Success with the location to be exactly what is required (3,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hit the spot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be exactly what is required' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'success with the location' is the wordplay.
'success' becomes 'hit' (a hit is a commercial success).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'location' becomes 'spot' (spot is a kind of location).
'hit'+'the'+'spot'='HIT THE SPOT'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
