Marketing | Keyword research & Blog Creation
Utilizing AI technology, ChatSpot, and Content Assistant makes brainstorming and the content creation process a breeze. In this section, we'll demonstrate how to generate keywords and craft a high-quality blog post with the help of our new AI toolkit.
Generate a list of keywords
Begin by opening the ChatSpot interface and entering a prompt related to your desired topic. For example, if you'd like to explore artificial intelligence, you can use the following prompt: "Generate a list of keywords related to the topic of artificial intelligence." ChatSpot will quickly provide a list of relevant keywords, making the brainstorming process efficient and straightforward.

Validate Keywords
After generating a list of keywords, it's essential to validate them for relevance, search volume, and other various SEO (search engine optimization) factors. This step ensures that your content targets the right audience and ranks well on search engines. This can be done through multiple methods, but our recommendation is to use either Moz’s Keyword Explorer tool or Spyfu.
Once you have validated your preferred choices from the list ChatSpot generated, select a keyword/topic that aligns with your goals for this blog article.
Generate a Blog Title
Once you've chosen a topic, use ChatSpot to create a captivating title for your blog post. Enter the following prompt: "What's a good title for a blog article about [selected topic]?" ChatSpot will provide a compelling title that captures the essence of your content. As a general guideline, if you ever feel that ChatSpot came up a little short, all you have to do is select ‘regenerate’.

Create a blog outline and content
With your blog title in hand, you can now use HubSpot's Content Assistant tool to generate a blog outline and craft a full blog post based on your selected keywords. Open Content Assistant and type "/" to access the tool. Write the following prompt: "Write an SEO-friendly blog outline for the topic of [selected topic]." This will generate an outline that you can use as a foundation for your blog article.
Create your article’s body by expanding the outline's bullet points into full paragraphs. To do this, you’d simply highlight a bullet point and select the ‘expand’ option. Repeat this step for all desired bullet points to fill out the blog body.
