Abstract

The paper discusses how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used in search engine optimization activities dedicated to e-commerce. In the first part the most important Search Engine Optimization (SEO) issues are discussed, such as technical SEO aspects, keyword selection, and content optimization. Then the study presents an in-depth look at OpenAI’s advancements, including ChatGPT and DALL-E. The latter sections describe the capabilities of Large Language Models into the realm of SEO, particularly in e-commerce. Firstly, a set of prompts for LLMs that can be used to create content and HTML code for online shops is proposed. Then advantages, and drawbacks of incorporating LLMs in SEO for e-commerce are presented. The research concludes by synthesizing the potential of merging AI with SEO practices, offering insights for future applications.
