      "heading": "The Three Revenue Leaks That Cost Multi-Location Owners the Most",
      "purpose": "Frame the loss across three vectors: missed calls at unstaffed locations, leads that go cold in the first 5 minutes, and admin hours duplicated across locations. Give conservative estimates with stated assumptions for each vector.",
      "expected_word_count": 300
    },
    {
      "heading": "Leak 1: Missed Calls at Location B While You're at Location A",
      "purpose": "Detailed breakdown of missed-call revenue loss for a 2-3 location operator. Use plumbing and HVAC job value ranges ($400-$2,000 per job). Show the math: 8 missed calls per month at Location B × $700 average job = $5,600 per month. State every assumption explicitly.",
      "expected_word_count": 300
    },
    {
      "heading": "Leak 2: Leads That Go Cold in the First 5 Minutes",
      "purpose": "Explain the speed-to-lead problem for multi-location operators who cannot monitor every channel simultaneously. Reference the established industry principle that lead conversion drops sharply after the first few minutes. Focus on the mechanism, not invented statistics.",
      "expected_word_count": 250
    },
    {
      "heading": "Leak 3: Admin Hours You're Paying for at Every Location",
      "purpose": "Quantify the duplicated overhead: manual follow-up, review requests, appointment reminders, invoice chasing — done separately at each location. Estimate hours per week per location multiplied by owner or staff hourly cost. Use conservative math only.",
      "expected_word_count": 250
    },
    {
      "heading": "What Centralizing Actually Recovers — The Math",
      "purpose": "Flip from cost to recovery. Show how a centralized system recaptures missed calls, speeds lead response, and eliminates duplicated admin. Use the same per-location math but show it working. Tie directly to the $5,000 guarantee and its 60-day window.",
      "expected_word_count": 250
    },
    {
      "heading": "The Investment vs. the Return",
      "purpose": "Explicit pricing for the multi-location setup versus the monthly revenue recovered. Honest payback period math. Use conservative recovery rates and state the assumptions. Do not overpromise.",
      "expected_word_count": 200
    },
    {
      "heading": "Book a Call — We'll Run the Numbers for Your Specific Locations",
      "purpose": "CTA with a concrete hook: offer to run the location-specific revenue math on a setup call. Reduces abstraction and makes the ROI conversation personal before money changes hands.",
      "expected_word_count": 150
    }
  ],
  "wordCountTarget": 1750,
  "eeatRequirements": "All revenue estimates must state assumptions explicitly — average job value by trade, estimated missed call rate, and admin time estimates. Cite real industry sources for job value benchmarks (HomeAdvisor/Angi cost data, IBISWorld trade reports). No invented client results. Author byline with marketing automation or home service industry experience. Include publication date and planned review interval.",
