Why track your content’s performance ?

Semji not only helps you create and optimize your content, but also allows you to track your results and performance at a glance. The platform collects data from different tools such as Google Analytics and Search Console, to display your content's performance.

Therefore, connecting these analytics tools to Semji is essential if you want to monitor your KPI's (Key Primary Indicators) in the platform. 

If you use AT Internet instead of Google Analytics, don't worry! Semji also supports this web analytics solution. Semji also supports AT Internet and Matomo. For more information, please contact your CSM.
