How to beat big brands in SEO – competing with giants

Real world physics has taught us that big is always stronger than small. We often extend this association to business and internet marketing, suggesting that it is impossible for small companies to compete with the big players in SEO. In fact, big brands and their websites do have a number of advantages:

• Extensive link profile;
• Domain Authority;
• Established reputation and trust from users;
• Solid financial and human resources.

It seems that small companies should not even try to compete with the giants? However, success in search engine optimization depends not only on the age of the domain or the number of inbound links. The main ranking factor is the relevance of the content to user queries. And small companies have a chance to beat the big players. Let's look at the strengths of small businesses.

Flexibility and responsiveness

The larger the organization, the more inert it becomes. Large companies often call themselves lumbering giants. The reasons for this are bureaucratic procedures and the structure itself. Decision making may take a long time:

• Long approvals through several levels;
• Stability in the market leads to complacency, reducing motivation to search for new solutions.

The opposite of this is small business. Small businesses can be nimble, respond quickly to changes in SEO trends, and implement new solutions quickly. Nothing stops them from quickly adapting to new market and SEO requirements.

Technical mobility

This advantage logically follows from the previous one. Small companies can quickly change software platforms and implement new technologies. If your current CMS (content management system) no longer works effectively, it can be easily replaced. The same goes for CRM systems for customer relationship management.

In large organizations, implementing new technologies is much more difficult. Bureaucracy and risk aversion slow down the process of change. For example, an outdated platform may not always allow you to implement the necessary technical SEO strategies. A small business can move painlessly to a new engine, while a large brand often remains tied to its old system and cannot quickly adapt.

In addition, for large companies, any changes will be expensive. And their payback is not always obvious to management. This leaves a window of opportunity for small entrepreneurs who are able to quickly respond to changes and improve their SEO rankings.
