Are these top-performing sites massive businesses? If so, what would it take to rank for something like this?
Is the existing content in the search results good quality?
Are there ways that I can improve this content type? (ie. adding photos, videos, optimizing keywords, making the posts longer and more valuable to the reader, etc)
