Optimizing a Semiconductor Company Website for Search Engines - Part 1

In this series, I plan to take you, dear reader, through the complete process of SEO. We will create a hypothetical company with hypothetical products that are based in reality. I certainly hope that it will encourage more people to embrace this freely available marketing resource with the widest reach. Let's call our company Mirella - a fabless telecom chip maker. Doesn't the name and logo look cool? I created it using a service called Namelix that uses AI to generate business names.  Since Mirella is entirely a figment of our imagination, we need to make sure that it has some products to sell to the Imaginarium. To do that, I looked at some interesting startups in the 5G space and name that I have zeroed in on is EdgeQ . It's a 5G+AI chip startup building base stations on a chip.

Should you Optimize for GPT as a Keyword?

Image
As I was researching keywords for the ' State of SEO for AI Chip Companies ' blog, I found that SambaNova mentioned GPT on their homepage 5 times. Normally speaking, you cannot optimize for such a generic keyword even though it has really very large search volumes (90,500 per month till November 22). We removed it from our list as it's extremely difficult to optimize for, given this.  A funny thing then happened on Nov 30th - OpenAI launched ChatGPT and look what it did to worldwide search volumes for GPT: While we will only see the final monthly numbers for December early next year, it goes to show that there's a tremendous appetite for anything AI these days, and anytime a decent tool is available for free, the internet goes berserk.
