How to edit your website with AI: 12 changes you can make by chat

By the ContentMetric team · Checked on 17 October 2026

How it works, in plain words

There are two ways to edit by chat on ContentMetric.

• The assistant inside the editor. Open your site, then open the AI assistant panel and type what you want. A typical edit uses one credit. Free sites get 30 credits a month and Pro gets 150.
• Your own AI app. On Pro, Business and Enterprise you can connect Claude or ChatGPT (beta) to one site and ask from there. Edits made this way do not use ContentMetric credits, because the app uses its own subscription. Set-up takes a few minutes: see our help page or Connect Claude to your website.

In both cases the change lands on your draft. Visitors keep seeing the last published version until you press Publish. If you do not like a change, undo it with Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac), restore an earlier version from the Versions panel, or just ask for a different one.

A fair warning. Our help page says a connected app can read and edit your one site, and never more than your own role allows. It does not list every single action. So treat the twelve edits below as a starting point, try each on a draft, and check the result before you publish. The photo edit is the one we do partly by hand, as explained in number 12.

How to write a good request

• Name the page. "On the Contact page" beats "on my site".
• Give the exact words or numbers. The AI should not guess your prices.
• Say what not to change. "Change nothing else on the page" prevents surprises.
• Ask for one thing at a time. Smaller requests are easier to check and undo.

The 12 edits

1. Change your opening hours

The most common edit of all. Hours often appear in more than one place, such as the footer and the Contact page, so ask for all of them.

2. Update a price

Paste the new figure yourself. Do not ask the AI to work out a price.

3. Fix your phone number, address or email

Wrong contact details cost real customers. Ask the AI to find every copy.

4. Add a holiday or closure notice

A short notice at the top of the Home page saves phone calls. Ask for it to be easy to remove later.

5. Add a new service page

Give the AI the facts and let it do the layout. Check every claim before you publish.

6. Write and add a blog post

Blog posts live in the Content area, as entries in a collection. If your site does not have a blog yet, ask the AI to set one up first.

7. Add a contact form

Our help centre gives this exact kind of request as an example. Messages are saved in the Data area, and the email that gets notified is set under Settings, then Form notifications. One notification address covers every form on the site. Forms are part of the Forms and Bookings app, included in Pro and above.

8. Rewrite the title and description that show in Google

Each page has a search title and description, set in the SEO panel. A clear one helps people choose your result. Keep titles short.

9. Add a questions and answers section

A short FAQ answers the questions you get every week, and can also help your page show richer results in search. Use real questions from your customers.

10. Rewrite a paragraph in a clearer voice

Good for an About page that sounds stiff. Ask for options so you stay in charge of the words.

11. Translate a page into another language

First add the language under Site settings, then Languages. The new language starts hidden, so visitors see nothing until you make it visible and publish. Translating uses AI credits, one page at a time. Blog posts and other collections are not translated yet, so this covers pages only.

12. Swap a photo (partly by hand)

This is the one edit we do not promise from a connected app. Our help centre documents two ways to change a picture. You can click the image in the editor and choose a different one, or upload your files to the Media area first. The editor's own assistant also lets you attach an image to your message.

So the safe route is: upload the photo yourself, then ask for the placement.

Check before you publish

Reading the draft takes a minute and saves a lot of embarrassment. Look at these four things every time.

• Numbers. Hours, prices, phone numbers and addresses, letter by letter.
• Claims. Any award, review, guarantee or statistic. If you did not give it to the AI, it should not be there.
• The phone view. Use Preview page to see it as a visitor would.
• The menu and links. New pages should be reachable, and no link should lead nowhere.

The arrow next to the Publish button also has Schedule publish, which puts a change live at a time you choose. That suits a holiday notice. For the bigger picture on safety, read is it safe to let AI edit your website?

When to do it by hand instead

Chat is not always faster. Changing one word is quicker if you double-click the text on the page and type. Our help centre describes this as the way most day-to-day edits are done. Use chat for changes that touch several places, for writing, and for anything you would rather describe than build.
