What Do the Numbered Dots Represent?

The numbered dots on the images show where the client’s business ranks in Google search results for specific geographic areas. Lower numbers (1-3) indicate top-ranking positions in their service area, which are highly visible and attract the most clicks. Higher numbers (10+) show lower rankings, making the business less likely to be seen by potential customers.
