Neighbor queries and the MCP calls

School-communication Google Search neighbors also printed large 30-day gains in the same August 29 2026 snapshot, which is why gofan belongs next to those topic pages rather than next to a one-day sports headline, and why the related grid points at ParentSquare, ClassDojo, and College GameDay. Schoology rose 341.67%. ClassDojo rose 246.15%. ParentSquare rose 182.14%. College GameDay rose 160.0%. Canvas login rose 155.0%. NFHS rose 86.67%. Kahoot rose 73.68%. Those neighbors share a back-to-school calendar, not a shared product. App Store Top Free as of 2026-08-29T02:01:36Z listed ParentSquare at rank 18, Canvas by Instructure at 44, GoFan: Buy Tickets to Events at 45, and ClassDojo at 50. App downloads for co.gofan.fan.iron returned 81 daily points, a 7-day drop of 45.74% from 18.8 to 10.2, and a 30-day gain of 39.73% from 7.3 to 10.2, with install volume 3,570 versus 6,591 a week earlier. That series cannot carry a topic page.

get_time_series with source google search and keyword gofan is the call behind the chart: 260 weekly points from 2021-09-04 through 2026-08-22, stored as {date, value} with no smoothing. get_growth on the same pair, windows 7D and 30D, is the headline math: 33 to 66 (+100.0%) and 9 to 66 (+633.33%). Those tools have to share a source. Mixing the Android 10.2 with the Google Search 66 would invent a story the APIs do not tell. The Google Search data page documents the 0-100 weekly index. Topic pages: ParentSquare, ClassDojo, College GameDay.
