How to Supercharge Your Digital Marketing with AI
AI Tools to Power Your Digital Marketing, and How to Do It.
Hey Chad here, I’m excited to tell you how AI has revolutionized my digital marketing game. AI is already everywhere in our daily lives. But what really gets me pumped is how AI can transform your small business marketing efforts. Whether you’re already using AI tools or just starting out, this guide is for you.
What is an AI Application?
An AI application is essentially a tool or platform that uses artificial intelligence to perform tasks that humans would typically do. These machines learn by processing massive datasets, understanding relationships between elements, and making decisions based on that information. Think of ChatGPT, which uses AI to respond to prompts and questions by analyzing a vast amount of data, including books, newspapers, and web content. It’s trained by humans to recognize patterns and relationships in text, allowing it to generate coherent responses.
As AI apps gather more data, they become smarter and can handle more complex tasks with greater accuracy over time. This is why AI is such a powerful tool in digital marketing.
How AI Applications Are Changing Digital Marketing
Did you know that 51% of marketers already use AI, with 22% planning to jump on the bandwagon soon? AI and digital marketing are a match made in heaven. Here’s how AI applications can help you:
- Make Decisions Faster: AI can analyze data quickly, helping you make informed decisions without spending hours poring over spreadsheets.
- Brainstorm Ideas: AI tools can generate ideas for content, campaigns, and even product development.
- Improve Your Content: AI can optimize your content for SEO, suggest better wording, and even create new content like images and videos.
- Identify Patterns and Trends: AI can analyze customer behavior and market trends, helping you stay ahead of the competition.
- Provide Better Customer Service: AI-powered chatbots can handle customer queries 24/7, ensuring your customers get quick responses.
AI can also save you time, allowing you to focus on strategic work. According to Salesforce, digital marketers estimate that AI saves them over five hours a week. That’s a whole lot of extra time to focus on what really matters.
Finding the Right AI Application for Your Needs
AI technology has evolved at a rapid pace over the last few years. For example, ChatGPT was launched in November 2022 and quickly gained popularity. As of April 2025, ChatGPT has an impressive 462 million users, with a significant presence in the AI search market, holding a 59.7% share (2). This rapid growth underscores the increasing adoption and impact of AI applications in various sectors, including digital marketing.
With thousands of AI applications out there, it can be overwhelming to choose the right ones. Here are some factors to consider:
- Budget: Some AI tools are free or low-cost, while others can be quite pricey. The most expensive ChatGPT plan is $200 per month, per seat. Probably not affordable for most small business.
- Purpose: Not all AI apps do the same thing. You need to find the ones that fit your specific needs. Or get great at using the general-purpose models.
- Location: Some countries have restrictions on certain AI tools, so make sure they’re available where you are.
- Scalability: Will the AI app grow with your business? Unless you are a large enterprise, most of these tools will have no problem scaling to accommodate your needs.
- Integration: Can it seamlessly integrate with your existing tools and platforms?
- Multipurpose: Some AI applications like (yours truly ChadGPT)offer multiple functions including AI Chat Assistants, Image Generation, and Deep Research, all for one price.

Best Practices for Managing AI Applications
While AI is incredibly powerful, it’s not without risks. Here are some top tips for getting the most out of AI:
Provide a Clear and Detailed Brief
AI applications need a human touch to succeed. Be direct and specific with your prompts.
- Split Content into Pieces: Instead of asking AI to write a whole blog, ask it to write sections at a time.
- Specify Voice and Tone: Use tools like temperature settings to control the randomness of the content.
- Ask Follow-ups: Don’t be afraid to ask for rewording or clarification.
Fact-check and Review
AI can make mistakes if trained on incomplete or biased data. Always verify the accuracy of AI-generated content.
- Cross-reference Claims: Ensure that any claims made are backed by credible sources.
Understand the Potential Limitations
AI can’t think creatively, show empathy, or offer critical thinking without human intervention.
- Know What AI Can and Can’t Do: AI relies on data and algorithms; it can’t create new ideas without a detailed prompt.
Keep Up to Date with the Latest Technology
The AI landscape is constantly evolving. Stay informed to choose the right tools for your needs.
- Follow AI News and Blogs: Resources like AI Business, AI Magazine, and The Verge can keep you updated.
Final Thoughts
AI applications are not here to replace digital marketers but to make our jobs easier and more efficient. By leveraging AI, you can save time, generate ideas, and focus on strategic work that drives your marketing forward. Think of AI as a tool, like a laptop or notebook, that helps you do your job better.
