Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.

Do any of the stacks contain more activities than it's humanly possible to service at the level of professionalism needed to "WOW" a client? Do any cards in these stacks need to be redistributed? Can any cards be discarded? 
But a consistent SYSTEM of operation helps to move your team and business toward the goal of EXCELLENCE. It also relieves a certain amount of stress normally suffered by your team and your client by removing the uncertainty of "what happens next?" 
More than once as a mortgage banker, I have had clients react with shock and disbelief when we share their credit score with them. "But I always pay my bills on time!" many will exclaim.
