Sample data
Search Console and Analytics connect themselves
When you add hello@groowgroup.com to your Google Search Console or Google Analytics 4, Groow now checks the access itself instead of waiting for someone on our team. Mark it done on the Accounts page and Groow looks within the hour; as soon as it can read your property, the account shows as connected and your numbers start coming in. If Groow still can't see it the next day, the Accounts page says exactly what to change, such as the permission to pick, and it shows in your Inbox. And if access is ever removed later, Groow notices and tells you, so you never see an account marked connected while nothing comes in.
Learn more →A simpler sidebar for one business
If your plan covers one business, the top of the sidebar now shows just your business and its website, with no menu of brands to switch between and no Add a brand link. Agencies and plans with more than one business keep the switcher.

Page 1, explained in plain words
When Groow reads the pages that rank for one of your searches, it now also explains in plain words what they do that your page doesn't, with up to five steps, each saying which pages do it and why it matters to someone searching. For example: add a section on the warning signs that a furnace needs repair, because the top pages walk worried homeowners through them. It suggests what to cover, never text to copy. The steps also go into your Get onto page 1 to-dos and into drafts for that search. On paid plans, at no extra cost.
Learn more →Refresh your details from your website
Added a service or opened a new location? Press Refresh from your website in Settings, under Business details, and Groow reads your site again and shows what's changed: new services, products and locations, things your site no longer mentions, and how it describes you now. Pick what to add and save; nothing changes until you do. Once a day, on paid plans.
Learn more →Hear about daily changes the day they happen
When your daily check sees an AI assistant start or stop naming you for one of your top 5 questions, two days in a row, it's now in your notifications, like "Now named on ChatGPT for best furnace repair in Ankeny". The This week list on Home and the Monday email say what changed too. Each change is reported once, on the day it's confirmed, and links to the Daily card on AI Visibility.
Learn more →Your top 5 questions, checked every day
Your weekly check still asks every question on every AI assistant, and it's what your numbers come from. On the other days, Groow now asks your top 5 questions on ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI and Perplexity, so a change shows within a day or two instead of a week. AI Visibility has a new Daily card with the last two weeks for each question, and it only calls something a change when two days in a row agree, so one odd answer doesn't look like a drop. Pick the questions you care about most with Check daily on each question's page. On paid plans, at no extra cost.
Learn more →Keep your business details up to date
What Groow knows about your business, from what you sell and to whom to your services, products and locations, used to be set once during setup. Now it's in Settings, under Business details, and you can change it any time. The fact check grades what AI says against these details, and the questions Groow asks, keyword ideas, drafts and the search for pages that name you all use them, so a new service or location shows up everywhere from then on. Earlier versions are kept.
Learn more →Page 1 to-dos now say what to add
Every week Groow now reads page 1 for your tracked searches closest to page 1, starting with the ones on page 2. Their Get onto page 1 and Go for page 1 to-dos then say what the pages above you cover that yours doesn't, and turn it into steps: the sections to add, the questions to answer as headings and the markup to use. Drafts for those searches follow the same outline. You can open the read from the keyword's page or the to-do, under See what page 1 covers. On paid plans, at no extra cost.
Learn more →See what the pages that rank cover
Open any search on the Keyword gap page and Groow reads the pages that rank for it: page 1 from your weekly rank check when you track the search, or your competitors' ranking pages when you don't. It shows the topics they cover, the questions they answer, how long they are and the markup most of them use, each marked on your page or not, with a list of what to add. No page for that search yet? Write the page drafts one from your own services and facts that covers those topics, without copying theirs. Directory listings, forum threads and videos are skipped. On paid plans, at no extra cost.
Learn more →Ask for a link closes itself when the link goes up
When a page names you without linking to your website, Groow puts Ask for a link on your To do list with the email drafted. Now it also reads that page again every week. Once the link is up, the to-do is marked done for you and counts as a win, in your notifications, on Home and in the Monday email. It's logged on Changes & results so you can see what it moved, and the page shows as Links to you under Links, Mentions. Each ask stays on your To do list for at least eight weeks, so there's time to send it. Reading the page again is free, on the same paid plans.
