SEO Strategy: Why ‘Versus’ Pages Are Your Secret Weapon
October 10, 2026

Why versus pages are your secret SEO weapon. Noah Kagan shipped 19 SEO pages from a $20 Mac app and got six sales in three days, and Eric breaks down the two page types every product needs: versus pages and best-for guides. Neil adds two fixes, getting other sites to publish them and comparing the brands ChatGPT and Claude already recommend, and says comparison pages drive more revenue than listicles. Then Instinct: 10% daily growth, 40% of users adding a card, and why Neil would sell it to Apple. Sam Lessin says there is no moat in AI agents, Neil’s Muse test turns hundreds of drafts into three sent emails, and Outrank’s data shows sites with 400+ links got 115% more Google clicks. A practical episode on SEO and AI agents.

Key takeaways

◾Build versus and alternative pages for the competitors AI already cites

◾AI agents have little loyalty, so the product has to keep earning it

◾Linkable assets still move Google clicks
