Sameness Index · 5 sites compared

Your page scores 32 out of 100 for sameness against the 4 competitors you named — low enough that buyers can probably tell you apart.

Sameness · vs 4 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is mostly your own.

Most of what you say, Broadsign and the rest of your set do not. You're less same than 351 of the 366 SaaS sites scored (SaaS avg 56).

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 32. Hansshow scores 24. Vusion scores 34. SOLUM scores 38. Broadsign scores 31. The SaaS avg is 56.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 4 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 SaaS site scores 56; you scored 32.

    You are 24 points less same than the average SaaS site.

  2. Closest overlap: Broadsign

    Of the 4 sites you named, Broadsign echoes the most of what your page says. Scored the same way against the rest of the set, Broadsign sits at 31.

    Broadsign is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    26% of your claim space is ownable: unique, relevant, and hard to copy. 7 of those claims sit in body copy, where few readers reach them.

    26% is ownable, and 7 buried opportunities could help you stand out more.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Hansshow, Vusion, SOLUM and Broadsign: 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. Seamlessly integrate your data, set up rules-based automated workflows, design templates, and publish across every customer touchpoint — all within one…

    Vusion, SOLUM and Broadsign 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.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.
  2. Supporting 4 of the 5 largest pharmacy chains in Australia

    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. Powering retail execution for a leading global furniture retailer

    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 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

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
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%42The 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%34Every 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%48Expected 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%13Same 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%18Weighted 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 section copy says “Seamlessly integrate your data, set up rules-based automated workflows, design templates, and publish across…”.

    Vusion, SOLUM and Broadsign 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.

  2. 2
    Table stakesYour body copy says “Last Yard Publisher centralises content distribution for in-store and digital promotions”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: vusion, SOLUM and Broadsign say it too (75% of the set), and your body is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  5. 5

    No competitor page makes this claim. Today it is in body copy; it is a candidate for the space the table-stakes lines are taking.

  6. 6
    Surface“Trusted by Australia's largest supermarket group and the IGA network” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    The rest of the set has nothing on this ground. Buried in body copy it does no work; higher up it is the one line a comparing buyer cannot find elsewhere.
