I'm in the exact same boat as arieng, and it really has been a battle from the beginning.

I wish there were a way to speak to google about cases like ours, where we are the actual end source. The definitive word in the given market.

Heck, I'm sitting smack in the middle of a manufacturing facility at this very moment, that supplies 1/3 the nation of it's product for this particular market. Yet, I'm getting hammered in the serps by people with drop shipping programs while living in their moms basement.

If rankings are based on links, then how does a know-all source win the serps without buying links?

Granted, I can only imagine the flood of calls and scams people will try to pull to replicate a source such as ours, for their given market. So, such ideas are a waste of time.