Learn more →Fact check flags only what's really wrong
Fact check now marks something Wrong only when it goes against a fact about your business, from your website or the points you want to be known for. Something your website just doesn't mention, like the year you started, a former name or another location, no longer counts as wrong, and Truth shows the correct fact in a plain sentence. An answer that names a company with a similar name only to say it's a different business no longer shows as AI mixing you up, and removing a point from What you want to be known for removes its card. Cards from earlier checks that weren't real errors are gone too, with nothing to rerun.
Learn more →A free course: AI search, trade by trade
Groow Learn's By industry module has a course of its own now, built on our Local AI Index: 800 AI answers across ten trades and ten US cities. An opening lesson covers what's the same in every trade and what changes. Then each trade gets a short lesson: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, dental, personal injury law, auto repair, landscaping, house cleaning and pest control. Each one names the five sites AI cited most for that trade, how much businesses' own websites counted, and what to do first. Every module in Groow Learn now has a written course.
Learn more →A free course for your clients: Working with your agency
Groow Learn has a course for the businesses agencies work for, so agencies can send it to every client. Six short lessons cover what AI search is, what the agency does each week, the things only the business can do (reviews, the facts only it knows, photos and quick approvals), giving an agency access without sharing a password, reading the monthly report, and what to expect, and when. Each lesson ends with something to do, the course comes with a checklist of what the agency needs from them, and it doesn't ask your clients to sign up for Groow.
Learn more →Unlimited users on every plan
Every Groow plan now includes unlimited users, so everyone who works on your business can have their own login instead of sharing one. Owners and admins invite people from Settings and pick each person's role: admins also manage the team and connected accounts, members can make changes, and viewers can see everything without changing anything.
Learn more →New pages that name you, and new lists to pitch
Every week Groow now searches Google for pages from the past week that name your business, and for new "best [your trade] in [your town]" lists. A page that names you but doesn't link to your website goes on your To do list as Ask for a link, with the email drafted for you to send: a site that already writes about you is the easiest link to get. New best-of lists go to Listicles marked new on Google, so you can pitch them before AI starts citing them. Every page Groow finds is on Links, under Mentions, and your notifications and monthly report say what turned up. On paid plans, from your monthly AI budget (about 2 cents a month).

A free course: Get found in every location
Groow Learn has a course for businesses with more than one location, where Google and AI judge each location on its own. Five short lessons cover why every location needs its own presence, setting up one Google profile per location the right way, a page on your website for each location, reviews and listings for every location, and tracking each one so you know where effort pays most. Each lesson ends with something to do, and the course comes with the multi-location checklist to keep.
Learn more →A free course: Win the Google searches that matter
Groow Learn has a course on climbing Google, one search at a time, with free tools and your own pages. Six short lessons cover how Google decides which pages rank, finding the searches worth winning, moving the ones you're close on from page 2 to page 1 (with the Search Console steps), titles and descriptions people click, when page 1 is beatable and what kind of page to make, and how to judge changes through Google's updates. Each lesson ends with something to do, and the course comes with a checklist to keep.
Learn more →A free course: Let AI read your website
Groow Learn has a course for the first step of all this: making sure ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI can read your website at all. Five short lessons cover the crawlers that matter and what they can see, robots.txt (including how to opt out of AI training and stay in the answers), the firewalls and plugins that turn AI away without anyone deciding to, pages AI can't see, and sitemaps and llms.txt. Each lesson ends with something to do, and the course comes with a checklist to keep.
Learn more →A free course to start with: AI search, explained
Groow Learn has a new starting point for business owners who are new to all this. Five short lessons cover what AI search is and which assistants your customers use, how they pick the businesses they recommend, how it differs from Google and what still counts, your first five steps, and how to tell it's working. Each lesson ends with something to do and points to the course that goes deeper, and the course comes with the AI Visibility Checklist to keep.
Learn more →A free course: Write pages AI quotes
Groow Learn has a fourth free course: how to write service and town pages that Google ranks and AI quotes. In our Local AI Index, 57% of AI answers cited at least one business's own website. Six short lessons cover what makes AI quote one page and skip another, answering in the first two sentences, the specifics AI repeats, the questions customers really ask, town pages that aren't copies, and the structured data and links behind your pages. Each lesson ends with something to do, and the course comes with a checklist to keep.
Learn more →A free course: Get onto the sites AI cites
Groow Learn has a third free course, built on our Local AI Index: the websites AI reads before it recommends a business, and how to get onto them honestly. In the index, 62% of what AI cited was a directory, a review site or a best-of list. Six short lessons cover the directories every business needs, your trade's own sites, best-of lists and the short note that gets you considered, reviews beyond Google, and local news and community. Each lesson ends with something to do, and the course comes with a checklist to keep.
