So now in order to be competitive in a contest, you have to have 1) a
decent operator, 2) a good radio, 3) good antennas, and 4) a good social
media presence.  So do I engage a PR firm to spam Facebook and Instragram
to juice the search results such that my FB feed appears first on the
search results?
