See every featureShopify merchants often struggle to publish consistent blog content that drives organic search traffic. Building backlinks to improve domain authority adds another layer of complexity. BlogSEO solves both challenges. The app automatically generates and publishes SEO-optimized blog articles to your store.
Note: Due to Medium closing off their API to new integrations, new stores will not be able to use this app to automatically post Shopify blog articles to Medium. If you have a Medium integration token prior to 2025, it will still work. In other words, unless you have a pre-existing Medium integration which provided you a token prior to 2025, you won't be able to use this app.
