The return on ranking

A single commercial paving job can be worth over $20,000. Ranking for 'parking lot paving [city]' and landing just one extra project per quarter provides a massive return on a typical SEO investment.

Search intent is mostly mixed 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.
