Why connect Ahrefs to ChatGPT?

Ahrefs data usually reaches ChatGPT as a pasted export. With Lemonado, ChatGPT reads backlinks, organic keywords and top pages live, and can put Search Console clicks next to them, so the summary uses this month's numbers.

  • All your Ahrefs data

    Backlinks, new and lost, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Organic keywords and positions, synced from Ahrefs automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "Do estimates match real clicks?" use Ahrefs and Search Console, Semrush at once.
