3. Counter Velocity Initiatives:

• Manage local visibility programs to drive offline footfall, including Google My Business (GMB) profile optimization and store-level ratings/reviews for retail outlets.
• Maintain and optimize the brand's digital Store Locator, ensuring accurate dealer data, geo-tagging, and high search discoverability.
• Link consumer footfall initiatives with counter-level retailer engagement to demonstrate clear value to the channel.

4. Analytics, Budgeting & Governance:
