Scoring components

Scored on 85% of total signal weight. Unmeasured components are omitted and the weights renormalised — never counted as zero. Zero referring domains is the strongest “beatable” signal there is, so rendering a missing measurement as 0 would turn every unknown domain into a jackpot.

Authority wall

weight 0.40

0.141

CTR-weighted link strength of the defenders. Platform domains contribute a fixed low constant (0.12) rather than their real profile — a Yelp page is not defending this query.

Slot defence

weight 0.30

0.172

What KIND of result holds each slot. The component no commercial difficulty metric models, and the one that decides a local build.

Intent lock

weight 0.15

0.100

Has anyone built a city+niche-dedicated asset here, and how highly does it rank?

Link quality

weight 0.15

not measured

Dofollow ratio and spam score of the top-5 non-platform defenders, scaled by how much link mass they actually have.

ⓘ No dofollow ratio or spam score measured for any top-5 non-platform result.

The 30-day gates

All must pass. Note the deliberate asymmetry: elsewhere an unmeasured signal is dropped leniently, but here missing evidence fails the gate. This is the only band that says “go buy this domain”, so it has to be earned by evidence rather than granted by the absence of contrary evidence.

Why platforms show n/a: Yelp has roughly 4 million referring domains. Fed through the same curve as a local plumber it scores ~1.0 and single-handedly walls off the page — so every directory-stuffed SERP, which is to say every genuinely winnable market, would read as unwinnable. A directory page ranks on generic domain power applied to a template; nobody there is defending this query. It contributes a fixed 0.12 instead. Rows showing — were not measured and were omitted from the score, not counted as zero.
