▸ One fix to ship first

Publish honest head-to-head pages against Profound and Otterly, the rivals winning the questions we lose, and get cited in the roundups these surfaces pull from. The same brief we would hand a client, applied to ourselves.

Shipped 2 July 2026: , , and a plain category line on the homepage. That last one exists because our own auto-fill could not work out what CompeteDesk was from the old text, which counted as a finding too. The retest clock runs from here.

Baseline scanned 2 July 2026 with the free three-question check. A paid sprint checks every question buyers ask and includes cited quotes; this page shows the free tier, on us. The retest runs once the fixes have been live for around 30 days, on the same three questions, and publishes here win or lose.
