Ahrefs Lists 37 AI Marketing Workflows. Most Are Task Automation. The Useful Ones Augment, Not Replace.
Ahrefs compiled 37 practical AI workflows drawn from real marketer experience, covering SEO tasks like keyword research and internal linking, content creation, outreach, and multilingual localization. Tools named include ChatGPT and Letaido. The framing is explicit: AI augments human expertise rather than replacing it, accelerating tedious processes while improving accuracy.
The mental model here is capability stacking rather than wholesale substitution. The mechanism is task decomposition. You do not ask AI to do marketing. You break marketing into 37 discrete tasks, identify which ones are tedious and low-judgment, and automate only those. The high-judgment work stays human. This is how competent practitioners actually use these tools. The headline says 37 because the list is long. The lesson is that each item is small.
The article originates from the SEO Blog by Ahrefs, written by Ryan Law, and was surfaced via optimixed.com. It draws workflows from marketers' real-world experience across SEO, content, outreach, and international marketing.
- Open ChatGPT and paste a recent piece of your marketing content. Ask it to suggest five internal linking opportunities based on topics you have written about before.
- Take one of those suggestions and verify whether the suggested connection is genuinely useful. Discard the bad ones.
- Ask ChatGPT to translate a single paragraph of your content into a second language, then ask it to explain any cultural nuances a native speaker would adjust. The expected outcome is seeing augmentation in action: the tool drafts, you judge.