Learn more →A free course: Google Business Profile, done right
Groow Learn, our free courses on getting found on Google and in AI answers, has a second course. Six short lessons cover how Google picks who shows up on the map, claiming and verifying your profile, choosing your categories and listing your services, photos and posts, a review routine that stays within Google's rules, and a 20-minute monthly check. Each lesson ends with something to do, and the course comes with a checklist to keep.
Learn more →Competitors' new pages, on your To do list
When a competitor you track publishes a page for a service you sell or a town you work in, and you don't have a page for it yourself, Groow now adds it to To do as a Missing page, like "Add a page about heat pump installation in Ankeny: Oakline added one". Each one shows what they published, and Write the page drafts your own page from your own services, ready to edit and publish. Competitors lists them under Pages to add. Groow checks your website for a matching page first, keeps it to three at a time, and clears each one once your page is up.
Learn more →Guided setup for new accounts
New accounts are now set up step by step right after signing up, and the dashboard opens once it's done. Say whether you're a business or an agency (an agency adds its website, how many clients it looks after and its booking link, then its first client), add your website, Google Maps listing and social profiles, and give Groow access to your Google Business Profile, Search Console, Analytics and website, about two minutes each. Any you skip stay on your Getting started list, which now covers every account Groow works in, not just Search Console and Analytics. While the first check runs, you see how far it's got and a preview of Groow Learn's free courses.
Learn more →Pitch prospects, for agencies
Agency plans have a new Pitch prospects page. Check a prospect, or every business in a trade and city, and Groow makes a page for each one under your agency's name: who ChatGPT and Google AI recommend instead of them, where they sit on Google Maps, and what to fix first. Each page ends with your booking link, comes with an email drafted for you to send, and shows you when it's opened. A few cents to about 25 cents a check, from your plan's AI budget.
Learn more →Ask Groow
There's a new Ask Groow button at the top of every page. Ask a question in plain words, like "What should I do this week?" or "Who does AI recommend instead of me, and why?", and Groow answers from your own numbers: how often each AI assistant names you, your competitors, the websites AI reads, your recommendations and what changed lately. Each answer links to the pages behind it and suggests what to ask next. It says when your numbers don't answer the question, and it never guesses. A few cents a question, from your monthly AI budget.
Learn more →Bigger sites, checked in full
GroowBot's weekly site check now reads up to 100 pages on Starter, 250 on Plus, 500 on Growth and 1,000 on Enterprise (25 on the free plan), starting with your most important pages and following every sitemap and link. A price shown on most of your pages, like a site-wide offer banner, no longer flags every page as missing product details.
Learn more →What competitors changed
Groow now reads your tracked competitors' websites every week and tells you what they published: a new service, a new town, a price or offer, or a post, with each page's title and a link. It's in your notifications and on Competitors under What competitors changed. The first read sets a starting point, so you only hear about pages that are new after that. Groow also checks the best-of lists AI cites most every week, and tells you if one drops you, or adds or drops a competitor.
Learn more →Pitch the best-of lists with Groow
Listicles has a new Pitch them with Groow button. Groow finds who runs each list still to pitch, up to 15 at a time with the most cited first, and drafts a short email asking them to consider you, using only facts from your own profile and Google listing and never offering anything in return. You read and approve the emails in Links, Outreach; Groow sends them, tracks the replies, and moves each list to Pitched.
Learn more →Keyword gap without the brand-name searches
Keyword gap now leaves out searches that name a business, like a competitor's name plus "reviews" or your own name. Those searches go to that business, so they aren't openings for you. They're hidden by default, and one click shows them again.
Learn more →Have Groow do it
Every recommendation now has Do it myself and Have Groow do it. On Growth, Have Groow do it sends it to our team, with a note if you want to add one; the recommendation shows when we've started and, when it's done, exactly what we changed, and you get a notification. Growth includes up to 20 a month. Each recommendation also shows roughly how long it takes: about 15 minutes, about an hour, or half a day or more.
Learn more →New competitors on Google Maps, in your notifications
When a business shows up in your Google Maps results for the first time, at two or more spots on your map or in the top 3 anywhere, Groow tells you in your notifications: its rating, how many reviews it has, its category and where it showed up, with a link to the map. It works from the maps you repeat weekly or monthly, so a new competitor doesn't go unnoticed until it's ahead of you.
