SEO Is A Waste of Time in 2025

Manual human SEO is basically dead. That might sound dramatic, but watching how AI can crank out keyword research, content outlines, and optimization tasks in a fraction of the time has convinced me there’s no going back. The days of painstakingly crafting every title, linking strategy, and technical tweak by hand are over—at least if I want to keep up with competitors who embrace these tools.

My focus now is on implementing an AI SEO strategy, where the classic pillars of SEO—on-page, off-page, and technical—still matter, but they become supercharged when AI takes care of the repetitive details. It’s not about making SEO easy; it’s about making it vastly more efficient. Ignoring AI isn’t just missing out on a trend—it’s a surefire way to fall behind.
