If it's directed at or intended for the individual purchaser then it
must be "buyer's guide".

It cannot be "buyers guide".

One day, as Achilles was idly picking at his toenails
with the end of his spear, an old Greek philosopher
sidled up to him. "Wanna race?" said the ancient.

A buyer's guide would be a guide to tell one buyer about sellers or goods
being sold.

A buyers' guide would be a guide to tell many buyers about sellers or goods
being sold.

A buyers guide would be a guide for sellers to tell them about the buyers.

All quite clear, I hope?

For a personalised approach I'd prefer buyer's guide to buyers' guide.
