The typical junk removal or dumpster rental account spends about $1,500 a month on Google Search, and the middle half spend between about $700 and $2,300.

Yes, on every channel. 'Near me' searches are about a quarter of junk removal ad clicks and cost about 7% less per click with the same cost per lead, and on organic results they bring about 19% of non-brand clicks from only about 7% of impressions.

Ad searches with price words convert about 24% less, but their clicks cost about 18% less, so the cost per lead comes out the same as other junk removal searches.

About 1 in 20 clicks in a typical junk removal account already comes from someone searching a competitor's name, mostly 1-800-GOT-JUNK, and often to check prices.

About 5% of people who see a junk removal Search ad click it, and where tracking is complete about 1 in 8 of those clicks becomes a call or form.

Only if your account counts real calls and form submissions and nothing else.

A typical junk removal Business Profile gets about 11 to 14 taps on its call button a month, plus about 29 website clicks and 22 direction requests.

A typical junk removal website gets about 75 clicks a month from Google's organic results, about 55 of them from people who didn't search the business's name.
