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 Privy?
Privy keeps bolting integrations onto Flows until it stops being a popup tool.
Privy is an ecommerce email/SMS platform for Shopify and BigCommerce merchants, and the last four months read as one continuous project: make Flows the place where every other app's data lands. Reviews (Judge.me, Junip), loyalty (Rivo, Yotpo), subscriptions (Recharge), support (Gorgias), and signup data (Alia) all now sync into contact properties that can trigger, split, and personalize a Flow. The builder itself has grown the plumbing to match — tag actions, contact-update nodes, exit conditions, Flow-completed triggers, and date-based triggers for birthdays and renewals.

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.
Privy
6.3MARKETING
Privy keeps bolting integrations onto Flows until it stops being a popup tool.
◆ Current state
Privy is an ecommerce email/SMS platform for Shopify and BigCommerce merchants, and the last four months read as one continuous project: make Flows the place where every other app's data lands. Reviews (Judge.me, Junip), loyalty (Rivo, Yotpo), subscriptions (Recharge), support (Gorgias), and signup data (Alia) all now sync into contact properties that can trigger, split, and personalize a Flow. The builder itself has grown the plumbing to match — tag actions, contact-update nodes, exit conditions, Flow-completed triggers, and date-based triggers for birthdays and renewals.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is from lead capture toward full lifecycle automation, and the tell is what got built last: checkout abandonment closed the last obvious gap in the owned-channel funnel, and Facebook Custom Audiences pushed Privy outside owned channels entirely. Integrations have shifted from one-way imports to bidirectional sync — SMS consent flows back from Shopify, replies flow out to Gorgias, segment membership flows out to Meta. Each release adds another data source that only pays off if merchants build the Flows, so the product is compounding on adoption of the builder rather than on new surfaces.
◆ Prediction
Expect more outbound destinations for segments now that the Facebook connection proved the pattern — Google or TikTok audiences are the obvious next targets. On the Flow side, the recent triggers all key off external events, so the gap left is a way to author across them without wiring each Flow by hand.
