Against Google's own bids

Keyword Planner puts the top-of-page bids for these searches at $2.90 to $16.50: what advertisers bid to show above the results. A typical campaign pays $3.90, 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.

The price level comes from LocaliQ's own median for this business, from what real campaigns paid; Google's prices only set how its services and the states compare.

Searches peak in January, at 45% above December, the slowest month. A budget sized for the slow months runs out sooner in the busy ones.

Where the figures come from

Google's own search counts and click prices for the year to August 2026 (Keyword Planner, through DataForSEO), scaled to what campaigns paid in LocaliQ's published studies, rounded to ten cents. They are medians: half of campaigns pay more. The full method is on the benchmark page, and the budget calculator runs on the same data for any ZIP code.
