The Grading System

Scores are bucketed into actionable grades:

  • 9-10 (A): Highly mature. Hard to disrupt.
  • 7-8 (B): Solid presence, minor gaps.
  • 5-6 (C): Average. Vulnerable to better local SEO.
  • 3-4 (D): Weak. Missing core lead-gen tools.
  • 0-2 (F): Critical. Offline or entirely broken web presence. Highest Opportunity.

Data Sources & AI Pipeline
