Carpet One Floor & Home Named One of the SOCi 100 Most Visible Local Enterprise Brands of 2026
Feb 18th 2026
Carpet One Floor & Home, a division of CCA Global Partners Retail Group, today announced it has been named to the SOCi 100 Most Visible Local Enterprise Brands of 2026, recognizing its leadership in local visibility across search, social media, online reputation, and AI-powered discovery.
Selected from nearly 2,700 multi-location enterprise brands, the SOCi 100 recognizes companies that are winning visibility where consumer decisions increasingly happen, moving beyond local search presence to earn recommendation, trust, and selection across today’s top discovery channels and emerging AI platforms.
“We’re excited to be named to the SOCi 100 Most Visible Local Enterprise Brands of 2026,” said Frank Chiera, Senior Vice President of Marketing at CCA Global Partners Retail Group. “What makes this meaningful is that it reflects what happens in the local communities we serve every day. We’re much more than just another retail store; our members are neighbors and families who make a big difference in their towns and cities. It’s why great local content comes from real people telling real stories, and that’s precisely what fuels our strategies. We know that as AI shapes how more consumers discover businesses, staying authentic and locally connected isn’t just important; it’s crucial to create space between us and the competition. I’m proud of our team and our members for leaning into that future while staying true to who we are.”
The SOCi 100 is derived from the SOCi’s 2026 Local Visibility Index (LVI), which analyzed more than 350,000 locations across 2,751 brands. For the first time, the 2026 LVI includes AI visibility as a core benchmark, reflecting how AI-powered assistants are reshaping local discovery by narrowing consumer choice to a single recommended answer.
SOCi’s research shows that brands with strong local signals, including accurate business information, positive customer sentiment, and consistent local engagement, are more likely to be surfaced and recommended by AI-driven platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity.
“Visibility today isn’t about ranking — it’s about being selected,” said Monica Ho, Chief Marketing Officer at SOCi. “The brands recognized in the SOCi 100 are setting the standard for trust, consistency, and performance across both traditional local channels and the next generation of AI-powered discovery.”
