The importance lies in the fact that each of the twelve Jyotirlingas is considered Swayambhu, meaning they are self-manifested and self-existent. They are not created by humans or artificially made. As a result, they represent the complete essence of Bhagawan Shiva.
According to the Koti Rudra Samhita of Shiva Purana-
सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथं च श्री शैले मल्लिकार्जुनम् ।
उज्जयिन्यां महाकालमोंकारे परमेश्वरम् ।।
केदारं हिमवत्पृष्ठे डाकिन्यां भीमशङ्करम् ।
वाराणास्यां च विश्वेशं त्रयम्बकं गौतमीतटे ।।
सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथं च श्री शैले मल्लिकार्जुनम् ।
उज्जयिन्यां महाकालमोंकारे परमेश्वरम् ।।
केदारं हिमवत्पृष्ठे डाकिन्यां भीमशङ्करम् ।
वाराणास्यां च विश्वेशं त्रयम्बकं गौतमीतटे ।।
वैद्यनाथं चिताभूमौ नागेशं दारुकावने । सेतुबन्धे तु रामेशं घुश्मेशं च शिवालये ।। द्वादशैतानि नामानि प्रात्यस्त्थाय यः पठेत् । सर्वपापविनिर्मुक्तं सर्वसिद्धिफलं लभेत् ।।

The Places of Jyotirlinga are subject to research and not 100% certain however, The Jyotirlinga which I have mentioned is purely based on the recognitions made by greatest sage of this kaliyuga, Sri Adi Shankaracharya.
Please let me know if you need a detailed thread on each jyotirlinga as every jyotirlinga is unique in itself. 🙏
