Strategy
What does the data mean for a San Jose business?
Four findings stand out in the San Jose figures. Each one changes where time and budget should go first.
- Largest demand: plumber
- 1,300 searches a month, 19% below the median of the 30 cities we track. Ranking difficulty for this search is 40 out of 100.
- Most expensive click: personal injury lawyer
- Advertisers pay about $90 for one click on this search. At that price, 100 clicks cost about $9,000. A page that ranks for it without ads is worth far more than one that ranks for a cheaper search.

- Ranking difficulty is 13 out of 100, the lowest of the seven searches, with 590 searches a month. The hardest is personal injury lawyer at 65.
- Below the median on every search
