30 out of 60. Here's where the other 30 are
Six categories, ten points each. I score every business the same way, so when we re-score at day 90 the two numbers mean the same thing.
What's already working
Don't let anyone "fix" these. They're the reason this is worth doing.
A 5.0 on Google from 27 reviews
Google's review topics pull out ceramic coating, seatbelt repair, touch-up paint and dog hair removal by name. That's a customer telling the next customer what you're good at.

Your last 14 reels have a median of 822 views. You have 656 followers. Your typical reel already gets more views than you have followers.
Instagram view counts, October 2, 2026People talk back to you
Viking Vent Friday on September 11 drew 28 comments on Instagram, and Instagram shows 22 more came in on Facebook. That's an audience that talks back.

Google has your 5.0 and no link to your website
Your listing shows "Add website" under missing information. Someone who finds you on Maps can call, but can't tap through to your website, its services or its gallery.
Fix: add the site to the listing. Five minutes. Do this one first.
Google Maps listing, October 2, 2026Your website shows sample reviews while Google holds real ones
The homepage still displays notes the site builder left for you: "Sample review placeholders" and "Illustrative preview imagery. Replace with real Viking Detailing transformations as the gallery grows." Two quotes underneath are signed "Sample client." Packages, in the top menu of every page, opens a "404 Page Not Found" page.
Fix: pull the notes and sample quotes, show your Google reviews, and either build the Packages page or take the link down.
thevikingdetailing.com, homepage and /packages, October 2, 2026Your best credentials aren't on your website
Revivify, Avant-Guard Formula 1051, the mobile van, the fleet work and the Peel Clear Wrap you explain on Instagram don't appear on any of the ten pages of your site. I checked all ten. Revivify's Pennsylvania directory lists 26 installers. You're the only one in Northampton County, it lists none in Monroe County, and the nearest other one is in Allentown.
Fix: one section per credential on the site and one service per credential on Google, written so a customer understands it in one read.
thevikingdetailing.com, the nine pages in its sitemap plus /packages; teamrevivifyusa.com Pennsylvania directory, October 2, 2026Last October, the account went quiet
Between September 27 and November 11, 2025, Instagram got nothing. That's a 45-day gap, in the weeks before salt season. Winter stayed thin, with 4 posts in January and 4 in March. May had 23.
Fix: the filming day banks a month of posts, so the busy weeks and the slow ones both get covered. This October is the test.
Instagram post dates, October 2025 to September 2026Same stars as the shops around you, a fraction of the reviews
Dynasty sits at 4.9 from 319 reviews. Ceramic Pro Northampton, 4.9 from 166. Attention To Detail, 4.9 from 151. Cougle's, 5.0 from 112. You're at 5.0 from 27. Your rating already matches theirs. The count is where they're ahead.
Fix: a review ask after every job, by text and a counter card, so asking takes no thought.
Google Maps listings, October 2, 2026@the_viking_detailing, graded
Instagram, October 2, 2026. Your own account, @ottdyvek, has 1,200 followers, and the business bio links to it.
Bio
It reads, line by line, with the street address left out here:
"@ottdyvek
-Interior/ Exterior
-Installer of @avantguardcoatings 1051
Thevikingdetailing.com
[street address], Bangor
phone 4848677638"
- The website is plain text, so nobody can tap it. There is no website link on the profile.
- No category label shows under your name.
- Nothing says paint correction, ceramic, Revivify, mobile, or the towns you cover beyond Bangor.
- The first line goes to your personal handle before it says what the business does.
Suggested bio, for you to edit
Paint correction · ceramic · Revivify certified Avant-Guard 1051 installer Shop + mobile van · Bangor, PA Owner @ottdyvek · 484-867-7638
- Website goes in the link field, not the bio text.
- Name field: "Viking Detailing · Bangor PA". Instagram says a profile name related to your work helps you show up in search.
- Turn the category label on in profile settings.
Grid and pins
The two pinned spots hold a photo of coating bottles and a Viking line-art reel from December 11, 2025. Most of your recent covers are you talking in front of the flags, or a car on gravel. The Thor's-hammer and Viking flags behind you make the account recognizable at a glance. Keep them.
Pin results instead: the Nazareth fleet reel, the neglected-interior reel, and the Peel Clear Wrap explainer.
Highlights
There are none, so a new visitor has nothing to tap after the bio. Six to start:
- Revivify
- Avant-Guard 1051
- Interiors
- Fleet
- Reviews
- Book
Covers and hooks
Four of your last 24 reel covers have words on them: "COATING 101," "COATING YOUR VEHICLE PT 2," "When you know you need to get your car cleaned," and one partial banner. The other 20 carry no words. In a grid, a cover with no words tells a stranger little about the video. Attention To Detail in Stroudsburg puts a short title bar on its covers, for example "LETTERING INSTALL" and "ARCANE COATING," and its reels draw more than three times your median. The fix is a title bar that names the job, and an opening second that shows the paint before it shows you.

