What is SEOTesting?
SEOTesting's feed is mostly comparison content, with one real shipped feature: an LLM-referral clicks report.
Most crawled entries are SEOTesting's content-marketing blog — competitor comparisons, tool roundups, and SEO testing guides. One entry, however, announces a genuine product addition: a new report showing how many clicks LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini send to a site. So the feed is largely editorial, with an occasional real release note about measuring AI-search referral traffic.
What is Planable?
Planable is opening its whole workflow to agents while keeping a human on the publish button
Planable has widened on three fronts at once: channel coverage (Facebook Stories, Google Business Profile video, LinkedIn mobile tagging), a Competitor Analytics add-on that now spans Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn, and an MCP connector plus API v2 that expose campaigns, custom views and competitor data to external callers. The approval flow sits underneath all of it — work an agent builds still lands as a draft.

SEOTesting's feed is mostly comparison content, with one real shipped feature: an LLM-referral clicks report.
◆ Current state
Most crawled entries are SEOTesting's content-marketing blog — competitor comparisons, tool roundups, and SEO testing guides. One entry, however, announces a genuine product addition: a new report showing how many clicks LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini send to a site. So the feed is largely editorial, with an occasional real release note about measuring AI-search referral traffic.
◆ Where it's heading
The observable product thread is small but pointed: SEOTesting is building reporting around AI-search and LLM referral traffic, matching where the wider SEO category is moving. The surrounding comparison content positions it against Ahrefs and Semrush. Expect more measurement features tied to AI search if that one release is indicative.
◆ Prediction
The next moves may extend AI-search and LLM-referral reporting, given that thread and the 'rank in AI search' content. The comparison posts are marketing, not a roadmap signal.

Planable is opening its whole workflow to agents while keeping a human on the publish button
◆ Current state
Planable has widened on three fronts at once: channel coverage (Facebook Stories, Google Business Profile video, LinkedIn mobile tagging), a Competitor Analytics add-on that now spans Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn, and an MCP connector plus API v2 that expose campaigns, custom views and competitor data to external callers. The approval flow sits underneath all of it — work an agent builds still lands as a draft.
◆ Where it's heading
The notable move is that Planable is treating its approval gate as the thing worth keeping while everything upstream becomes automatable. MCP is on every plan while the public API stays on Pro and Enterprise, which reads as a bet that agent access drives adoption rather than revenue on its own. Analytics is being built as a benchmarking product rather than a reporting one — competitor feeds and trend lines, not just your own numbers.
◆ Prediction
Competitor Analytics looks set to keep absorbing networks until it matches the publishing channel list. The Instagram-only AI content label should follow other platforms as they open third-party access, which the entry names as the current blocker.
