Moving searches that are not moving jobs
Our 50-metro pull shows how much moving volume belongs to people moving themselves. Mover box drew 39,880 searches a month and rental truck for moving 25,800, at top bids of $6.77 and $10.02, against movers near me at 59,690 and $11.09 to $39.28. That is why the negatives start with truck rental, boxes, uhaul, penske and budget truck.
Long-distance work bids highest: cross country movers ran $28.05 to $97.74 and long distance moving companies $23.02 to $114.23, each in the one metro where it ranked. VibeAds ranks Long-Distance, Piano and Specialty Item Moving as high-value ad groups and keeps local moves as an everyday group, because the job sizes are so different.
Interstate household movers need a USDOT number from the FMCSA, and shoppers can look it up, so put yours on the landing page. Demand peaks at 1.5x in June and July and drops to 0.7x in December.
