Chosen by rule from the comparison with Gallagher, Aon, Lockton New Zealand and Rothbury Insurance Brokers: the shared claim taking your most prominent space, then the claims only you make that sit too low on the page to be read. Each one links to its claim card.
- “We don’t help clients meet the market. We help them outperform.”
Gallagher, Aon and Rothbury Insurance Brokers say it too (75% of the set). Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

Keep the fact, lose the position: gallagher, Aon, Lockton New Zealand and Rothbury Insurance Brokers all say it too, and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

Why this is not 100 minus the Sameness Index
The index is a weighted composite across six categories, including page structure and visuals. This bar is measured on your claims alone, weighted by where each one sits on the page. Different denominators, so the two never add to 100 and are not meant to.

What the columns mean
- Claim
- The grouped claim, then your exact line beneath it.
- Type
- What kind of claim it is: category, segment, outcome, capability, quality or proof.
- Placement
- Where it sits on your page: hero, section or body copy. Hero claims weigh most in the index.
- Same claim
- Share of the competitors making this exact claim. Drives ownership and ownable share.
- Same territory
- Share of the competitors with any claim in the same buyer-facing territory. This is what the index is scored on.
- Sayability
- Whether a competitor could truthfully make the same claim: anyone could, copyable with effort, or hard to copy.
- Relevant
- Whether buyers decide on this. A unique claim nobody buys on is not ownable.
- Ownership
- Commodity: 60% or more of the set says it. Contested: 20–59%. Unique: under 20%, owned when it is also hard to copy.

How this was calculated
Sameness measures how much your claims overlap with the sites compared. It does not measure message quality or whether buyers prefer you.
AI-analyzed: an AI read each page on its own and grouped the claims that say the same thing. No score here was written by a model — every number is computed from those groupings in our own code, with the weights below.
How the score is built
| Category | Weight | Yours | What a high score means |
|---|---|---|---|
Messaging Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised | 30% | 36 | The most expensive kind of sameness. A buyer cannot tell what job you do that the others do not. |
Claims Attribute and benefit claims — speed, ease, quality, ROI | 30% | 75 | Every shared claim is a line already read on another tab. Cut the ones nobody owns and spend the space on something they cannot. |
Features Capabilities and functions the page lists | 15% | 50 | Expected in a mature category, and the least alarming of the six. Feature parity is normal; leading with it is the mistake. |
Proof The kinds of evidence offered: customer logos, numbers, testimonials, case studies, badges | 10% | 25 | Same kinds of proof as everyone means the proof stops working as proof. It is scored on the kind of evidence, not on which customers are named. |
Structure Section order, navigation, CTA language and placement | 10% | n/a | The generic SaaS template — hero, logos, three-feature grid, testimonial, CTA. Familiar is not the same as memorable. |
Visual Palette family, imagery style, layout patterns | 5% | 47 | Weighted lowest on purpose: buyers rarely decide on this. Worth knowing, rarely worth fixing first. |
Each site was read on its own first, with no knowledge of the others, so your page gets no benefit of the doubt a competitor’s does not. A category nothing could be measured for drops out and the rest are re-weighted, rather than counted as zero.
What we compared (5 pages read)
What it cannot tell you
The index can find where two pages converge. It cannot say whether a buyer would notice, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. A single check also moves several points between runs, so read the band and the ranking, not the last digit.
Your highest-impact changes
- 1Table stakesYour hero copy says “We don’t help clients meet the market. We help them outperform.”.
Gallagher, Aon and Rothbury Insurance Brokers say it too (75% of the set). Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.
- 2Table stakesYour section copy says “150+ Specialists nationally, across 7 locations”.
Keep the fact, lose the position: gallagher, Aon, Lockton New Zealand and Rothbury Insurance Brokers all say it too, and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.
- 3Table stakesYour section copy says “Creating a high level of accountability for client outcomes.”.
This is the set's common ground — Gallagher, Aon and Rothbury Insurance Brokers say it too (75% of the set). It will not set you apart wherever it sits, and in the section it costs you the one place a distinctive claim would be read.
- 4Table stakesYour section copy says “Not a once-a-year renewal touchpoint.”.
A buyer with three tabs open reads a version of this on every one of them. Say it further down for the readers who need it; the section should carry a claim they will only find here.
- 5Table stakesYour section copy says “When you call, we answer.”.
True of you and true of them: Gallagher, Lockton New Zealand and Rothbury Insurance Brokers say it too (75% of the set). That is why it decides nothing, and why the section is the wrong place to spend it.
- 6Table stakesYour section copy says “Our people are fully embedded in the client relationship, not diluted across hundreds of clients.”.
In the section: Gallagher, Lockton New Zealand and Rothbury Insurance Brokers say it too (75% of the set). Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your section — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.
The only way to know if it matters.
This report can tell you where your messaging overlaps. It cannot tell you whether a buyer would care, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. Put the page in front of real B2B buyers in your target market and ask them.
