I’m still staring at my Search Console dashboard trying to figure out if this is a glitch or if I actually stumbled onto something huge. In the last few months, our web views have spiked by about 7593%.
It all started because I was completely burnt out on the manual grind of SEO—the keyword research, the internal linking, the constant content refreshing. I decided to stop doing it myself and spent a few weeks setting up an AI agent to basically act as an "SEO operator."
I didn't just have it write blog posts. I tried to build a logic where the agent was constantly scanning our existing pages to find "semantic gaps"—places where we mentioned a concept but didn't fully explain it or link to a relevant resource. I let it run wild with internal link automation and entity mapping, which are things I usually ignore because they're so tedious.
What I’ve been trying to refine in this "action plan" for the agent is basically three things:
First, I had it focus on "Entity-First" content. Instead of chasing high-volume keywords, it was looking for clusters of topics that the LLMs seem to value for "authority."
Second, I set up a loop where it would automatically refresh old content based on new search trends it picked up in real-time, rather than waiting for a monthly audit.
Third, I let it handle the "technical relevance" side—automatically updating schema and metadata to match how AI engines are now parsing site data.
The results have been insane, but honestly, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’m constantly worried that this level of automation is going to trigger some kind of "unhelpful content" flag, even though the engagement metrics seem solid for now.
I’m still trying to figure out if this is the "new normal" for 2025/2026 or if I’m just riding a temporary wave. Has anyone else experimented with letting an agent handle the actual strategic execution of SEO rather than just using AI as a writing assistant? I’d love to know if anyone has seen this kind of scale and actually managed to keep it stable long-term.
