If you're not ranking for comparison queries like “Your Brand vs. Competitor", chances are, your competitors (or third-party sites) are. That means you’re losing high-intent, ready-to-convert traffic to narratives you don’t control.
Even if you’re the better product, it won’t matter if prospects only see biased comparisons or flashy competitor pages. That’s where a well-built competitor comparison landing page becomes your moat. It lets you steer the conversation, build trust, and win business.
But here’s the catch: most brands get these pages wrong. They often oversell their product or miss the mark by not offering fair, objective comparisons that address the real needs of potential customers.
In this blog, we’ll share TripleDart Digital’s battle-tested approach to creating competitor comparison landing pages that both educate and convert.
At TripleDart, we use five highly effective strategies to craft competitor landing pages that rank high and convert fast. The first three strategies focus on context, clarity, and credibility. The fourth is about conversion, and the fifth focuses on continuity.
Let's take a look at each one of these.
Not all comparison searches mean the same thing. Some users want a straight feature-by-feature breakdown. Others are trying to solve a pain point and need reassurance. Some are already using a competitor and looking for a reason to switch.
If your comparison page treats all three the same, you leave conversions on the table. Let’s break it down.
These users search for “X vs. Y” to compare them side-by-side. They care about pricing, integrations, scalability, support, and features. They want facts that will help them make the final decision.
For example, if someone searches for "Shopify vs. WooCommerce," they’re likely comparing features, costs, and usability to decide which platform best suits their business needs. The goal is to give them a clear, unbiased comparison table that presents complex data, not marketing claims.
This group is less concerned about a direct comparison between products. Instead, they want to know which one actually solves their problem better.
Your content should address their pain, not just your perks. .
Now, here’s a crucial group. They’re already tried a competitor’s product and are looking for a reason to leave. Your job is to show them why switching is worth it. A comparison page, in this case, should focus on the competitor's weaknesses—gently, of course—and highlight the strengths of your solution.
Let’s say someone searches "Stripe vs PayPal for small business." They could already be dissatisfied with PayPal’s fees or customer service, and they need a clear reason to switch to Stripe.
Next time you create a comparison landing page, ask yourself: Who’s searching for this, and what are they hoping to find? Addressing the right intent can make all the difference in conversion rates, trust, and user engagement.
Users don’t read. They scan. If they can’t immediately find what they’re looking for, they leave. A cluttered or overly salesy comparison page kills conversions.
You must ensure that the most critical information, including pricing, features, support options, and integrations, is prominently displayed. Place a clear, side-by-side comparison table at the top that mentions all these elements.
But remember: the type of comparison table you use depends on your product and what you’re highlighting.
You can further support this with text explaining why your product excels. For example, FreshBooks positions itself as more user-friendly than QuickBooks, which often requires accounting knowledge.
Take a look at how TripleDart Digital does this:
Most brands use text for testimonials, but video testimonials are a powerful way to showcase authenticity. If you use video, summarize key takeaways in the text, as IBM does it effectively.
Pro Tip: To make the comparison easy to scan, use color-coded highlights. You can use green to showcase your strengths, and neutral grays to list your competitor’s features without bias. This design trick helps users quickly process and understand the key differences between you and the competition.
To build trust on a comparison page, avoid exaggerated claims. Saying, “We’re better” without proof weakens credibility.
Instead, approach competitor’s strengths strategically and use them to highlight your product’s advantages.
Apple does it effectively on its iPhone comparison page. Rather than criticize Android, Apple highlights its seamless integration of hardware and software as a clear advantage over Android’s fragmented ecosystem. The comparison feels confident, not combative.
You can apply the same principle by using testimonials that show contrast. Use a side-by-side approach, wherein one quote from a customer frustrated with the competitor and another praising your solution.
For example: “Customer A felt lost with the complexity of Competitor X, but Customer B found our product intuitive and easy to navigate from the start.”
Or, you can see how ClickUp does it:
By addressing your competitor’s strengths with honesty and presenting them in a way that strengthens your product’s advantages, you build credibility and keep the conversation grounded in real-world user needs.
Bold claims need real proof, otherwise, they’re just empty words. The most effective comparison pages reinforce key differentiators with data, case studies, and customer stories that show actual results.
For example, ActualTech Media detailed their switch from Slack to Microsoft Teams in a blog post. In the article, they shared their team's positive experiences with Teams’ contextualization and file-sharing features while acknowledging the challenges, like notification issues and a lack of proper archiving.
This candid feedback boosts authenticity and shows the genuine benefits and trade-offs involved in making the switch.
Numbers speak louder than words. Provide concrete data to support your claims. TripleDart Digital effectively uses case studies that highlight tangible results. Simple statements like:
“Rezolve.ai achieved a 105% increase in clicks from organic search,”
“Users who switched to us reduced churn by 32% within 3 months”,
immediately catches attention and convinces prospects to switch.
