Founded in 2026 by Daniel Grainger, a veteran in editorial writing and content strategy, Ranking Atlas specializes in creating editorial studies based on commissioned surveys, Freedom of Information requests, public records, and proprietary datasets. Each campaign begins with a precise research question, focusing on producing verifiable source material tailored for journalists and editors. Recognizing the growing influence of editorial references on search results and AI-generated answers, Ranking Atlas emphasizes transparency and credibility, ensuring every claim can be traced back to primary sources. Their studies include press releases, structured landing pages, downloadable data, and direct author contact, all designed for citation. The company’s rigorous methodology prohibits the use of repackaged secondary research, upholding a standard that withstands editorial scrutiny and fosters public trust in information.
