I've run a site devoted to a media property for many years. Our wiki in particular is a major source of traffic, and at one point was probably the most visited destination on the internet for our property. Then, Wikia.com (now Fandom.com) started pushing resources into developing their competing wiki, and in time they relegated us to #2 for a lot of organic search traffic.

We are now finding ourselves in a similar position related to the fact that we are #1 for a lot of searches related to a new iteration of said property, but we can see that Fandom will make the push to take over those spots.

So, my question is... what we can we do? We've done many things to try and optimize according to various SEO audits, but there are limits -- we're on MediaWiki, a platform that is not particularly SEO-friendly, and we don't want to massage content in weird ways to try and eke out a little more link juice.

Does anyone else have experience with having a site in the same niche as a Wikia/Fandom wiki? Did you just live with it, or can it be combatted?

Thanks!
