The return on ranking

Ranking in the local pack for 'attic insulation [city]' can generate 5-10 qualified leads per month. Closing just one of these jobs, valued at over $2,000, typically covers the entire monthly SEO investment.

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.
