name	Comparison Page Builder
description	Builds an honest "X vs Y" or "best alternative to X" comparison page — scannable table plus use-case routing copy — for high-intent commercial searches. Use when the user wants to create a "vs" or "alternative-to" page, a competitor comparison table, or copy that names a rival and asks which product to choose.

Comparison Page Builder

Build a comparison page that wins "X vs Y" and "best alternative to X" searches by being genuinely fair, because a shopper who catches one false claim about a rival distrusts every claim about you.

Workflow

1. Gather inputs: your product, the named competitor(s), the buyer segment you serve best, and the real, verifiable differences. If the requester cannot supply verifiable differences, stop and ask — do not invent them.
2. Concede at least one real point: name something the competitor genuinely does better. Honest concession is what makes every other claim believable; "we win on everything" reads as marketing and converts worse.
3. Build the table as the page centerpiece. Pick 6–10 criteria that drive the buying decision (price, key features, support, warranty, ease of use, fit for use case), not vanity specs. One short value, phrase, or checkmark per cell. Attribute and date competitor figures; where a value is unknown, write "varies" or omit the cell — never fabricate a number.
4. Frame by use case: add "Choose us if…" and "Choose them if…" blocks above or below the table. This routes the right buyer in, the wrong-fit buyer out (fewer refunds, better retention), and captures "X vs Y for [use case]" long-tail intent.
5. Optimize for the query: use natural "X vs Y" phrasing in the H1, title, and intro; answer the implicit "which is better" question in the first paragraph so it can earn a featured snippet; add an FAQ of "Is X or Y better for…" questions; link to the relevant product page with descriptive anchor text.
6. Run the legal/ethics check before shipping: every comparative claim is substantiated, accurate, and dated; no disparagement, no misleading trademark use, no stale pricing.

Quality bar

• Every competitor data point is verifiable and carries a source or date; no fabricated specs or prices.
• At least one genuine competitor advantage is stated plainly.
• Both "Choose us if…" and "Choose them if…" blocks are present and route distinct buyer segments.
• The H1, title, and first paragraph all use the literal "X vs Y" phrasing and answer the buyer's question directly.

Do NOT

• Do not misstate a competitor's features or hide your product's weaknesses — refuse if asked; it destroys trust and invites legal exposure.
• Do not fill the table with vanity specs that do not affect the buying decision.
• Do not force a head-to-head your product loses on the criteria most searchers care about; recommend a niche-angle page on a use case you genuinely win instead.
• Do not ship undated or unsourced competitor pricing and specs.
• Do NOT use when building a single-product landing page, PDP, or generic marketing copy with no named rival, or an internal feature-comparison spec — those are not commercial-intent "vs" pages.