Learn more →Fact check: what AI gets wrong, until it's fixed
What AI knows now has a Fact check. Each fact AI states wrongly or leaves out about your business shows what the AI says next to the truth, which assistants said it, in how many answers and since when. When you fix one, press I've fixed it and say what you changed; it's logged with your other changes. Groow keeps checking, and a fact only counts as fixed after three checks in a row get it right, so one lucky answer can't close it.
Learn more →Page-1 openings in your To do list
When Google's first page for one of your keywords has weak results above you (a forum thread, a directory listing, a homepage or a page whose title doesn't mention the search), the best of them now show up in To do as recommendations. Each one names the results to pass and why, and says what kind of page to make. Write the page drafts it for you to edit and publish. Each recommendation clears itself once the opening closes.
Learn more →
Where page 1 is beatable
Rankings has a new Where page 1 is beatable card, and each keyword's page has Can you get on page 1?. Groow reads Google's first page for every keyword you track: what kind of page ranks (service pages, guides, best-of lists, directories, forum threads), which results above you are weak enough to pass, and what kind of page to make. It also tells you when your page is a different kind from what Google ranks for that search. It uses the weekly rank checks, so there's nothing extra to set up.
Learn more →Developer links: website setup without sharing a login
If someone else runs your website, send them a developer link from AI traffic. It opens a private page, no Groow account needed, with everything Groow needs on the site: the code to count AI crawler visits on their platform with a button to make the key and a check that visits are arriving, the IndexNow file that tells Bing about new pages, and the reviews widget code. Each link works for 14 days, you can see when it was opened, and you can turn it off any time.
Learn more →AI crawler counting on Drupal and other PHP sites
Counting AI crawler visits now has a PHP option for Drupal and custom PHP websites, next to Cloudflare, WordPress, Next.js and Node. It sends Groow the AI crawler visits only, after the page has already gone to the visitor, so pages load exactly as before.
Learn more →Remove a business
Owners and admins can remove a business from Settings by typing its name to confirm. It leaves your dashboard, its checks stop, and its shared report links and crawler connection stop working. Its history is kept, so if you remove one by mistake, ask us and we'll bring it back.
Google updates: what each one did to you
Google has a new Google updates tab. Every time Google announces a ranking update (core, spam and others), Groow compares your Google clicks and rankings before and after it, lists the searches that dropped or gained and the pages behind them, and says what to do about that kind of update. Core updates are also marked on your Search and Rankings charts.
Learn more →A deeper weekly site check
GroowBot's weekly check of your website now also finds the page titles Google rewrites in its results, pages on your site that talk about a search but don't link to the page you want to rank for it, pages better kept out of Google (thank-you pages, archives, ad landing pages), pages buried too deep or missing from your menu, lists that hide their later pages from Google, and, with Search Console connected, pages Google never sends anyone to, with whether to merge or refresh each one.
Learn more →Link health: links that look natural
Links has a new Link health tab. It checks the words other sites use to link to you against a safe mix (about 40% your name, 40% your name with a keyword, 20% keyword only), shows how much of it points at your homepage and which pages are getting links too fast, and says what the next link to each page should say. Ordering a link now warns you as you type if the wording or the pace would look bought. It also compares how many websites link to you and to each competitor, lists the sites that link to them but not to you, and flags spammy links, with a disavow file for Google if you ever need one.
Learn more →Charts you can read at a glance
Every chart in Groow now leads with its number. Point at a week, a day or a check and the big figure at the top changes to it, with the change from the one before, and the legend shows each line's or bar's number for that same point, so there's no small tooltip to chase. AI visibility shows changes in points, Rankings leads with how many of your keywords are on page 1, a keyword's chart shows how many places it moved, and Leads per month shows the current month lighter until it's over. With a keyboard, the arrow keys step through a chart and a screen reader reads each point out. AI traffic by day also no longer shows the days Google Analytics hasn't reported yet as zero.
Listicles: get onto the lists AI cites
Get cited has a new Listicles tab: the "best X" and "top 10" pages AI assistants cite when your customers ask who to hire. For each one Groow shows how often it's cited, who it lists and where, what it judges on, who wrote it and how to be added, and drafts an email to the author asking to be considered. Draft our list writes your own best-of list to match what AI already cites, with you first and your competitors described fairly.
