The challenge
What needed to change
Machine shops and tool makers search Google Maps for somewhere to sell their carbide scrap. Carbide Kings needed to appear first wherever buyers searched, across Charlotte, across North Carolina and for nationwide “tungsten buyers in America” searches, from a single location.
The results
What the data shows
In September 2026, 41 Google Maps captures across 38 search terms showed Carbide Kings ranked #1 for 24 of them, and every one of the 35 logged positions in the Top 3. That includes #1 for every Charlotte recycling and reclamation term, #1 for “Tungsten Carbide Scrap Recycler in North Carolina” and #1 for national searches such as “Top Tungsten Buyers in America”. On October 20, 2026 a 7×7 grid scan (49 points, 1 mile apart) for “carbide scrap dealers Charlotte” found it #1 at all 49 points; the next competitor appeared at only 10. Still to win: the “We Buy” searches, where it holds #2 behind one competitor.