The honest read
You film yourself a lot, flags behind you. It works because it's you, and the comment counts show people talk back. But someone who doesn't know you may scroll past, because the first second doesn't tell them you just made a car look new. Lead with the paint, the water, the dirt and the reveal. Then talk. And keep posting through October and November, the run-up to salt season.
Bigger following, smaller views
Facebook page, October 2, 2026. The ten newest reels showed 170, 718, 156, 999, 631, 232, 1.3K, 868, 238 and 248 views.
Working
- The page links to your website.
- Reels cross-post, and comments come in on both sides.
- Eleven recommendations, all positive.
To fix
- The featured post says "Contact within or give me a call to schedule your appointment!!" Swap it for your best before-and-after with a booking line.
- The page lists a street address that differs from the one on Revivify's directory. More on that in section 07.
- Ask every customer for a Google review, not only the ones who recommended you here.

Name, address, phone: one version everywhere
Search engines and map apps cross-check your listings. Yours agree on the name and phone. They don't agree on the street address.
| Where | Name | Street address | Phone | Links to your site |

Checked October 2, 2026. I've left the actual addresses off this page on purpose. You'll pick which one, if either, the public should see.
Also worth knowing
- Your Revivify listing shows no website link and no star rating. 15 of the 26 Pennsylvania listings show a star rating.
- You're not on the Bangor auto-detailing lists on Yellow Pages or Superpages, each 30 businesses long.
- You're not on the Slate Belt Chamber's automotive page.
The free five
Once you settle the address, we claim or confirm these with the same name, address and phone:
- Bing Places
- Apple Business Connect, which runs your Apple Maps listing
- Yelp
- Better Business Bureau, where a basic listing is free
- Nextdoor
Nine shops in your area, side by side

| Attention To Detail Auto Spa | Stroudsburg | 4.9 · 151 | 405 | 2,751 | Tiers named, no maker named | Yes, ceramic $1,200 to $2,499 |

| Horizon Shine Detailing | Nazareth | 5.0 · 57 | 213 | 232 | No maker named; film and tint | No |

| Xtreme Detailing Solutions | Bangor | Two listings, no reviews | None linked | Not measured | None listed | No |
Google Maps listings and Instagram profiles read October 2, 2026. Coatings and prices from each shop's own website, or for SMR, Ceramic Pro's dealer page. "None linked" means the shop's site links no Instagram account.
Of the shops I measured, you post the most
Your last 14 reels went up in 32 days, August 27 to September 28. Simon's last 14 took 45 days. Attention To Detail's took four months, and Dynasty's took six. Horizon Shine hasn't posted a reel since January 23, and JMC since April 2025.
One shop gets more out of each reel
Attention To Detail's median is 2,751 views, more than three times yours, and it posts about a quarter as often. Its two biggest recent reels are window-tint jobs, one at 14.3K views on August 25 and one filmed through smart glasses from the installer's point of view at 11.2K on July 22. Its covers carry a title bar. The lesson isn't to post less. It's packaging each post so a stranger gets it in a second.
No one else here advertises Revivify
None of the nine shops in this table advertises Revivify on its website, and Revivify's own directory shows no other installer in Northampton or Monroe County. Right now your website doesn't mention it, and Revivify's directory doesn't link to your site.
On Maps, you're already in the conversation
On October 2, a Google Maps search from my browser for "auto detailing near Bangor PA 18013" listed you third. The two above you were a car wash and a listing with no reviews. Results shift with where the searcher stands, so treat this as one snapshot. Still, it says Google already connects you to Bangor.
