What it is.
The five steps: target the right search intent, structure the page for instant clarity, concede the competitor's genuine strengths, use customer proof, then handle search and conversion together.
These pages run around 5% and up, roughly 15x a standard blog post, because a query like tool A versus tool B comes from someone already deciding.

How to set it up.
Pick competitors by branded search volume, so you build pages people are already looking for.
Match the query form exactly, since alternatives and versus are different intents.
Put the comparison table high, because a visitor mid-decision wants the answer before the argument.
Concede the competitor's genuine strengths, as a page that claims total superiority reads as an ad.
Add a named customer who switched, with a number attached.
Check the page on mobile before launch, since the comparison table is where mobile layouts break.
Use cases
Build the page in order
Work the five steps and put on the page what each one calls for.
Answer the rival search
Publish the comparison buyers are already looking for by name.
Make the case for the work
Use the conversion benchmark when a comparison page needs prioritizing.
Best for
A category with named rivals
If buyers type your competitor's name next to yours, the page already has demand.
Bottom-funnel gaps
Plenty of content libraries have no page for the query a buyer types last.
Paid landing pages
The same structure works for competitor-term paid campaigns.
