The return on ranking

Ranking in the top 3 of the Local Pack can generate 5-10 additional calls per week. With an average repair value of $200, this translates directly to thousands in monthly 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.
