Creating My Own GPTs

Art Buddy aims to provide creative guidance and support, emphasizes experimentation and embracing mistakes as part of the creative process. Hopefully, it can also help in finding one’s unique voice. You just have to ask.

This has been a lot of fun to use when asking it to interpret a new painting, because sometimes it will see things that I overlooked and can even give it new meaning. And ironically, it often serves as a good antidote to the social media validation blues.

If you have an art website, you might have individual pages dedicated to each piece of artwork (this is what I do) instead of a gallery page of clickable/zoomable images. If you don’t have much text to add with the image, search engines will mostly ignore the page.

This Art SEO Helper was created to assist artists by creating SEO (search engine optimization) meta tags by analyzing their uploaded artwork, the title, the medium used, and any additional details provided by the artist, such as a source of inspiration or a more detailed description of the artwork to work with. It generates at least 5 comma-separated focus keywords that include the artwork’s title, ready for easy copying into SEO tools.

The tool also produces a keyword-rich description, ranging from 600 to 2500 characters, that is clear, concise, straightforward and mostly objective. The description focuses strictly on the artwork itself without subjective interpretations. It aims to highlight the factual elements, such as the medium, colors, forms, and structure, in a concise manner. If no additional details are provided, the GPT will generate a description based on the available information.

You can then use the keywords and description provided as a basis to add to your page’s SEO keywords and description fields which hopefully will help search engines better understand and index your content.

I’ll know if a few weeks (months?) if this approach even helps with SEO.
