Why is Local SEO so powerful?

Post Covid, Google has been giving preference to local businesses over others as it is understood that people shop based on proximity to their homes or offices. E.g.) You will not try and find a dentist 30 km away from your home, you would prefer someone who is closer.

Google uses multiple signals from your profile to rank you on its maps. When you start ranking near the #1 spot on Google for your target keywords, then you start getting more traffic and leads. Combine that with your other SEO keyword rankings, and you have got a winning marketing strategy!
