The return on ranking
Ranking in the top 3 of the Local Pack can generate 5-10 extra calls per day. With an average tow value of $250, this translates directly to significant daily 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 daily check rather than a monthly report.
