Sameness · vs 2 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is mostly the same.

Most of what your page says, Embacy says too. You're less same than 1 of the 8 Marketing agencies sites scored (category avg 60).

Benchmarked against Marketing agencies (the category you chose).
Sameness Index on a 0 to 100 scale, from distinctive at 0 to interchangeable at 100. This page scores 66. Feely scores 66. Embacy scores 50. The category avg is 60.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 2 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

  1. More same than average

    The average Marketing agencies category leader scores 60; you scored 66.

    You are 6 points more same than the average Marketing agencies category leader.

  2. Closest overlap: Embacy

    Of the 2 sites you named, Embacy echoes the most of what your page says. Scored the same way against the rest of the set, Embacy sits at 50.

    Embacy is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Little to own yet

    No claim on your page is unique, relevant to a buying decision and hard to copy all at once.

    Nothing yet passes all three ownership tests.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Feely and Embacy: 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.

  1. We help with launches, repositioning, website redesigns, product UX, and sales materials.

    Feely and Embacy all say it too. 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.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.
  2. Strategy and design for companies with complex products or services.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: feely and Embacy all say it too, and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.

Try these changes, then test them with real buyers.

This measures overlap. Whether buyers notice is a different question, and only they can answer it.

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.

Already leading with · 0

Nothing owned sits at hero or section level yet.

Buried in body copy · 0

Nothing buried. Every claim you own is already above body copy.

03

Where you blend in

Territory you spend prominent space on that the set also occupies. Not every line is one to delete — the question is whether it has earned the space, or whether something only you can say should be there instead.

Whether a competitor could truthfully make the same claim: anyone could, copyable with effort, or hard to copy.
Relevant

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
The six category scores, their weights, and what a high score in each one means
CategoryWeightYoursWhat a high score means
Messaging
Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised
30%100The 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%47Every 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%87Expected 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%58Same 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%0The 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%54Weighted 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 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

  1. 1
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “We help with launches, repositioning, website redesigns, product UX, and sales materials.”.

    Feely and Embacy all say it too. 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.

  2. 2
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “Strategy and design for companies with complex products or services.”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: feely and Embacy all say it too, and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  3. 3
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Branding & Rebranding: You get messages, visual direction, guidelines, templates, and source files.”.

    This is the set's common ground — Feely and Embacy all say it too. 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.

  4. 4
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Strategy & Positioning: You get positioning, evidence priorities, and a 90-day roadmap.”.

    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.

  5. 5
    Table stakesYour section copy says “9+ industries”.

    True of you and true of them: Feely and Embacy all say it too. That is why it decides nothing, and why the section is the wrong place to spend it.

  6. 6
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Design & Brand partner from 2019. Ranked #43 on The Globe and Mail's Top Growing Companies.”.

    In the section: Keep the fact, lose the position: feely and Embacy all say it too, and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  7. 7
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Clutch 5.0 (7 reviews)”.

    In the section: Feely and Embacy all say it too. 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.

    In the section: Feely and Embacy all say it too. 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.
