FAQ

Comparison page design, answered

The questions people ask before rebuilding an X vs Y page, answered from 235 real ones.

What should a comparison page include?

01

More than four in five carry a side-by-side table. About three in five mark the features with ticks and crosses, about as many quote customers, and a little over half answer an FAQ under the table.

Should a comparison page admit what the competitor does better?

02

Yes. Close to half name at least one thing the competitor genuinely does better, and it ties for the widest split in the set: nearly nine in ten of the strongest pages do it, against about one in six of the weakest. About one in three go further and say outright who should pick the competitor, which is three in four of the strongest against almost none of the weakest.

Should a comparison page show both prices?

03

About two in five put the competitor's price next to their own. Seven in ten of the strongest pages do, against one in ten of the weakest.

How many rows should the comparison table have?

04

Ten is the middle of the set, and half of the tables run between seven and sixteen rows. Fewer than one in forty compare three things or less, and about one in six go to twenty rows or more.

How do I make a comparison page credible?

05

Date it and source it. About three in ten say when the comparison was last checked, and a little over one in four cite a source for their claims. Half of the strongest pages carry a date, against about one in six of the weakest.

How is this different from the best landing pages leaderboard?
