    Why this matters

    Defining specific buyer-use cases for each product clarifies differences, aligns with high-intent queries, and increases AI citation by making comparisons more relevant and credible.

    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Identify key buyer personas or use cases relevant to the product category and competitors.
    2. For each product, describe how it suits specific buyer profiles, including clear criteria (e.g., company size, technical ability).
    3. Structure the page to include a 'Use Case Fit' section that lists these associations distinctly.
    4. Ensure language remains factual and neutral, avoiding superlative or promotional terms.
    5. Update use case descriptions regularly to reflect changes in product features or target markets.

    Watch for

    Avoid generic or vague claims that do not specify which user types benefit most from each product, as this reduces citation potential and user trust.

    Definition of done

    Comparison pages explicitly map each product to well-defined buyer profiles or scenarios in a dedicated section, enhancing informativeness and neutrality.
