A likely range and a test, printed with every reading

Goodie collects its data daily. Its own blog calls a swing over a day normal statistical variance and suggests reporting over a 30- to 60-day window (probabilistic and deterministic metrics). Goodie publishes no likely range for any figure and no test for when a change is real.

BotSay asks the same questions of the same six engines every week and compares the week with the one before. Your Mention rate comes with its likely range, the span the true rate almost certainly sits in, and the number of answers behind it. When the rate moves, BotSay runs the exact test on both weeks and labels the change as real once it clears their combined uncertainty. Share of voice, Average rank, Your pages cited and Sentiment show each week's figure and how it moved. Below, an invented brand's two weekly ranges sit clear of each other.

BotSay ranks the work by how many questions it could win

Goodie gives each recommendation a difficulty level, an estimated timeline and a projected impact on citation rate, and lets you filter by estimated impact, high, medium or low.

BotSay's action list gives each item the number of your questions it could win, with the answers that show it:

Pages to write: topics where rivals are named and you are not.
Places to be mentioned: the review sites, communities and publishers the engines lean on, and whether you are on them.
Quick decisions: small choices that make your numbers more accurate, like confirming which sites are yours.

Once you publish, BotSay follows the questions that work was meant to win and labels the change in Mention rate when it is real.
