AMES Audience Graph • Social Signal

Automotive services dominate AMES's nearest audiences — six of the top 10 neighbors carry an Automotive subcategory, making this a striking cross-kind pattern for a Home Improvement and Hardware retailer.

The shape is two-peak, with AAMCO Transmissions (0.75) and PACK-RAT (0.75) sitting nearly tied at the top, separated by less than 0.001. That near-dead-heat between an automotive repair chain and a moving-and-storage service defines the two poles of the cluster. Enterprise Truck Rental (0.74) reinforces the second pole alongside PACK-RAT, while MAACO (0.72) and Cycle Gear (0.72) deepen the automotive side. Pep Boys (0.70) and U.S. AutoForce (0.70) extend it further. The only neighbor sharing AMES's own subcategory — Home Improvement and Hardware — is Northern Tool + Equipment at 0.66, the ninth-closest match in the set. Stanton Optical (0.70, Eyewear) and Sunbelt Rentals (0.69, Other Business Services) round out the top 10 as the outliers from neither cluster.

The overall picture is an audience shaped primarily by automotive maintenance and vehicle-adjacent services, with a secondary pull toward moving and logistics — and only a faint echo of the home improvement category AMES itself occupies.
