Does a Homepage Map Help with Local Visibility?

I've been working on a new website for a small service business, and I’m trying to make sure it's optimized for local searches. Someone from a local SEO company mentioned that adding a Google Map to the homepage can improve visibility for people nearby.

I'm curious if others have seen any real impact from this. Does it actually help with local rankings, or is it more for user convenience? Also, are there best practices for where to place the map or how to set it up? Would love to hear your experience with this.
