I'm eager to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any suggestions you might have.
How frequently is the ownership database updated? Media ownership can change rapidly especially with acquisitions or rebrands.
Fantastic tool. Does the extension work across all Google search categories like News, Images and Videos or is it just for standard web results?
This is incredibly useful but what’s your criteria for labeling a domain as owned by a media conglomerate?
It’s such a smart approach many people don’t realize just how much media consolidation impacts rankings. Do you also share any practical tips on how to compete with these big players once they’re identified?
I've worked with James on our SEO tool answersocrates.com and when he told me about the Media Monopoly tracker, I knew it would be a viral hit.
Frankly, Google's results are less meritocratic than ever, and James' tool points out just how many of the top results are owned by the top media companies and actually users get less diversity in results and opinion than ever. So I'm a big fan of this.
Best of luck James!
This is genuinely useful. I had no idea how much of my search results were owned by the same few companies. As someone who works in SEO, this gives really helpful context on why certain sites rank and what I’m up against. Nice work.
