The return on ranking
A top 3 local pack ranking during peak season (Sept-Jan) can generate an additional 15-20 calls per month. Converting just 5 of these at an average of $300 per job results in $1,500 of new revenue.
Search intent is mostly local and competition is medium. Rankings here are geo split, so a national average position hides what a buyer in one metro actually sees. Positions warrant a weekly check rather than a monthly report.
