The return on ranking

Ranking in the local pack for 'sprinkler repair' can generate 5-10 new jobs per month, each worth an average of $350. A single 'irrigation installation' lead from organic search can be worth over $5,000 in 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.
