Dynamic Top 10 Competitors

The Dynamic Top 10 Competitors widget in the dashboard shows which domains appear most prominently in the top search results for your tracked keywords.

AccuRanker combines the top competitors across all your keywords into a single list. If you apply filters, the list is calculated using only the keywords that match those filters.

How Are the Dynamic Top Competitors Calculated?

AccuRanker uses a weighting system based on each competitor's rankings across your keywords.

Higher rankings receive more points:

• Rank 1: 10 points
• Rank 2: 9 points
• Rank 3: 8 points
• Rank 4: 7 points
• Rank 5: 6 points
• Rank 6: 5 points
• Rank 7: 4 points
• Rank 8: 3 points
• Rank 9: 2 points
• Rank 10: 1 point.

The resulting weight gives you an indication of which domains have the greatest visibility in the top-ranking positions for your keyword set.

Why Do Large Platforms Appear as Competitors?

You may see domains such as Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, or other large platforms among your dynamic top competitors.

These domains are not necessarily direct business competitors. They appear because pages from these platforms rank organically for the same keywords you track and therefore compete for visibility in the search results.

For example, the ranking result could be a competitor's social media page, video, channel, marketplace listing, or another third-party profile.

The Dynamic Top 10 Competitors section thus reflects your actual competitors in the organic search results, rather than only the companies you consider direct business competitors.
