1,300 page local service site where's the cap off?

Building out a landscaping contractor's site in Orange County, CA. He's done his own SEO research (and a fair bit of asking AI) and landed on wanting 1,000+ pages. The math: 35 services × 38 cities in the county = ~1,330 service-in-city pages, plus the 8 existing pages.

How do I know if my SEO team are doing a good job

I have 2 team members doing two separate jobs. 1 is doing digital paid for google and meta and another is doing the google search console and organic marketing. Which report can I share here (or in private) to get someone’s real professional feedback. We’re spending money and I don’t know if we have gotten leads to our clients(some captured, some not) and what our CPL is. Please help if you genuinely know.
