How to use 'Entity Co-occurrence' to steal competitor rankings?
Entity Co-occurrence is the strategy of ensuring your brand name is mentioned alongside your competitors and high-authority industry terms in digital documents. This signals to AI that your business belongs in the same 'Authority Cluster' as the market leaders.
If you want to be treated like a market leader, you must associate with them.
1. Comparison Optimization
Create 'Best of' or 'Versus' content that fairly compares your business to established leaders. This ensures that when someone searches for your competitor, your brand is co-mentioned by AI models.
2. Regional Association
Get mentioned in the same articles as major local landmarks or famous businesses. In Los Angeles, being mentioned alongside the 'Staples Center' or 'Rodeo Drive' builds massive GEO-authority via association.
3. The 'Top 10' Loop
Ensure your business appears in as many third-party 'Top 10' lists as possible. The more you are grouped with other leaders, the more AI models treat you as an equal entity.
