After the November-December madness, my rankings seem to get back to normal (more or less) except for one thing. My main competitor who is approx 200 feet away from me, and whom I did outrank for a long time, now is outranking me. Because of him, I am almost always in the 4th position at any given map point. In the meantime, he has twice as few reviews, 10 times fewer photos, and no new reviews for the past 6 months. Here is what I did to outrank him with 0 effect:
- posted updates every day for a week
- gained at least one review a week for two months
- added products with service pages
- added offers
Again, zero effect.
The only thing that I can think of is that this competitor has worked at his place longer than me for a year or so. Does it affect rankings that much?
