Purpose
“Best X” pages are highly citeable. AI models look for structured, comparative content with clear criteria. This playbook outlines how to build a page that earns citations, and how to measure it in Pierview.Page structure
- Intro: What the page covers and who it’s for (1–2 short paragraphs)
- Criteria: How you evaluated options (transparency = trust)
- Comparison table: Side-by-side view of options (include your product fairly)
- Individual sections: Each option with pros, cons, best for whom
- FAQ: 5–10 common questions with direct answers
- Conclusion / Summary: Short recap and recommendation
What AI likes
- Clear criteria: “We evaluated on pricing, features, support”, explains the logic
- Comparisons: Head-to-head formats match “X vs Y” and “best X” prompts
- FAQs: Direct answers to “how to choose,” “what’s the difference”
- Structure: Headings, lists, tables; easy to parse
- Balance: Include alternatives; pure self-promotion gets ignored
Avoid: Thin content, no criteria, only your product. AI prefers useful roundups.
