# Create a Best X Page That Earns Citations

> Structure, criteria, FAQs, what AI likes. Measure success in Pierview.

## 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

1. **Intro**: What the page covers and who it's for (1–2 short paragraphs)
2. **Criteria**: How you evaluated options (transparency = trust)
3. **Comparison table**: Side-by-side view of options (include your product fairly)
4. **Individual sections**: Each option with pros, cons, best for whom
5. **FAQ**: 5–10 common questions with direct answers
6. **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

<Info>
  **Avoid:** Thin content, no criteria, only your product. AI prefers useful roundups.
