Your page scores 53 out of 100 for sameness against the 4 competitors you named.

Claims only you make, that buyers weigh, and that competitors can’t easily copy.

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.
