OUTRANKED.ME

For business owners

Find out where your business stands.

Outranked.me is a public leaderboard where position is decided by verified advertising spend — openly, and by nobody’s judgement. Find your business, prove the domain is yours, and see the market you compete in.

Not listed yet? Add my business

How it works

  1. Find your business. Search by name or domain. If it is not here yet, you can add it yourself in under a minute.
  2. Prove you own the domain. Publish a TXT record in your DNS, or upload a small file to your web root. Both are standard, and both are checked automatically. There is no sales call and nobody reviews you.
  3. See your market. Who else is listed in your category and country, and what the positions above you actually cost.
  4. Compete, if you want to. Buying a position is optional. A verified listing costs nothing.

What decides position

One thing: verified spend. Rank is recomputed on every read from payments that actually cleared, so there is no rank field for anyone to edit — not for us, not for a support request, not for a well-connected customer.

What we will not do

  • Show a position for a business that has not paid for one.
  • Invent listings, spend, reviews, ratings or activity to look busier.
  • Let a sponsored placement look like an earned one.
  • Claim that paying us improves your Google ranking. It does not, and we will not pretend otherwise to close a sale.

The mechanics are written out in full on the transparency page, including how refunds affect position and what “verified” means.

What verifying gets you

  • Control of how your business appears — name, description, category, link.
  • A public page that search engines can index.
  • Your market: who is listed alongside you, and what the positions above cost.
  • A verified-owner marker, so nobody else can claim your domain.

A verified listing with no spend is shown as unranked. That is not a penalty — it is simply what is true until a payment clears.

Start with your domain

If your business is already listed you can claim it. If it is not, you can add it.