Or, you can also provide punchy success stories from real customers who switched to you. This format works because it’s direct and gives prospects quick, easy-to-digest insights into how others like them benefited.
For example, HubSpot features a section with brief customer stories about users leaving competitors like Marketo or Pardot:
These bite-sized success stories highlight why customers switched and convey the improvements they saw after the switch.
When building competitor comparison landing pages, you should optimize for SEO and conversions both. Start by targeting high-intent keywords like “Competitor vs. Your Brand” or “Competitor Alternatives.” Include these in the URL, page title, meta description, and H1 for better visibility.
Another key element is structured data. Google loves it, especially when it comes to comparison tables, which can give you an edge in rich snippet rankings. You can also use tools like Schema.org to help you structure these tables to improve your visibility.
Create multiple comparison pages, even if you don’t have branded competitive search terms. Compare your brand against well-known competitors, such as Apple's landing page, which compares its iPhone models (e.g., iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 15).
You can use interlinking to your advantage, as it drives traffic to your comparison pages from related blog posts or product pages.
For example, if your product is mentioned in a blog about competitor features, link to your comparison page for deeper insights. This improves your on-page SEO and increases the chances of converting that traffic.
Once you’ve optimized for SEO, ensure you’re converting that traffic effectively.
Use sticky CTAs, like a “Try [Your Product] Free” button that stays visible as users scroll through the page. This is crucial for keeping your product top-of-mind. You can also offer a competitor switch incentive, like “Get 3 Months Free When You Switch”, to encourage users to take the leap.
TripleDart uses the CTA “Book a Call” and places it throughout their landing pages.
Finally, track important metrics like scroll depth, time on page and click-through rates. These will tell you how well your comparison page performs and help you refine the structure over time.
If a competitor page feels too pushy, vague, or unfair, visitors won’t trust it. To make sure your page converts instead of repelling prospects, avoid these common errors.
Don't get caught up in trashing the competition. Directly attacking your competitors may feel satisfying, but it does more harm than good. You can highlight your strengths in a way that respects the competition.
For example, a claim like “Competitor X is terrible for customer support” doesn’t build trust and creates a negative tone that could deter prospects.
You can say, "We offer 24/7 customer support, while Competitor X's support hours are limited." This comparison stays factual and positions you positively without disparaging the competitor.
No one wants to read a novel. People want answers quickly. Hence, break up your content into digestible pieces with bullet points, tables, and visuals that highlight key differences between you and your competitors.
Your goal is to deliver value instantly and not overwhelm your audience with too much information. If it takes too long for them to find what they need, they’ll bounce.
With over half of web traffic coming from mobile devices, your comparison page must load quickly and function seamlessly across screen sizes.
Ensure everything from text to comparison tables and CTAs works seamlessly on all devices. If your page isn’t mobile-friendly, your conversions will drop.
If you focus only on your product's strengths, you may miss an opportunity to address potential customers' concerns. Every prospect has objections, whether it’s price, features, or usability. Address these concerns upfront.
If your pricing is higher than the competitor’s, highlight the long-term value or the unique features that justify the price. If a potential buyer hesitates, explain how easy it is to make the switch or offer incentives.
To give you some inspiration, here are four well-crafted competitor comparison landing pages that stand out for their structure and content:
Dyte’s competitor comparison pages, such as Dyte vs Zoom and Dyte vs Agora, do a great job of keeping things clear and focused. The pages feature clean comparison tables that highlight key features and benefits, making it easy for users to compare Dyte with its competitors.
They use color-coded highlights to direct your attention to their strengths, and include upfront pricing, which helps build trust.
Plus, their CTAs are placed strategically throughout the page, pushing visitors to take action. Their entire layout is mobile-friendly, which ensures seamless experience across all devices.
Signeasy takes a user-first approach to competitor comparison pages by focusing on relatable pain points and differentiators without overwhelming readers. Their comparison against SignNow, highlights ratings, security features, and advanced features.
The tone is approachable, and the transparent pricing, and strong CTA placement encourages prospects to take the next step without being pushy.
ClickUp does an excellent job of creating content tailored for various types of search intent, offering a comparison page and a blog post.
Their PPC-focused comparison page features a clear, benefit-oriented table (especially highlighting the free plan).
The blog post, on the other hand, goes deeper into how they outperform tools like Notion in terms of versatility and customizability.
This dual approach captures both short-term PPC traffic and long-term organic SEO potential.
Webflow’s comparison page against Squarespace is a great example of integrating design with functionality. They use a dynamic scale bar instead of a traditional comparison table, highlighting which platform excels in different categories.
This interactive element makes the comparison visually engaging and helps guide users through various aspects, from design capabilities to e-commerce features. The page also includes detailed sections on specific features and ends with a section showcasing customer testimonials, further adding to the page’s credibility.
Customers love checking off boxes before committing to a purchase.
Competitor comparison pages help customers understand why they should choose your product. By comparing features, prices, and benefits, they feel confident in selecting your solution over others.
