List & Tables Suggestions

What is the List & Table Suggestions tool?

The List & Table Suggestions tool finds sections of a page that would be easier to understand as a list, table, or structured comparison. Dense paragraphs that pack several facts together are harder to scan and harder for AI search systems to pull into an answer; restructuring them makes the information clearer.


Why is this useful?

AI search often lifts concise, well-structured passages into its answers. A long paragraph comparing options buries the detail; the same information as a table or list is easier for a reader to scan and easier for a system to extract. This tool identifies the passages where that reformatting would help most.
Example: turn a long paragraph comparing plan features into a table with columns for price, limits, integrations, and best-fit customer.


How does the List & Table Suggestions tool work?

The tool analyses your page content and identifies dense or list-like passages that would read more clearly as a structured list, table, or comparison, so you can reformat them for clarity and extractability.


How to run a check

  • From your dashboard, click the 'select your website' dropdown at the top of the page and choose your site. Select Labs from the left-hand menu:



  • Scroll down to find List & Table Suggestions.
  • Enter the URL of the page you want to check.



  • Click Analyze Content. The tool then reviews your content and highlights passages that would work better as a list or table.
  • Reformat the flagged passages into the suggested structure where it improves clarity.


Tips for getting the most out of it:


  • Reformat where it aids the reader, not everywhere. Not every paragraph should be a table - use the suggestions where structure genuinely makes the information easier to follow.
  • Comparisons are the strongest candidates. Anything weighing options against several attributes usually reads better as a table.
  • Keep tables scannable. A few clear columns beat a wide table with many sparse ones.
