How do I connect the platforms I publish to?

Connections in the sidebar. Each platform has a card; choose Connect, sign in, approve, pick the page or channel if asked. The card shows Connected when it's done. Google Business Profile, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and WordPress on every plan.

Connect a platform

1. Open Connections in the sidebar. The cards are grouped into five tabs, each with a count of what's connected: Social media, Website & blog, Search & listings, Customers & CRM and Files & media.
2. On the platform's card, choose Connect. The platform opens in a new window.
3. Sign in and approve what Sagelyn asks for.
4. If the account has several pages, channels or locations, pick the one for this Brand.

The card switches to Connected. Posts to that platform are now possible.

Platform by platform

• Google Business Profile (the Google My Business card) — sign in with the Google account that manages the listing, then pick the location. It also lets the AI Visibility tab read your listing, and the AI Visibility Manager fix what is missing from it, one change at a time and only when you approve it (Pro); see Run a check and read the dashboard.
• YouTube — sign in with the Google account, then pick the channel. Videos need a privacy status and the Made for Kids answer before publishing.
• Facebook — sign in, then tick the Pages to connect; they're grouped as personal and business, and you can pick more than one.
• Instagram — connects through Facebook; needs an Instagram Business or Creator account linked to a Page you manage.
• LinkedIn — two cards: LinkedIn (sign in, then pick a Page to publish to or Personal profile only) and LinkedIn Business Page (a company Page you administer). See Connect LinkedIn.
• WordPress — sign in to WordPress.com and confirm the site. This is where blogs publish (Pro).
• Squarespace, Wix & other site builders — for sites that can't take posts from outside. Sagelyn hosts your blog on an address of your own, like blog.yoursite.com, and shows the one DNS record to add at your domain host. See Host your blog on your own domain (Pro).
• Google Search Console — sign in and pick your site's property. Not for publishing: it feeds the AI Visibility Manager your real Google search data, so its questions come from the searches people actually use to find you.
• Bing Webmaster Tools — paste an API key from Bing instead of signing in; see below. Not for publishing: it shows the AI Visibility Manager how your site does on Bing.
• Google Drive — for attaching files from Drive in chat, not publishing.

Bing Webmaster Tools

ChatGPT's live browsing uses Bing's index, so it's worth knowing how Bing sees your site. The card is on the Search & listingstab. Your site must already be verified in Bing Webmaster Tools; if it's in Google Search Console, Bing can import it in one click.

1. On the Bing Webmaster Tools card, press Connect.
2. Open Bing Webmaster Tools and sign in with the account your site is verified in. Click Settings at the top right, then API access.
3. Under API Key, click Generate API Key (or View API Key if you already have one) and copy it.
4. Paste it on the card and press Check key. Sagelyn checks it with Bing, then you pick your site.

The card shows Connected (API key) with your site. Your AI Visibility dashboard then shows Bing beside Google; see Search performance. We remind you in 90 days to replace the key: press Update key on the card and paste a new one.

Change or reconnect

To switch a platform to a different account, choose Connect again and sign in with the other one; it replaces the existing connection. LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Search Console and GoHighLevel also have a Disconnect on the card, with a confirmation. When a connection is about to expire, the bell in the header tells you — see Reconnect when a connection expires.
