Quick Answer · Taking Rankings

How do you take a competitor's rankings?

Map exactly what's holding each competitor in position, find where they're soft, then out-execute them on those specific weaknesses across all three search surfaces. You don't "beat" a competitor in the abstract — you exploit the precise gaps in their profile, reviews, citations, content, or AI presence, in the order that moves position fastest.

The Longer Answer

It starts with a map, not tactics.

Before any work, we decompose each incumbent into its actual sources of strength and weakness — primary category, review velocity, citation consistency, content depth, AI-search presence. That authority map turns "outrank them" into a specific, evidence-based plan of attack.

Then the operation exploits the cheapest weaknesses first for early movement and builds the harder advantages in parallel. Finding the weaknesses →

The Sequence

Cheapest openings first.

If the incumbent has a misconfigured category or stalled reviews, those are fast wins that move position quickly. Deeper advantages — content, links, AI corroboration — build alongside. The sequence is dictated by the terrain, not a generic checklist. The factors that move position →

The Honest Part

No guarantees, just execution.

We won't promise we'll take a specific ranking by a specific date — that depends on the algorithm and the competitor's response, both outside our control. What we commit to is sustained, disciplined execution against their weaknesses, and a 20-year record of doing exactly this. Why no guarantees →
