The return on ranking

A single lead from a search like 'concrete driveway [city]' can result in a $10,000 project. Converting just one such lead every few months easily justifies the monthly SEO investment.

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 weekly check rather than a monthly report.
