Head-to-head review · Updated June 2026
Goodie vs Page Optimizer Pro: which one wins in 2026?
Goodie and Page Optimizer Pro both claim to do the same thing: tell you where your brand shows up in AI search. They go about it differently enough that the choice matters. Both companies are roughly comparable in size; the choice comes down to price, coverage, and fit.
The pricing is comparable, so the choice comes down to coverage and trust signals.
The verdict
Pick
Page Optimizer Pro
Page Optimizer Pro is the right pick if your team prefers their approach and pricing fits.
If neither is right, GrowthManager.ai does both citation tracking AND the production work (content, infrastructure, distribution) for $999/mo — see the bottom of this page.
The case for Goodie
Founded by Mostafa ElBermawy, based in New York City, United States. They cover 11 AI platforms. Pricing starts at Custom (quote-based) with no free trial.
Goodie is an enterprise AEO platform that monitors, analyzes, and optimizes brand and product presence across 11 AI search engines including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Amazon Rufus, and more.
What people praise
- Broadest AI engine coverage in the category (11 platforms including niche engines like Amazon Rufus, DeepSeek, Grok, and Meta AI)
- Actionable optimization layer that closes the loop between insights and execution inside a single platform
- Delivers measurable, defensible business outcomes — documented client results across conversions, citations, and traffic
- User-friendly dashboard with digestible metrics accessible to both technical and non-technical marketers
Where it falls short
- No free trial — only demos and a free AI Search Assessment, putting it at a disadvantage vs. competitors that allow self-serve evaluation
- Premium pricing with no published rates makes ROI justification difficult for smaller or budget-constrained teams
- Onboarding complexity and setup friction — not self-serve; requires hands-on support and operational discipline to get started
- Rapid product roadmap velocity creates a 'moving target' effect — users must stay constantly informed of changes
The case for Page Optimizer Pro
Page Optimizer Pro has raised Bootstrapped. Founded by Kyle Roof, based in London, UK. Pricing starts at $40/mo.
On-page SEO optimization with data-driven recommendations.
What people praise
- Recommendations are grounded in Kyle Roof's 400+ scientific SEO tests and a granted Google ranking-factor patent, which gives users more confidence than competitor tools that rely on correlation alone.
- Reviewers consistently report pages moving to positions 1-3 within days of applying the on-page edits the tool recommends.
- POP Watchdog is the only tool in the category that alerts you when a ranking drops and tells you exactly what changed on the page or in the SERP.
- Credits can be bought one-off without committing to a monthly subscription, which makes it accessible for freelancers running occasional audits.
Where it falls short
- Credit system is opaque and burns through fast , users want a flat unlimited tier without the per-report accounting.
- Interface has a steep learning curve and reviewers describe it as less intuitive than Surfer or Frase, with key features hidden under multiple clicks.
- AI Writer outputs large blocks of unstructured text that need heavy editing before publishing.
- Integrations are thin compared to Semrush or Moz , no native CMS publishing, no Search Console import.

When each one wins
When Goodie wins

- Broadest AI engine coverage in the category (11 platforms including niche engines like Amazon Rufus, DeepSeek, Grok, and Meta AI)
When Page Optimizer Pro wins

- Recommendations are grounded in Kyle Roof's 400+ scientific SEO tests and a granted Google ranking-factor patent, which gives users more confidence than competitor tools that rely on correlation alone.
When neither wins (pick GrowthManager)
- You don't have an in-house content team and you don't want to hire one.
- You want one $999/mo invoice instead of stacking Goodie plus an agency.
- You need the team that measures to also act on the data, in the same week.
- You're a B2B SaaS, services firm, or e-commerce brand at $20K+ MRR.

- Broader AI platform coverage. Goodie tracks visibility across 11 AI engines vs Page Optimizer Pro's 0.
- What users praise most. Broadest AI engine coverage in the category (11 platforms including niche engines like Amazon Rufus, DeepSeek, Grok, and Meta AI)

- More plan flexibility. Page Optimizer Pro offers 4 pricing tiers vs Goodie's 3, so there's a better chance one fits your team size.
- More verified reviews. Page Optimizer Pro has 20 G2 reviews vs Goodie's none on file, so the average rating carries more weight.

Switching from one to the other
From Goodie to Page Optimizer Pro
Export your saved queries and prompt panels from Goodie (most tools support CSV export). Most Page Optimizer Pro setups can import the same query list in a single CSV upload. Expect 1-2 days of parallel running so you can validate Page Optimizer Pro's data againstGoodie's; one to two weeks of full reconciliation before you cancel Goodie. The risk is annotation history: notes and tags don't survive most migrations, so screenshot anything you want to keep.
From Page Optimizer Pro to Goodie
Same flow in reverse. Export from Page Optimizer Pro, import to Goodie. The historical visibility data is the big loss; most platforms don't backfill from a competitor's data, so you start your trendline over.
From either to GrowthManager.ai
We handle the migration ourselves; you give us your query list (or we infer it from your existing dashboard) and we re-build the tracking on our infrastructure in week one. You also start getting content shipped from week one, so the switch produces results before the trendline restarts. The conversation that kicks this off is a 20-minute call.

A third option

Which is better, Goodie or Page Optimizer Pro?
Honestly: neither one fully solves the problem. Goodie and Page Optimizer Pro are tracking tools — they tell you where your brand shows up in AI answers but don't change the answer.
