if a brand dominates 80% of the top ten for its own name, is it possible to get a site above it?
 
Never tried but doubt it.

Unless you're a big namer yourself
 
You could in theory but it would be costly. What I do is sign up to their newsletter or list as a customer and get regular updates on products and new releases. I use that to target, let them do all the research
 
You can.

However it'll take a lot of time AND money if it is a really big company.

God luck with that.
 
You need to check anchor profile for that brand or is it a really big brand ? For normal brand you can rank easily.
 
It would be quite difficult. Once I tried to do a lot by throwing up so many quality links but it never surpassed it. Settled in page 1 but could not overtake it
 
I have seen some sites getting the top rank crossing the brand site but don't know how. So, I believe it is possible.
 
impossible probably not but ..... but a lot do money and work and even than the chance is probably low
 
How about if there is a big authority site at #8. Could it be pushed up?
 
There are a lot of variables but it feels unlikely. My understanding is that Google tends to rank brands more favourably. What is a user looking for when they are searching for the brand?

The brand.

Maybe if you were doing a review (opinion or user generated) site, that may rank on the first page for that term as users would be interested in that.

But a respectable brand will have all their social profiles, maybe some news, etc. Ranking above these high authority sites sounds like a challenge for white/grey hatting.
 
Oh well. I'll forget about that idea then.
 
It's not impossible. But can't say for ranking a website.
But it will be easier to go with a youtube video. I have beaten few official websites for their product keywords/name with a youtube video.
