What it is.

Glen Allsopp runs Detailed, and the work behind it is monitoring 2,114 websites across 23 niches for ranking changes, link buying, and who owns what. The emails are where the findings land.

Three a month at most, and each one tends to be a report with the companies named, which is the part most SEO writing leaves out.

The reports stay free and open on the site, so you can read a year of them before you subscribe.

What you get.

  • Up to 3 emails a month, each usually built on a dataset
  • Named companies and named sites, including the ones buying links
  • Coverage of who owns the publishers ranking above you
  • Reports on GEO and AI search from the same monitoring set
  • Free access to the full report archive on the site
