Alternatives page
A page listing alternative solutions in a category, often including yourself.
Definition
Alternatives pages capture discovery intent. They work best when they explain trade-offs with citable criteria rather than attacking competitors.
In practice
- Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
- Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
- Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
