Then:
- What is the single biggest gap across all 3 pages?
- What specific section or angle would let my page earn the featured spot or beat these three?

- Lead with something specific the other MetaDescs do not (a number, a price, a named verdict, a specific claim)
- Are under 155 characters
- Do not start with "Looking for", "In this article", or any throat-clearing

After showing the 5 options, tell me which one you expect to win the highest CTR and why.
