Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Blackpoint (Blackpoint Cyber / CompassOne), ConnectWise Managed EDR, Guardz and Sophos MDR: 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. backed and operated by our industry-proven, 24/7 AI-Centric SOC for continuous threat protection

    Blackpoint (Blackpoint Cyber / CompassOne), ConnectWise Managed EDR, Guardz and Sophos MDR 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.

    Most of the set says this too.
  2. 4.8/5 based on 1,200+ G2 reviews

    Keep the fact, lose the position: blackpoint (Blackpoint Cyber / CompassOne), ConnectWise Managed EDR, Guardz and Sophos MDR 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.

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.

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.

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%50The 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%72Every 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%82Expected 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%23Same 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%50The 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%37Weighted 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 “backed and operated by our industry-proven, 24/7 AI-Centric SOC for continuous threat protection”.

    Blackpoint (Blackpoint Cyber / CompassOne), ConnectWise Managed EDR, Guardz and Sophos MDR 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 “4.8/5 based on 1,200+ G2 reviews”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: blackpoint (Blackpoint Cyber / CompassOne), ConnectWise Managed EDR, Guardz and Sophos MDR all say it too, and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  3. 3
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “We wreck hackers.”.

    This is the set's common ground — Blackpoint (Blackpoint Cyber / CompassOne), ConnectWise Managed EDR and Sophos MDR say it too (75% of the set). It will not set you apart wherever it sits, and in the hero it costs you the one place a distinctive claim would be read.

  4. 4
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Managed ITDR finds and stops identity-based threats in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace”.

    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 “5M+ endpoints”.

    True of you and true of them: Blackpoint (Blackpoint Cyber / CompassOne), ConnectWise Managed EDR, Guardz and Sophos MDR 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 “Managed EDR doesn't just watch your endpoints—it's a complete solution”.

    In the section: This is the set's common ground — Blackpoint (Blackpoint Cyber / CompassOne), ConnectWise Managed EDR, Guardz and Sophos MDR 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.

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.
