46
Sameness · vs 1 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is half shared.

About half of what your page says, Huron Valley Sales also says. You're less same than 39 of the 48 services sites scored (services avg 59).

No category benchmark matched this set.
Sameness Index on a 0 to 100 scale, from distinctive at 0 to interchangeable at 100. This page scores 46. Huron Valley Sales scores 76. The services avg is 59.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 1 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

  1. Less same than average

    The average services site scores 59; you scored 46.

    You are 13 points less same than the average services site.

  2. Closest overlap: Huron Valley Sales

    Of the 1 site you named, Huron Valley Sales echoes the most of what your page says. Scored the same way against the rest of the set, Huron Valley Sales sits at 76.

    Huron Valley Sales is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    9% of your claim space is ownable: unique, relevant, and hard to copy. 2 of those claims sit in body copy, where few readers reach them.

    9% is ownable, and 2 buried opportunities could help you stand out more.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Huron Valley Sales: 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. “Carwash Boilers will engineer a solution that delivers measurable results”

    Huron Valley Sales 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. “ASME rated pressure vessel”

    Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.

    Surface
    Yours alone. Test it higher up.
  3. “Hot water washes cleaner, better, faster by accelerating chemical reactions to break down dirt and oil for easier removal from vehicle surfaces”

    A claim that is yours alone, filed in body copy. Try it where it will be read before the shared claims are, and let buyers tell you if it moves them.

    Surface
    Yours alone. Test it higher up.

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.

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.

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%57The 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%55Every 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%50Expected 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%20Same 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%65Weighted 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 “Carwash Boilers will engineer a solution that delivers measurable results”.

    Huron Valley Sales 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 “Ready to improve performance, cut energy costs, boost uptime?”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: huron Valley Sales 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 “Best products, service, support, integrity”.

    This is the set's common ground — Huron Valley Sales 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 “Floor heat boilers are sized and configured to fit your facility's needs”.

    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 “For over 15 years, Carwash Boilers has partnered with operators to lower energy costs, improve wash performan…”.

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

  6. 6

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.
