GOA Testers

Help us find out what the algorithms actually reward.

GOA runs controlled, public experiments on the algorithms behind digital marketing. Testers make them possible, and testers see the results first.

Free. No spam, no sales. Unsubscribe anytime.

What you get

Early access to results. You see each result before it is published, so you know what worked (and what did nothing) before the rest of the industry reads about it.
Credit on every experiment you join, if you want it. When an experiment's results go live, your name is on it.
Your tester profile on the site. An opt-in profile that collects the experiments you have contributed to.
Suggest tests. Got a marketing claim you have always doubted? Testers can suggest tests for future experiments.

How it works

1 · Sign up. Join the tester list. It takes under a minute.
2 · Get a task. When an experiment needs hands, you get a short email with a small, clear task.
3 · See the result first. Once the data is in, you get the result early, and your credit appears when it is published.

What testers do

Small tasks on real sites and social posts, a few minutes each. You follow simple instructions and you are done.

We keep the details of each experiment private until it ends. If testers knew what was being measured, it could skew the data. Keeping you blind keeps the results honest.

Credit & privacy

Credit is added after an experiment's results are published. There are no live tester lists.
Credit is opt-in. You choose your display name and, if you like, one link.
We never publish your real name or social profiles without your permission.
Testing is unpaid. No prizes or rewards for actions. You get recognition and early access to results.

FAQ

How much time does it take?

Most tasks take a few minutes. You only hear from us when an experiment needs testers.

Why won't you tell me exactly what is being tested?

Knowing what is measured can change how people act, which can contaminate the data. You will learn everything when the results are out, before the public does.

Do I get paid?

No. Testing is voluntary. Testers get early access to results, credit on each published experiment, and an opt-in tester profile.

Will my name be public?

Only if you want it to be. You choose a display name and an optional link, and credit only appears after results are published.

Can I stop anytime?

Yes. Skip any task, or unsubscribe whenever you like.
