Evidence-based marketplace comparisons under /compare
This directory stays `noindex,follow`. It exists so TailExchange can publish a narrow first wave of comparison pages without turning the namespace into a boilerplate competitor slug factory.
Namespace
/compare
Small, explicit comparison family with no nav or homepage exposure.
Review cadence
30-day manual
Comparison pages age after 45 days and go stale after 90 days if evidence is not refreshed.
Sitemap rule
Approved only
Only launch-approved, fresh comparisons belong in the dedicated compare sitemap.
First wave
Public comparisons with dated proof
Each page names where TailExchange is stronger, where the incumbent or alternative is still stronger, and what evidence was checked.
