The return on ranking

Securing a single multi-year lease for a 100,000 sq ft facility through organic search can generate millions in revenue. SEO is focused on capturing high-intent leads from logistics managers and supply chain directors.

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.
