Tips & Best Practices
- Use time periods (quarters, years) on the X-Axis and competitors or categories on the Y-Axis for clear ranking stories
- Keep the number of ranked items under 10 to maintain readability
- Enable markers for presentations -- they make rank positions easier to read at a glance
