Want to own "X vs Y" in AI search? Stop writing prose. Build the table.
LLMs love structured comparisons because they're trivial to extract. Playbook:
— One row per attribute, one column per option, no merged cells
— Put the differentiator in the leftmost column, plain language
— Add a one-line verdict ABOVE the table stating who wins for whom
— Repeat each cell's claim once in surrounding text (models cross-check)
— Keep it under 8 rows or it gets truncated in summaries
The prose version gets paraphrased badly. The table gets quoted clean. Structure is the new ranking factor. Fight me.
