Josh Roman 46/100

Founder & CEO, American AF Dumpsters · Founder, The Dumpster Expo · Waxahachie, TX
  • COVID killed his Dallas limo company — so he bought one $4,000 trailer, listed it on Craigslist, and built one of DFW’s largest roll-off operations: 1,000+ customers served.
  • Founded The Dumpster Expo, the industry’s first and only trade show — from a flatbed trailer in 2023 to Texas Motor Speedway, Sept 25–26, 2026.
  • Runs Dumpster Rentals 101, the 12,000-member operator community, and a 25K-subscriber teaching YouTube channel with 722 videos.
  • Suing the City of Waxahachie’s dumpster monopoly with the Institute for Justice — the industry’s David-vs-Goliath story, in national press.
And Google still can’t see it: 2 ranking keywords, ~26 organic visits a month, no Knowledge Panel — a 46/100 on the same honest ruler we use on everyone below. Earned, not yet legible. We’re fixing that in public.

The biggest names in dumpsters, scored.

Tap any face for the breakdown. The man who built the industry’s only trade show and its biggest community scores a 46 — while junk-removal franchise royalty with Wikipedia pages sit 28 points higher. Not one dumpster-rental owner owns a Knowledge Panel. That gap is the whole opportunity.

Not a vanity metric

Five signals, one score.

Authority is whether Google, ChatGPT, and a contractor can find you, trust you, and ask for you by name. Five weighted signals decide it.

25%

Knowledge Panel

Does Google show a panel for your name — not just your company?

20%

Own your name

Do you rank for your own name, or do namesakes, directories, and old listings win?

20%

AI-engine visibility

Do ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity know who you are — and cite you?

20%

Content & proof

A real body of work tied to you, plus reviews and press that prove authority.

15%

Entity & schema

A canonical “home” with structured data so engines resolve you to one person.

How it works

From invisible to citable.

1

We measure what’s public

We scan your name across the open web, social, and Google’s entity signals, then score five pillars.

2

We rank you against your market

You see exactly where you stand versus the other names in your trade.

3

We hand you the playbook

Your gaps, the exact next steps to climb — and a personal brand site if you want it built for you.

What dialed-in looks like

One filming session becomes your whole brand.

Give us about five minutes on camera. We turn it into the articles, the personal brand website, and the entity signals Google and AI need to take you seriously — the same playbook behind every Knowledge Panel we earn.
