Build comparison pages for buy-intent product

Why this matters

Pick one buying decision and create pages for the queries where people compare, replace or choose a product. Add findings the current results miss, then link the new pages to the cluster guide and the product page so search engines and buyers see one connected answer.

How to apply it

List the queries for one buying decisionGeneral best practice
Choose a single buying decision and collect the queries where people compare, replace or choose a product inside it. Tag each query as compare, replace or choose.
Check
```
A sheet lists the queries, each tagged compare, replace or choose, all belonging to one buying decision.
```
Publish one page per decisionGeneral best practice
Create a page that answers the decision directly instead of merging several decisions into one URL. Use a comparison, alternatives or buying-guide format to match the query.
Check
```
The new URL returns HTTP 200 and its main heading names the specific decision, not the whole category.
```
Add the findings the current results miss
Read the current results for the query alongside real user questions, then add the comparison data, test result or answer they leave out.
Check
```
The page contains at least one comparison table, test result or answered question that is absent from the top three ranking pages.
```
Link the pages into a topic cluster
Connect the new page to the cluster guide and to the product page that solves the problem, and add a link from the guide back to the new page.
Check
```
View-source of the new page shows anchors to the cluster guide and the product page, and the guide's HTML links back to the new page.
```
Match the format to what AI answers cite
Inspect the sources cited in AI answers for the same query and note which page types appear. Adjust the page format where your page differs from what is being cited.
Check
```
Notes record the cited source types for the query, and at least one page on the site follows that format.
```
