Compare metrics
It's not about being clever—it's about showing proof through comparison
It works because it hits three triggers: proof, clarity, and superiority. The comparison shows proof. The number creates clarity. The outperformance shows superiority. People see "This outperformed [competitor] by 300%" and think: "That's significantly better. I want that." They click because numbers feel objective. It's not about being clever—it's about showing proof through comparison.

Data & Statistic Hooks work because numbers feel objective. When you show comparison stats, you show proof. Not because they're smart—because they're human and trust numbers. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to show data. The "comparison stats" hook does exactly that—it promises proof through numbers.
