Value of a "highly seo'ed" web page for service business?

I have a lame web page currently, part of the "benefits" of the trade group I belong to. They have an "upgrade option" but the included tools are not all that great.

I decided to use wordpress and take advantage of the seo plugins and other features to really go after seo optimization. I am hoping to provide services locally and nationwide.

Any other business owners care to share the results of a similar effort? Did it bring in business? It is going to take a lot of work and it would be nice to hear if others have seen results from their efforts. I am going after specialized QuickBooks related services and currently there are very few people heavily advertising what I do. I would guesstimate there are fewer than 100 people offering the services I am pursuing and when I do searches there are very few "hits" for the search terms.
