Review depth builds in one city while nearby cities show no visible depth.
In many multi-city operations, reviews accumulate steadily in the city where the business is based. That location develops visible depth over time.
Across nearby cities listed as served, that depth often disappears. The service area expands on paper, but the visible record of work does not.
What we’re seeing
Reviews concentrated in one primary city
Surrounding service cities listed with no reviews referencing them
Multi-city operators whose review footprint exists in only one geography
The concentration remains in one city.
Why this matters
When visible proof exists in only one city, call activity tends to cluster there as well, regardless of how broadly the business operates.
What to watch for
Strong review depth tied to a single city
Neighboring service areas with no visible review presence
The imbalance appears across adjacent cities.