Learn more →Privacy policy: data from connected accounts
Our privacy policy now spells out what Groow reads from each account a business connects (Google Search Console, Analytics, Business Profile and Ads, Meta ad accounts and Facebook Pages, and LinkedIn Pages), what it will and won't do with them, who sees that data, and how to stop it and have it deleted.
Learn more →
Your locations, straight from Google
If your Google account holds all your locations, add hello@groowgroup.com as a Manager on it: once your main profile is linked, Groow adds the other locations with the same business name (address, phone and profile included), ready for rankings, reviews, maps and posts. A location you remove isn't added back.
Google posts and listing watch for each location
With more than one location, each one's Google Business Profile is linked on its own: a Google post can go to one location or all of them (and later to the ones it hasn't reached yet), and a review reply goes to the profile of the location it's for. Listing watch reads every location's public Google listing each week, checks it against that location's address and phone, and tells you when one changes.
Learn more →Reviews and maps for each location
With more than one location, Reviews has a tab for each: every location's Google reviews are read and analysed on their own, refreshed weekly, and compared with the top 3 on that location's own map. Local maps and map campaigns can be centred on any of your locations in one click.
Learn more →More than one location
A business with several locations can now add each one (with its own address and Google Business Profile) under Google & local. Every keyword you track is checked on Google from each location, so you can see where it's winning and where it needs work; a keyword can also be set to one location, or to not local for searches that aren't about a place. Rankings has a location filter and a By location comparison, and wins, alerts and the monthly report name the location.
Learn more →Related keywords, grouped
A keyword lookup now has a Grouped view that sorts its related keywords by what the searcher is after (cost and pricing, reviews and comparisons, questions, near me) and by shared words, with each group's total searches, and saves a whole group in one click. Your saved keywords can be grouped too: Groow suggests groups, you can set or rename them, and Find related on a group looks up more keywords that go straight into it. Rankings filters and compares by group.
Learn more →Rankings: your Google rank tracker
A new Rankings tab under Google shows where you rank for every keyword you track, checked every week: how many are in the top 3, on page 1 and in the top 30, your average position, a 12-week chart, the biggest moves, and every keyword with its change over one and four weeks, your best position, the page that ranks and what else Google shows (AI Overview, map pack, snippet, People also ask). Who else shows up lists the websites ranking for your keywords and how often they beat you. A keyword falling off page 1 shows in your notifications, and the monthly report has a Google rankings section.

What the numbers mean
How to use Groow now has a full glossary: every number and word in Groow, what it means and where its data comes from, grouped into AI answers, Google search, visits and leads, local and reviews, and links and your website. The i next to a number links straight to its entry.
Where every number comes from
Every page with tracked numbers now says where they come from (your AI checks, Search Console, Google Analytics, GroowBot's site checks, map scans or your Google reviews), the date the data on the page is from, and when it next updates. While a check is running it shows how far along it is. How this is measured opens a plain explanation. Shared and monthly reports end with About these numbers: what each figure means, where it comes from and what period it covers.
A monthly report
Reports now has a monthly report: pick any of the last twelve months and see it next to the month before. How often AI named and recommended you, each assistant, your competitors, Google clicks, visits and leads from AI, what was done that month and what's next. It opens as a branded document with six-month trends and a summary in plain English. Save as PDF makes a clean document to send, and Share makes a link your client can open without signing in, showing the latest full month and any earlier one. Agency Enterprise reports carry your logo and colour. A change only shows in colour when it's bigger than normal week-to-week variation.
Learn more →Questions people ask Google
Once Search Console is connected, the Google Search page lists the questions people ask Google that your pages already show up for, grouped by page. For the pages with the most, a recommendation suggests adding an FAQ, and Draft the fix writes the answers from your page and the FAQ markup to go with them.
Learn more →Outreach you can follow to the finish
Link outreach now shows each site's progress after it replies: talking it over, link live, or it didn't happen. Links that go live are added to your Backlinks and checked every week, so you can see they're still there.
Search that does things
Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows): the search now shows the pages you opened last, and can start a check (it asks once more first), copy a link to the page you're on or start the tour, as well as finding questions, competitors and sources.
