Why this market matters

Somerset itself is small — about 22,000 people — but it sits inside one of the most densely populated and competitive corridors in the country, with roughly 6 other sharpeners nearby. 46 reviews in that environment is a disproportionately strong result for the population size.

Market size: ~22,100 people

Somerset Sharpener didn't take the Accelerator — it was built on the same fundamentals Michael teaches directly: a real site, a Google Business Profile built properly from zero, and the local ranking work that follows. The Accelerator is that same system, kept current and packaged into one course.
