The return on ranking

Ranking in the local pack for 'tires [city]' can bring in 5-10 new customers per month. With an average sale of $600 for a set of four tires, this directly translates to $3,000-$6,000 in monthly revenue.

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.
