Win in AI-Generated Comparisons
Strategies to ensure your brand appears favorably when AI compares products and services in your category.
Overview
Comparison results occur when users ask AI to compare options: 'X vs Y' or 'compare the best [products]'. AI synthesizes information to create side-by-side evaluations.
Why It Matters
Users increasingly ask AI to compare options before purchasing. Appearing favorably in AI comparisons can be the deciding factor in winning customers. Poor comparison visibility means losing at a critical decision point.
