The return on ranking

Acquiring just one new member with an annual value of $1,800 can cover several months of SEO investment. Ranking in the local pack for 'yoga classes [city]' directly drives class sign-ups and membership inquiries.

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.
