ChatGPT has been all over the news lately, with outlets extolling its advantages and cautioning against its pitfalls. What does it all mean? And what are a few simple steps you can take to leverage this tool in your marketing activities?
First things first. ChatGPT, short for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is a chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022. It’s designed to process human-style thought and language patterns and then deliver information in a natural-sounding way. ChatGPT can answer questions and assist you with tasks such as composing emails, social media posts, and code.
ChatGPT is currently available for the public to use for free. As of February 1, 2023, there is also a paid subscription version called ChatGPT Plus.
Here are some ways to leverage this tool as you implement your marketing initiatives.
1. Create Content Faster
Use ChatGPT to help brainstorm copy ideas, conduct research to understand audience needs, develop catchy headlines, prepare outlines, and more. You can also make existing content better by using it to suggest edits and improve readability.
2. Enhance SEO
ChatGPT can help grow your search engine results by generating a list of relevant keywords based on the topic you specify. You can then use those keywords to optimize copy. It can also assist in developing relevant meta descriptions, improve click-through rates on search engine results pages, and help with link building.
3. Optimize Customer Service
We can all agree that responsive customer service makes a huge difference in a brand’s presentation. ChatGPT can answer FAQs, deliver multi-language functionality, and extend coverage to 24/7. Humans can take over for the high-touch, more specific requests. This approach can satisfy customers on all counts.
4. Dial-in Email Marketing
Take advantage of this AI tool to generate personalized email campaigns tailored to customer behavior and preferences. ChatGPT can help perform email segmentation, optimize subject lines, and conduct effective A/B testing, guiding the messages most resonate with each targeted audience.
5. Manage Social Media
ChatGPT can also be used in lieu of some platforms to schedule, streamline, and optimize posting to social media platforms. It can work to ensure your posts address audience behavior, preferences, and peak usage times, as well as provide actionable insights for creating a stronger strategy.

Thoughtfully deployed, ChatGPT is a useful tool to help your business as it continues to make its mark on the world. It requires skilled human support to make the most of its contributions. That said, there are many caveats as you roll out ChatGPT.
- Be aware Google can detect AI content with a digital watermark.
- Note that large universities are paying the original creators of the ChatGPT tool to work on a tool that can detect students using AI content on papers, meaning that in the not-too-distant future, detecting plagiarism will be easier than ever.
- Know that the copy that ChatGPT generates comes from what it has learned from reading the internet, which can lead to incorrect information and the aforementioned plagiarism.
