Local search is a different contest than regular ranking: Google weighs proximity, relevance and prominence, and shows the map pack — the three local results with reviews — above everything else for 'plumber Budapest' queries. Winning it is mostly not website work: it is a complete Business Profile, consistent name-address-phone everywhere, and a steady stream of real reviews.
The website's part is corroboration: the same NAP on the site as on the profile, local business schema, content that mentions the actual service area, and pages that answer local questions. A studio in Dunakeszi competing for 'web developer Budapest' needs the site, the profile and the reviews telling the same story.
