MarTech Quote-of-the-Week!

Generative AI is the top SEO trend this year, without question. Everyone is trying out AI tools like ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Google’s Bard, and Semrush’s own SEO Writing Assistant. These tools can allow users to scale up their content production, brainstorm topics, generate click-worthy title tags, and lots more. And outside of SEO, other tools are making it so much easier to create images, narrate videos, and even create new videos just by describing them in text. It’s incredible.
