The return on ranking

A top 3 local pack position for 'appliance repair near me' can drive 20-30 calls a month. With an average repair ticket of $250, converting just 10% of those calls results in significant revenue.

Search intent is mostly local and competition is high. Rankings here are geo split, so a national average position hides what a buyer in one metro actually sees. Positions warrant a daily check rather than a monthly report.
