Katie Keith: E-Commerce, AI, and Keeping it real with your customers
Katie Keith from Barn2 Plugins shared her secret weapon for running a super-slick e-commerce site—AI! From generating product descriptions to making customer experiences smoother than butter, AI is her go-to tool.
But here’s the twist: while AI is great for handling the boring stuff, Katie reminded us that nothing beats a human touch when it comes to building real connections with customers. So, let the robots do the heavy lifting, but make sure you’re still adding that sprinkle of personality.
Key Takeaway:
AI in e-commerce? Absolutely! Just don’t forget to keep it human. Use AI to speed things up, but make sure your customers feel the love with authentic, personal content.
Jono Alderson: AI, SEO, and Speed—The dream team for your website
Jono Alderson brought some serious SEO wisdom to the webinar, showing us how AI can help keep our websites in tip-top shape. From fixing broken links to making your site lightning-fast. Jono walked us through how AI can do the heavy lifting while we sit back with a cup of coffee (or, you know, keep working).
But he also gave us a friendly reminder: AI can’t do everything. You still need to step in for those tricky fixes and make sure your site is serving up a stellar experience for your visitors.
Key Takeaway:
AI can be your SEO best friend, but don’t leave it unsupervised. Keep an eye on things like site speed and broken links, and give your website the human TLC it deserves.
Michelle Frechette: AI, Content, and Community—It’s all about balance!
Michelle Frechette from StellarWP dropped some golden nuggets on how to balance AI and human creativity. AI can whip up some great content ideas and help craft your social media posts, but the magic really happens when you mix in your own voice.
Michelle uses AI to get the creative juices flowing but makes sure her final content feels authentic and true to her brand. She also talked about how AI-powered chatbots are remarkable for handling simple customer questions, leaving you more time to focus on the fun, complex stuff.
Key Takeaway:
AI is here to help make content creation and customer support a breeze—but remember, it’s your unique voice and personality that will make your audience stick around for the long haul.
What did we learn?
If there’s one thing we learned from this webinar, it’s that AI is your new best friend. You know, like that super-organized pal who reminds you about important tasks and makes sure you’re on top of things (without the guilt trip!).
AI can handle the heavy lifting, whether it’s fixing broken links, suggesting content ideas, or speeding up your website. But remember: the magic happens when you combine AI’s superpowers with your personal touch.
Katie Keith showed us how AI can take the boring out of e-commerce, making room for you to focus on those genuine customer connections. Jono Alderson reminded us that while AI can spot issues, speed up your site, and keep it SEO-friendly, it’s still YOU who needs to steer the ship. And Michelle Frechette highlighted that while AI can help you brainstorm and create, it’s your voice that keeps your audience engaged and coming back for more.
So, what’s the verdict? AI is here to help, but the real hero of your website’s success is still you. Whether you’re using Progress Planner to smash through your to-do list or letting AI handle the mundane stuff, the power combo of human creativity + AI efficiency is what makes your website shine.
Let’s get things done, stay proactive, and keep our sites thriving. After all, Progress Planner and AI are here to make website maintenance fun, fast, and hassle-free. Who’s ready to earn some badges and get that site in shape? 🚀
