Review planned| Criterion | Question to resolve | Heading evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Collection | Which exact platform surface is measured? Which markets, languages and refresh cadence are included? | See Heading’s collection workflow → |
| Measurement | What is the denominator? Do citations, mentions, missing fetches and no-answer results count differently? | Read Heading’s methodology → |
| Evidence | Can you inspect the original answer, question, date and cited URLs behind a score? | Inspect citation tracking → |
| Action | Can the team assign follow-up work and connect it to an objective? | See objectives and tasks → |
| Client delivery | How are client properties separated? Which reporting and branding controls are included? | Review the agency workflow → |
| Commercial fit | Which plan, billing interval, prompt allowance and add-ons does the quote cover? | Check current Heading pricing → |
This is a suggested process, not a published vendor benchmark.
Worked decision: If one product shows more platforms but cannot expose the source evidence your client reviews require, more coverage alone does not settle the choice. Record “source inspection unverified” until a demonstration resolves it. Do not turn an unanswered question into a claim that the feature is absent.
Heading writes these comparisons and has a commercial interest in the outcome. If you find an error, contact us with the source so we can check it.
