Morphology
The meaning 'to improve one's position in a ranking' is directly and compositionally derived from 'boost' (to raise/increase) + 'ranking' (position in a ranked list); the article 'the' does not affect meaning. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common combination, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Boost the ranking comes from the simple idea of boost meaning 'to push up' and ranking meaning 'position in a list'. Picture someone pushing a box or helping a person up to a higher shelf, so to boost the ranking means to push your place higher on a list.
