counter value is incrementing just once in if else condition inside while loop

The purpose of the code below is

1. Scan the Location of the bot
2. Scan the state of the location, whether it is dirty or clean
3. Do this continuously until the bot get 3 times "no" state continuously

The issue is: counter value increment just once, counter = 1, and then never increment. That's why the loop never ends.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char location[1];
    char state[4];
    int count;

    //If the bot get state "no" 3 times continuosly, end the loop.
    while(count<3){

        //Scan bot location
        printf("Bot Location ?\n");                 
        scanf("%s",&location);

        if(strcmp(location, "a")==0){
            printf("Is it dirty?\n");
            //Scan state of the location, dirty or clean (yes or no)
            scanf("%s",&state);

            if(strcmp(state,"yes")==0){

                //Reset the counter value to zero if state is yes
                count=0;

                //printing the counter value
                printf("Value of Counter %d \n",count);
                printf("Clean\n");
                printf("Go left to B\n");
            }
            else if (strcmp(state,"no")==0) {
                printf("Go Left to B\n");

                //Counter increment if state is no
                count++;
                printf("Value of Counter %d \n",count);
            }
            else {
                printf("Wrong input\n");
            }
        }
        else if (strcmp(location, "b")==0){
            printf("Is B dirty?\n");
            scanf("%s",&state);

            if(strcmp(state,"yes")==0){

                //Reset the counter value to zero if state is yes, same as Location A
                count=0;
                printf("Clean\n");
                printf(" Go Right to A\n");
                printf("Value of Counter %d \n",count); 
            }
            else if (strcmp(state,"no")==0) {
                printf("Go Right to A\n");

                //Counter increment if state is no, same as Location A
                count++;
                printf("Value of Counter %d \n",count);
            }
            else {
                printf("Wrong input\n");
            }
        }
        else {
            printf("Location not found\n");
        }
    }
    return 0;
}
