How We Calculated This

CPC figures are VibeAds category benchmarks (estimates): modelled per-category estimates of what this kind of business typically pays, not measured results from campaigns we run. Treat them as a planning range rather than a quote. Monthly clicks are calculated by dividing the minimum viable budget of $26/day ($780/month) by the average CPC of $8.50. That floor is three clicks a day, the point below which a campaign gathers too little data to optimise; the budget guide works through the higher tiers. Lead estimates assume a 7% landing page conversion rate, which is the median for optimized local service landing pages. Cost per lead is total monthly spend divided by estimated leads.
