I don't have control of the site once it went live. So upgrading content and internal links in not an optionIf your parasite page is stuck between positions 6 and 9,try improving the content with more relevant keywords and updated information.Building a few strong back links and adding internal links from the same problem may also help.optimizing the title and description to increase CTR can sometimes push the page into top 3.

It's prob a parasite on an external website. In this case, only off-page factors will work, together with some CTR manipulation (even if it's hard to find good tools lately), viralization (working quite well but expensive), etc.Why did you loose control? Have you been hacked?

Yeah Ive used some CTR manipulation, but nothing that takes me to the top 3. I agree the good CTR tools are kept secret and are expensive.It's prob a parasite on an external website.

I might stop assuming it needs more link volume. Check search intent, content depth, contextual relevance, the authority of the pages above it, and whether the parasite page itself has enough unique valueI have a parasite ranking on page 1, I've been shooting various links at it, but is seems to only bounce between position 6 - 9.
What else could I do to bring it to top 3?
Thanks
