Problem

The /compare/better-uptime page ranks at position 13.5 for "better uptime" query but needs improvement to reach page 1.

Changes

1. FAQ Schema (All Compare Pages)

Added JSON-LD FAQ schema markup to product-compare.ejs. This enables Google rich snippets for ALL compare pages, potentially improving CTR across:

  • /compare/pagerduty
  • /compare/statuspage.io
  • /compare/pingdom
  • /compare/better-uptime
  • /compare/datadog
  • etc.

2. Enhanced Better Uptime Content

Expanded FAQs from 4 to 8 questions covering:

  • Better Uptime → Better Stack rebrand context
  • Self-hosting advantages (major differentiator)
  • Detailed pricing comparison
  • Feature-by-feature differences
  • Startup use case guidance

Expected Impact

  • Rich snippets: FAQ schema enables expanded SERP presence
  • Better relevance: More comprehensive content for "better uptime" queries
  • Position improvement: Target move from position 13.5 → top 10

Technical Notes

  • FAQ schema properly escapes quotes in JSON-LD
  • Schema applies to all compare pages automatically
  • No breaking changes to existing functionality
