Strategy
What does the data mean for a Detroit business?
Four findings stand out in the Detroit figures. Each one changes where time and budget should go first.
- Largest demand: dentist
- 1,600 searches a month, 16% below the median of the 30 cities we track. Ranking difficulty for this search is 44 out of 100.
- Most expensive click: personal injury lawyer
- Advertisers pay about $53 for one click on this search. At that price, 100 clicks cost about $5,300. A page that ranks for it without ads is worth far more than one that ranks for a cheaper search.
- Easiest opening: web design
- Ranking difficulty is 11 out of 100, the lowest of the seven searches, with 590 searches a month. The hardest is roofing at 49.
- Below the median on every search
- Every search we track is at or below the 30-city median in Detroit. The closest is HVAC at 100% of the median, and the furthest is roofing at 36%.

Local market
Which parts of the Detroit area do you cover?
We work with businesses across the Detroit area, including Dearborn, Warren, Sterling Heights, Livonia, Troy, Southfield, Royal Oak and Ann Arbor.
Most of the metro population lives in the suburbs of Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties, not in the city itself. Ranking difficulty in Detroit is the lowest of the 30 cities we track, which makes it one of the more reachable large markets.
Detroit is on Eastern Time, 9 hours behind Pakistan in summer and 10 in winter. A suburb gets its own page only when there is something specific to say about it, never by swapping the place name, which is how doorway pages are made.
