What it is

Each card is one connection with its status and one button; details sit behind its "?". Mock data never counts as connected. Connect everything walks through the one-click connections in order.

Every connected source adds real evidence: actual searches, clicks, AI visits and bot fetches. With it, actions get stronger evidence grades and fixes can be measured on real outcomes.

How to use it

Step by step, as in the video

  1. Progress. Setup shows each connection as a card with its status, one button and details behind a "?". Mock data never counts as connected.
  2. Website verified. Website verified proves you manage the site: through Search Console, Bing, a DNS record or the tag.
  3. Search Console. Search Console brings real Google searches, clicks and pages, and fills Search performance and Content decay.
  4. GA4. Google Analytics adds sessions and key events from AI tools.
  5. Bing. Bing Webmaster Tools adds real Bing searches and Copilot citations. Bing powers Copilot.
  6. AI visit tag. The AI visit tag records real visits from AI tools. Copy the snippet onto the client's site.
  7. Server logs. Server logs show AI bots fetching pages for real users. Connect the client's hosting or CDN, or upload a log file.
  8. CMS publishing. CMS publishing connects the client's WordPress or Webflow site, so approved articles can be published. It's optional.
  9. Connect everything. Connect everything walks through each one-click connection in order.
  10. Data health. Data health then checks every connected source daily and flags anything stale, missing or inconsistent.

Questions

Which source should I connect first?

The AI visit tag and Search Console: together they show real AI visits and the searches behind them. Bing adds Copilot, and server logs add AI bot fetches.

What does data health check?

Every day it checks that each connected source is fresh, complete and consistent, and flags anything that isn't.
