Against Google's own bids
Keyword Planner puts the top-of-page bids for these searches at $4.10 to $29.10: what advertisers bid to show above the results. A typical campaign pays $10.70, inside that range, because Google charges what it takes to beat the ad below and not the bid itself. Planning a budget on the top-of-page bid overstates what clicks will cost.
No published study measures this business on its own, so its price level is the median for its industry in LocaliQ's studies, moved a third of the way toward Google's prices scaled to what campaigns paid. Google's prices set how its services and the states compare.
Searches peak in March, at 46% above June, the slowest month. A budget sized for the slow months runs out sooner in the busy ones.
