Why Your Competitor Ranks Higher (And What You Can Do About It)
Let’s be honest:
Seeing your competitor show up above you on Google sucks.
Especially when you KNOW your product or service is better.
But guess what?
Google doesn’t rank based on feelings, it ranks based on your content, reviews, and consistency.
Here’s exactly why your competitor ranks higher, and what you can start doing right now to change that.
1. Their Google Business Profile is fully optimized
✅ Real business name, hours, services, photos, and updates? Checked.
✅ 30+ (or hundreds) of real reviews? Checked.
If your profile is empty or half-baked, Google doesn’t take you seriously.
2. Their website is built for SEO
Their site likely has:
- Keyword-rich titles and headings
- Clear structure with internal linking
- Proper meta descriptions
- Optimized page speed & mobile performance
Meanwhile, if your site is full of fluff, slow, or vague in content… that’s why they’re on top.
3. They consistently get reviews
Google likes businesses more with a consistent and recent reviews.
If your last review was from 2022, Google would rank a competitor higher who has 5 new reviews this month.
✅ Ask happy customers to leave reviews.
✅ Make it ridiculously easy.
✅ And respond to them. Yes, even the bad ones.
4. They’re creating fresh, helpful content
Google doesn’t want a "dead" website, it wants a helpful, active one.
Your competitor might be:
- Updated SEO, keyword-focused content regularly
- Updating their website with new content
- Creating service pages for every offering
If your website hasn’t been updated in months, Google will bury you.
