The return on ranking

A top ranking for 'corporate video production [city]' can lead to projects valued at over $10,000. Securing one such client per quarter provides a substantial return on the annual SEO budget.

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.
