Strategy
What does the data mean for an Ohio business?
Four findings stand out in the Ohio figures.
- Demand is spread across cities
- Cincinnati leads with only 33% of tracked searches, and Cleveland follows with 31%. No single city page can carry a statewide business here.
- Most expensive legal click: Cincinnati
- One click on a personal injury lawyer search costs about $114 in Cincinnati, against $54 in Cleveland. Ad budgets should be set city by city, not for the state as a whole.
- Easiest city to rank in: Dayton
- Average ranking difficulty across the three searches is 35 out of 100, the lowest of the 4 cities. Columbus is the hardest at 44.
- Most searched service: dentist
- Across the 4 cities, dentist searches total 4,500 a month, ahead of personal injury lawyer at 3,340 and plumber at 3,120.
Services
Which services fit a business that covers Ohio?
A business that serves more than one Ohio city needs each location to rank on its own without competing with the others.
- Local SEO. One page and one Google Business Profile for each city the business really serves, starting with Cincinnati.
- Franchise and multi-location SEO. A shared structure for branches in several Ohio cities, so that two locations never target the same search.
- Google Ads. Separate campaigns and budgets by city, because the same legal click costs $114 in Cincinnati and $54 in Cleveland.
- SEO for statewide and online businesses. For companies that sell across Ohio without a local service area, planned from a topical map of what they sell, not from city names.

Pricing
How much does marketing for an Ohio business cost?
