Why your competitors rank above you on Google
Relevance, authority and experience: the three most common reasons and how to find out which applies to you.

Relevance
Your competitor's page may simply answer what the person searched for better: the right term in the title, a more complete explanation or a more useful format.
Authority
Mentions and links from other sites work like recommendations. Whoever has more relevant recommendations tends to rank higher.
Experience
Speed, the mobile version and how clear the page is also count. A slow website loses rankings and visitors.
