The Hub is a permanent `HomeAndConstructionBusiness` entity anchored to the organization. Each location-specific page adds Spokes — a `Service` entity, an `ItemList` for navigation, and a `FAQPage` — all within a `@graph`. ### Schema Types in Use | Schema Type | Pages Where Used | |---|---| | `HomeAndConstructionBusiness` | All pages — canonical organization Hub | | `Service` | Local case study pages (city-specific Spoke) | | `FAQPage` | Local case study pages, technical guide | | `ItemList` | Local case study pages (site navigation) | | `Review` | Local case study pages (verified third-party reviews only) | | `TechArticle` | Technical guide page | | `HowTo` | Technical guide page (multiple instances) | | `DefinedTerm` | Technical guide page (terminology glossary) | ### Canonical Organization Entity (The Hub) Anchored at `https://motorcityfloorsandcoatings.com/#organization` and present on all pages. Fixed values that never change across any page: - **Type**: `HomeAndConstructionBusiness` - **Name**: MotorCity Floors and Coatings - **Address**: 46101 Grand River Ave, Novi, MI 48374 - **Phone**: +1-248-613-5888 - **Email**: info@motorcityfloorsandcoatings.com - **Coordinates**: 42.486743, -83.503433 (headquarters) - **Hours**: Monday–Friday 09:00–17:00; closed Saturday–Sunday - **Price range**: $$ - **Founded**: 2018 by Jonathan Roth - **Verified profiles**: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, BBB, Google Maps CID 17401919816118261936 - **Note**: `sameAs` does not include YouTube or Wikidata — Wikidata links appear only in `areaServed` city entities ### Local Case Study Pages — @graph Structure Each city page carries a `@graph` with four entities in this order: **1. `HomeAndConstructionBusiness`** — the Hub entity with city-scoped `areaServed`. Lists the primary city first, followed by 3–5 surrounding cities. Each city entry includes both `sameAs` and `@id` pointing to its verified Wikidata Q-number. Optionally includes a county-level `AdministrativeArea`. Includes verified third-party `review` entries (author, datePublished, reviewBody, reviewRating only) — or omits the `review` property entirely if no verified reviews are available. **2. `Service`** — city-specific Spoke. Includes `serviceType`, `name`, `description` (150–250 characters synthesized from case study content), `priceCurrency: "USD"`, `areaServed` (primary city only with Wikidata link), `url`, and `image`. Does **not** include a `provider` property — the provider relationship is established by the `@graph` structure. **3. `ItemList`** — site navigation element. Contains 3–4 `ListItem` entries linking to key site pages. Navigation URLs are page-specific, not hardcoded. **4. `FAQPage`** — 2–4 Q&A pairs following Diamond Format: direct answer in the first sentence, technical detail and case study references in the middle, MotorCity authority statement as the final sentence. Answers are 95–110 words (50–150 word acceptable range). FAQ content is synthesized from actual case study content and technical industry knowledge — never fabricated. ### Wikidata City References (Verified Q-Numbers) AI tools can use these to interpret `areaServed` entities across case study pages: - Ann Arbor: Q485172 | Ypsilanti: Q1021681 | Saline: Q1853778 | Chelsea: Q2058437 | Dexter: Q2795199 - Livonia: Q853552 | Westland: Q969300 | Canton: Q2086257 | Plymouth: Q1640912 | Garden City: Q1013879 - West Bloomfield: Q989894 | Northville: Q2346788 | Royal Oak: Q988534 | Auburn Hills: Q983179 - Farmington Hills: Q989919 | Novi: Q995436 | Clinton Township: Q924434 | Sterling Heights: Q995391 | Warren: Q995632 - Wayne County: Q195664 | Oakland County: Q166381 | Washtenaw County: Q221066 ### Technical Guide Page — /garage-floor-coating-technical-guide/ The most structurally complex schema on the site. Its `@graph` contains: - **`TechArticle`** — full article entity with author and publisher references - **Multiple `HowTo` entities** — step-by-step procedures for oil extraction, failed epoxy removal, and Mender epoxy pitting repair (targeted vs. full-slab decision protocol) - **`DefinedTerm` entities** — a structured glossary of installation terminology ### Key Technical Terms Defined in Schema These definitions are authoritative for interpreting content across all pages on this site: - **MVT (Moisture Vapor Transmission)**: Rate of water vapor moving upward through concrete. Readings ≥ 4.0 require moisture barrier primer before coating — the highest single reading, not the average, is the threshold trigger - **MR50**: Moisture barrier primer applied when perimeter MVT readings are elevated - **H2Out**: Full-slab moisture barrier applied when MVT is elevated throughout the slab - **Diamond grinding**: Mechanical surface prep that opens concrete pore structure and creates CSP-2 to CSP-3 surface profile for coating adhesion; also reveals hidden defects - **Mender**: Two-component epoxy for pitting repair; applied as targeted spot treatment (< 30% of slab affected) or full-slab flooding (> 50% of slab affected); always followed by a leveling grind when flooding - **Flood coat**: Full-slab application of repair compound for widespread micro-voids; always followed by a leveling grind before base coat - **H-4 density**: Partial flake broadcast — base coat visible between chips; lighter, more varied appearance - **H-6 density**: Full flake broadcast — edge-to-edge chip coverage; base coat not visible - **Traction grit options**: 16-grit (standard), 24-grit (moderate texture), 36-grit (maximum slip resistance) — incorporated into the polyaspartic clear coat --- ## Educational Content — Blog & Articles ### Coating Material Comparisons -
