After about seven months of using agentic tools in my SEO workflow, I’ve ended up with a pretty clear dividing line.

I still reach for Screaming Frog when I need to investigate what’s actually happening on a site and Ahrefs for keyword, backlink, and competitor research.

Agents have been much more useful on the execution side.

The biggest improvement is shortening this:

find issue → export → ticket → wait

into:

find issue → review → implement → measure

I’ve been using Otterly AI for tracking AI visibility across ChatGPT and other answer engines, and Ryze AI for some of the execution side because it can take certain audit findings closer to implementation. I treat both as additions to the workflow rather than replacements for rankings, traffic, or human judgment.

Where I still don’t trust agents is context.

A technically weak page might be strategically important. Two pages that look duplicative to a crawler might intentionally serve different audiences.

The biggest gain for me hasn’t been AI generated content. It’s getting more of the SEO work we already identified actually shipped.

Where are you drawing that line now?
