The case

Generic keyword tools tell you 'plumber' has 600,000 searches and you should target it. Nobody in your city searches 'plumber' — they search 'plumber open now Kiel', 'burst pipe emergency Hamburg'. Those are the queries that book jobs.

85% of local service searches are long-tail — 4+ words, problem-specific.
Converting queries have 3–5× lower volume but 8–12× higher conversion.
Your competitors rank for keywords you've never heard of. Most wins hide there.
