As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly prioritise SEO fixes for your small business website.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, power-user skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open Google Search Console for the website and export the latest available performance data for queries and pages, then note the date range and country filter.
   2. Open Google Analytics 4 and export relevant landing-page, engagement and conversion data, removing or anonymising personal data before sharing it.
   3. Run a crawl with your existing website or SEO tool and export issues covering indexability, broken links, redirects, page titles, headings, canonical tags, sitemap coverage and mobile or performance findings where available.
   4. Write down your main commercial goal, highest-value services or products, target UK locations, important pages and any limits on development time or CMS access.
   5. Paste the exports, crawl findings and business notes into the supplied prompt and ask the chatbot to rank fixes using evidence rather than the number of warnings.
   6. Open each cited URL and compare the proposed issue with the live page, Search Console and Analytics data, marking unsupported claims as unconfirmed.
   7. Apply the first low-risk fix in your CMS or send the technical items to your developer, then record the original issue, change made and date so future performance can be compared.

   Prompt

   Act as an SEO prioritisation assistant for a small UK business website. Use only the evidence I provide and do not invent traffic figures, rankings, technical problems, search volumes or likely outcomes.
   
   Website: [website URL]
   Business and location: [short description]
   Main commercial goal: [for example, more enquiries, bookings or online sales]
   Most valuable products or services: [list]
   Target customers and locations: [description]
   Constraints: [for example, no developer, limited time, cannot change the CMS]
   
   I will paste findings from Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, a site crawl and any relevant page or keyword data below.
   
   [PASTE DATA HERE]
   
   Create a prioritised SEO fix list. For each item include:
   1. The specific page, URL or issue affected.
   2. The evidence supporting it, quoting the supplied data where useful.
   3. The recommended action in plain English.
   4. Expected benefit stated qualitatively only unless the data supports a number.
   5. Implementation difficulty and dependencies.
   6. Risk of making the change.
   7. A suggested priority of now, next or later.
   8. The person or role best placed to make the change.
   
   Separate confirmed problems from hypotheses and missing information. Do not recommend changes solely because a tool calls them an error. Give me the first five actions in order, explain why each outranks the others, and identify which recommendations need a developer or an SEO specialist. Finish with a short list of questions I must answer before acting.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
