Is there an SEO app for ChatGPT?
Doc-checked .
Yes — two. Semrush at 78/100 for broad SEO data, and Ahrefs at 77/100 for backlink depth. Both return the vendor's real figures instead of numbers the model invented, and both need a paid plan on the vendor side. Pick whichever platform you already pay for. Moz and Search Console have no app.
Why this is the pick
This answer used to say Semrush was only a vendor-hosted MCP server and therefore not a directory listing. That was wrong: Semrush announced an official ChatGPT app in December 2025, and OpenAI's own curated plugin marketplace carries a Semrush plugin with an OpenAI connector ID. Both things exist — a public MCP server and a directory app — and we had documented only the first. Why it matters beyond the correction: SEO is the category where an unaided model fails worst, because asked for search volume or keyword difficulty it returns a confident number with no data behind it, and people build strategy on those numbers. Semrush replaces invented figures with Semrush's own. The catch is cost, not capability — it needs a paid Semrush plan, which is why it scores 78 rather than higher. Then we made the same class of mistake again in the fix: the corrected answer said Semrush was the only SEO app, and Ahrefs turned out to link to its ChatGPT listing from its own site. Ahrefs scores 77 and is the stronger backlink dataset, with rows per request capped by plan. Two confident negatives in one category, both cheap to have tested. Moz and Search Console remain absent as far as we can verify.
