How to Use ChatGPT and Tempo Labs Together to Build Fast, SEO-Optimized Websites
Building a professional, SEO-optimized website used to be a nightmare. You needed a team of developers, designers, and SEO experts just to get something decent online. The costs? Thousands of dollars. The time? Months of back-and-forth revisions.
But here’s the thing – those days are over.
Today, I’m going to show you exactly how I built my own SEO-focused website using just ChatGPT and Tempo Labs. No coding background required. No expensive development team. Just two powerful AI tools and a step-by-step process that anyone can follow.
By the end of this guide, you’ll have everything you need to create a fast-loading, search engine-friendly website that actually ranks on Google. Whether you’re a solopreneur, small business owner, or someone who just wants to build their online presence, this method works.
Why SEO-Focused Websites Matter More Than Ever in 2025
Let me be straight with you – having a website isn’t enough anymore. Your website needs to be fast, mobile-friendly, and structured in a way that Google can easily understand and rank.
Here’s what Google is looking for in 2025:
- Core Web Vitals are now a major ranking factor. Your site needs to load in under 3 seconds, or visitors will leave before they even see your content.
- Site structure matters more than ever. Google’s AI can now understand your content better, but only if it’s properly organized with clear headings, meta descriptions, and schema markup.
- Mobile-first indexing means Google looks at your mobile site first. If it’s not perfect on phones, you’re not ranking.
The problem? Most no-code website builders create bloated, slow websites that Google hates. They load tons of unnecessary code, ignore SEO basics, and give you zero control over the technical stuff that matters.
That’s where the ChatGPT + Tempo Labs combination becomes a game-changer. You get the speed and clean code of a custom-built site, with the simplicity of a no-code approach.

The best part? You can start completely free and only upgrade if you want premium features later.
Step-by-Step: Building Your SEO Website
Plan Your Website Structure with ChatGPT
This is where the magic starts. Instead of guessing what makes a good website, we’re going to ask ChatGPT to think like an SEO expert.
Open ChatGPT and use this exact prompt:
“Act like an SEO specialist with 10 years of experience. Help me structure a Next.js website that loads fast and ranks well on Google. I need a site for [your business/topic]. Create a complete site structure with proper SEO setup, including meta tags, schema markup, and TailwindCSS-compatible layout.”
ChatGPT will give you a detailed breakdown including:
- Homepage structure with proper H1, H2, and H3 tags
- About page layout
- Blog section (if needed)
- Contact page
- Meta descriptions for each page
- Schema markup suggestions
- Mobile-responsive design guidelines
Save this response – it’s your blueprint for everything that comes next.
Next, ask ChatGPT for specific code sections:
“Now give me the exact HTML and TailwindCSS code for the homepage header section, including proper meta tags and SEO optimization.”
You’ll get clean, ready-to-use code that you can copy directly into Tempo Labs.
Build Your Site in Tempo Labs
Now comes the fun part. Log into Tempo Labs and start a new Next.js project.
Here’s where Tempo Labs shines – it gives you both a visual builder AND the ability to edit code directly. This means you can paste ChatGPT’s code and see it come to life instantly.
Creating Your Homepage:
- Start with the basic layout structure
- Copy the header code from ChatGPT
- Paste it into Tempo Labs’ code editor
- Use the visual builder to adjust colors, spacing, and images
- Add your actual content (replace ChatGPT’s placeholder text)
Key Components to Build:
- Navigation bar with proper internal linking
- Hero section with your main keyword in the H1 tag
- About section with structured content
- Footer with contact information and sitemap links
Here’s a sample code snippet for an SEO-optimized header:
Pro Tip:
Build one section at a time. Don’t try to create the entire website in one sitting. Start with the homepage, get it perfect, then move to other pages.
Fix Issues and Optimize with AI
This is where beginners often get stuck. You paste code from ChatGPT, but something doesn’t look right. Maybe a Tailwind class isn’t working, or the mobile version looks weird.
Don’t panic – this is normal and easy to fix.
Go back to ChatGPT (or try Claude) with specific questions:
“I’m using this TailwindCSS code but the text isn’t centering on mobile. Here’s my code: [paste your code]. What’s wrong and how do I fix it?”
The AI will spot the issue and give you the corrected code. Common fixes include:
- Responsive breakpoints (sm:, md:, lg: classes)
- Flexbox alignment issues
- Missing container classes
- Color contrast problems
Real Example:
I had an issue where my navigation menu wasn’t showing on mobile. I asked ChatGPT: “My mobile menu isn’t working. Here’s my code: [code]. Fix the responsive navigation.”
ChatGPT immediately spotted that I was missing the hidden md:flex classes and gave me the corrected version.
Complete SEO Setup (The Technical Stuff Made Simple)
Now we need to make sure Google can find and understand your website. This checklist ensures you don’t miss anything important:
✅Meta Tags for Every Page

📊Schema Markup
Add structured data for:

- FAQ sections
- Products or services
🚀Performance Optimization
Ensure your site:
- Loads in under 3 seconds

- Uses lazy loading
- Has proper caching headers
📱Mobile Optimization
Test and verify:

- Touch-friendly navigation
- Readable text without zooming

Ask ChatGPT to generate the technical SEO code for you:
“Generate the complete Next.js metadata configuration for my [business type] website, including proper schema markup, Open Graph tags, and Twitter cards.”

Real Results: What You Can Expect
I used this exact method to build a client’s consulting website. Here’s what happened:

The client was amazed that a “simple” website could outperform their previous $15,000 custom-built site in search rankings.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
🐛Code Not Working as Expected
Problem: You paste ChatGPT’s code but it looks broken in Tempo Labs.
Solution: Copy the exact error message and ask ChatGPT: “This code isn’t working in Next.js. Here’s the error: [paste error]. Fix it.”
🎨Design Looks Different Than Expected
Problem: The layout doesn’t match what you wanted.
Solution: Be more specific with ChatGPT. Instead of “make it look good,” say: “Create a modern hero section with a dark background, white text, and a blue call-to-action button centered on the page.”
📱Mobile Version Broken
Problem: Site looks great on desktop but terrible on mobile.
Solution: Ask ChatGPT: “Make this code fully responsive for mobile devices using TailwindCSS breakpoints.” Always test on actual mobile devices, not just browser dev tools.
⚡Site Loading Slowly
Problem: PageSpeed scores are low.
Solution: Common fixes include:
- Optimize images (use Next.js Image component)
- Remove unused CSS/JavaScript
- Enable compression
- Use a CDN for images
