Bing, DuckDuckGo and Mojeek are enabled by default; Brave is optional. Google organic results require a separately configured provider. Search Console supplies data for a property you control. See providers and Search Console setup.
- Discovery is incomplete: a missing backlink is not proof that it does not exist.
- Traffic estimates and difficulty scores are models, not measured visits or third-party SEO metrics.
- CAPTCHA or blocked requests are measurement gaps, not zero rankings.
- Risk scores and disavow exports require human review.
Read the metric definitions before comparing scores.
