# Compare Engines

> Compare your site's performance across Google and Bing side by side.

The `compare_engines` and `opportunity_matrix` tools let you see how your site performs across **Google, Bing, and GA4** side by side.

## What It Does

It pulls data from both Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, normalizes it, and shows you the differences. For each keyword or page, you'll see:

* **Clicks, impressions, CTR, and position** on each engine
* **Deltas** — how much the position and CTR differ between engines
* **Signals** — automatic alerts that highlight opportunities and risks

## Signals

The tool automatically flags important patterns:

| Signal                   | What It Means                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `bing_opportunity`       | You rank well on Google (top 5) but poorly on Bing (10+). Easy win to optimize for Bing.                                   |
| `google_dependency_risk` | Over 85% of your clicks come from Google. You're too dependent on one engine.                                              |
| `ctr_mismatch`           | Similar rankings on both engines, but very different click-through rates. Your titles or snippets may display differently. |
| `ranking_divergence`     | A 7+ position gap between Google and Bing for the same keyword. Worth investigating.                                       |

## Example Prompts

Try these with your AI agent:

> "Compare my top keywords on Google vs. Bing for the last 30 days. Which keywords rank better on Bing?"

> "Show me keywords where I'm in the top 5 on Google but not ranking well on Bing. These are my Bing opportunities."

> "Am I too dependent on Google? Check my click share across both engines."
