Test the connection

Show me the brands I can access in Semly.

Show my current brand visibility and compare it with the previous 30 days.

Advanced example

Compare 90 days of Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and Semly data. Find topics with strong organic visibility but weak AI visibility. Check competitors and sources, then recommend an action plan.

Publishing content

With the appropriate permissions, ChatGPT can generate, edit, and publish articles to the Semly Knowledge Base, WordPress, or Shoper when those channels are connected to the brand.

You can revoke the connection at any time in Semly under Settings -> MCP Apps or Integrations -> MCP Apps.