Your changes on the charts
The AI visibility, AI traffic and Google clicks charts now flag the days you made a change (a recommendation marked done, a draft published or a change you logged), so you can see what happened to your numbers after it. Hover a flag to see what was done; click it for the before and after.
Learn more →A headline for all your clients
For agencies, the Clients page now opens with how many clients need attention, which one has something to fix right now, who moved the most since their last check, and the average across them all.
More consistent pages
Every number tile, filter and label now looks the same from page to page, from Home and Results to Get cited and Settings.
Notifications remember what you've read
The bell now remembers what you've seen on every device: open it on your laptop and it won't show the same updates as new on your phone.
A faster Questions page
The Questions page now loads much faster and sends about half as much to your browser, so even a full list of 200 questions opens quickly, on a phone too.
Tables that fit your phone
On a phone, wide tables (competitors, platforms, sources, pages, crawlers and more) now turn into one card per row: the name on top and each number under its column's name, with no sideways scrolling. Topic grids keep their pinned first column.
Clearer recommendations
The To do list is grouped by impact (high first), with long titles shown in full and confidence and effort as small labels. Each recommendation now says its goal in one line under the title, keeps Accept, Mark done and who's doing it in one bar, lists the steps in order, and explains its score in plain words (High, Medium or Low for each thing it weighs) instead of decimals.
A sharper client report
Shared reports now open with a one-line headline saying what changed since the last check, then the numbers behind it, with a trend line under each number. On Enterprise and Agency Enterprise, white-label reports can also use your brand colour for their charts, next to your name and logo.
Choose the period
AI traffic, Results and Google Search now have a date-range button at the top: the last 7, 28 or 90 days, each compared with the same number of days before. Your choice carries over as you move between pages.
Learn more →Pay for extra links by card
A link order outside your plan's monthly links now has an Approve and pay button on your Links page. It opens a secure Stripe payment page for the price shown on the order, and the order is approved and goes to Groow to place as soon as the payment clears. Your card details go to Stripe only.
A simpler, faster dashboard
Groow is now organised into eight sections (Home, To do, AI visibility, Get cited, Google, Local, Traffic & results and Content), each with its pages as tabs across the top. On phones a menu button opens everything. A cleaner look throughout: clearer page titles, every row of tabs styled the same, sharper charts and tables, and plays shown as a short strip so your numbers come first. Pages show a placeholder the moment you click, recommendations show impact at a glance, and Home opens with a one-line headline saying what changed since the last check, and lists your next steps in one place.
No blank pages while you get set up
Google Search, Keyword map, AI traffic, Results and Pages now show an example, a made-up HVAC business, until your own data arrives, so you can see how each page works and what to connect. Your own numbers replace it the moment there are any, and examples never appear in your reports.
AI crawler visits, by why they came
On AI traffic: connect your site (Cloudflare on any plan, WordPress, Next.js or a server snippet) and Groow counts every AI crawler visit Google Analytics can't see, split into Citation (an assistant reading your page to answer someone right now), Indexing and Training, next to the people AI sends you and their share of your visits. Each crawler is checked against its company's published addresses, and errors crawlers hit are listed.
Learn more →Pages
A new page listing every page on your site with what AI does with it: crawler visits by type, people AI sends, answers that cite it and its Quotable score. Star the pages that matter most to keep them at the top.
Learn more →Competitors by topic
On Competitors: a grid of every topic of questions against you and each competitor, showing how often AI names, recommends or picks each one. Topics where a competitor is at least 15 points ahead are marked Needs work, and every number opens the answers behind it.
Learn more →What kind of websites AI reads
On Sources: the websites AI cites, grouped by kind (review sites and directories, forums, news, your own site, competitors' sites and more) with the share of answers each kind shapes, plus a grid of which websites AI leans on for each topic.
Learn more →
Getting started checklist
New businesses now see a Getting started list at the top of Home: say what you want to be known for, add your Google and social profiles, connect Search Console and Analytics, see your first results and review your first fixes. Each step ticks itself as it's done, with a counter in the sidebar, and the list goes away once all five are.
A clearer setup screen
While Groow reads a new website and gets the first check ready, the whole screen shows what it's doing for that site, step by step.
Quotable pages, done for you
Groow now checks your most important pages every week on its own (the ones AI cites, then the rest of your key pages) and writes the fixes. Quotable pages opens on “What to fix first”: each problem as a step, with the new opening, Quick facts, questions and FAQ markup ready to copy.
