How we ranked #1 on hyper-competitive searches like “women’s dress”

Giving away the sauce

Hey there,

We just dropped a new YouTube video on how to rank #1 in Google Search and Shopping.

It's the exact method we used to claim the top spots for hyper competitive searches like "women's dress," "creatine," "collagen."

And by the end of the video, you’ll know how to do the same for your brand.

I genuinely believe this is one of the best (if not the best) resources out there on this topic.

And just to show you that, here's a taste of what’s inside:

  • The 3 "grades" Google uses to calculate your ad position (and how to "game" them to win the #1 spot)

  • A subtle mistake most businesses make that eradicates your chance of ranking #1, regardless of how high you bid.

  • A sneaky way to spot where your competitors are "over-bidding" and snag their #1 spot at a lower cost

  • The exact phrases to put in your Search headlines for better ranking

  • What to say in the first 40 characters of your Shopping title so Google knows your product is a perfect match for top-ranking slots.

  • What metrics to track & the KPIs to aim for

  • The 3-second test we use to qualify a landing page (if your page fails this test, you won't stand a chance in the auction)

  • How to choose the perfect bid based on how your ads are performing

  • The optimal return window for ranking (yes, Google rewards brands who offer this exact timeframe)

  • And many MORE

To be honest, I was a bit hesitant to show how we do this behind the scenes.

Since, after all, I wasn't too sure I wanted our partners' competitors getting their hands on these tactics.

But in the end, we’ve always believed in sharing everything that’s working for us.

So here it is.
