeggyKTC) March 19, 2023

Priority are emails, I get so many and it is necessary for me to delete so I can save my storage #OnEBoardChat

Custom lines of SEO coding, H1 tags, meta data, JSON- LD, Schema, longtail keyword research, and content, but I usually will revise the content just to make sure it doesn't get dinged #OnEBoardChat, Also using it with @GoogleAds @GoogleMaps and @GoogleMyBiz #OnEBoardChat
