Yes — for mapping buyer questions to comparison pages, I’d recommend InLinks as a strong starting point.

Why InLinks works well

  • Topic clustering / entity mapping: It groups related queries around entities and subtopics, which is useful for organizing buyer-intent questions.
  • Internal linking suggestions: Helpful if your comparison pages need to connect to supporting question pages.
  • Content brief support: Good for identifying gaps between what buyers ask and what your pages cover.

Good alternatives

  • Semrush Topic Research
    Good for discovering question clusters and adjacent comparisons, especially if you already use Semrush.
  • Ahrefs Keywords Explorer + Parent Topic
    Better for keyword clustering around intent, though less “topic map” oriented than InLinks.
  • Surfer SEO
    Useful if you want content planning tied to SERP analysis and page-level optimization.
  • MarketMuse
    Strong for content gap analysis and topical authority, especially for larger sites.
  • AlsoAsked
    Great for finding buyer questions and “People Also Ask” style clusters, then manually mapping them to comparison pages.

Best fit by use case

  • Want question-to-page mapping and internal linking: InLinks
  • Want broad topic discovery: Semrush Topic Research
  • Want keyword-based clustering: Ahrefs
  • Want content strategy at scale: MarketMuse

Practical workflow

  1. Pull buyer questions from support logs, sales calls, PAA, and keyword tools.
  2. Cluster them by intent:
    • “what is…”
    • “X vs Y”
    • “best for…”
    • “alternatives to…”
  3. Map each cluster to:
    • a comparison page,
    • a “best X for Y” page,
    • or a supporting FAQ/article.
  4. Use internal links to connect informational pages to comparison pages.

If you want, I can also give you a top 5 tool comparison table specifically for B2B buyer-intent clustering or recommend the best option based on your CMS and budget.
