Ian Howells, SEO consultant and founder of LuckyPixel, presented "Building SEO Tools with AI: What Works Right Now" at the Triangle SEO Meetup in Raleigh, NC.
Ian shared how a career spent building SEO tools long before AI was in the picture evolved into using Claude Code to solve real problems for his clients and personal projects. He walked through specific tools he's built, gave honest takes on what's actually worth your time and what isn't, recommended specific approaches and plugins that have worked well for him, and gave away scripts and repos attendees could take home and run themselves.
