+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0%, impacting visibility in local search results against competitors like Home Depot mentioned twice.
Do this: Identify 9 high-value directories like Yelp and Angie's List where flooring businesses are listed. Create and verify your business profile in each. Expect to spend about 4 hours and a small budget for potential listing fees.
2. Mention Home Depot in 5 local articles this month
+6 pts
Why: Home Depot is mentioned twice in queries, showing it's a key competitor and should be referenced in your content.

3. Get 5 reviews mentioning flooring this month
+10 pts
Why: Review presence is critical for local search, and getting mentions about your flooring services will help against competitors like Leominster Hardwood Floors.

4. Track 3 competitor mentions weekly
+7 pts
Why: Competitors are frequently mentioned, showing they have strong brand visibility; Floor Coverings International appears twice.

7. Review citation accuracy across all platforms
