Counting How Many Cells =, <, > a particular range/number

[usererrr]

I am trying to compare search result position between current search results and search result set in development.

Current Position 1
Dev Position 2
Change (-1)
(so this example shows dev work is worse than current)

Then I just diff'd these and did conditional formatting to show line-by-line what terms were the same (0), which were worse (a negative number--like the example above), and which are better (a positive number above zero).

I would like to know in an a glance how many terms stayed the same, got worse, are better. I've tried COUNTA and some tip from the site on counting within a range; but am just having a hard time groking how to do this properly.

Any insight? Thank you!

counts how many zeros, does this help?
