The return on ranking

Ranking in the local pack for 'airport limo service [city]' can result in 5-10 additional bookings per week, each worth $300-$500. A single wedding package booking from search can cover the entire 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 daily check rather than a monthly report.
