  • The "Google Analytics alternative" positioning — Plausible-specific competitor
  • The purple #5850ec exact hue
  • The plausible.io dashboard mockup data
  • The "People ❤️ Plausible" emoji-in-H2 pattern unless the brand voice supports it
  • The aggressive competitor-comparison taxonomy unless the brand has the SEO appetite
