FAQ
Landscaping Blended CPL questions
At the $3K–$5K monthly spend tier, a typical healthy range is $15–$30. Strong performance is under $15. Consistent performance over $40 flags a structural problem — usually negative-keyword gaps, landing-page friction, or mismatched audience targeting.
Strong seasonal. Hardscaping + holiday lighting + leaf cleanup active fall/early winter. Metro density also matters — NYC, LA, and SF sit 30–40% above the national average, while smaller markets run 10–20% lower. The benchmark here is a national baseline; apply a metro adjustment factor for a tighter read.
Observational data from managed-account review blended with public benchmark reports (LocaliQ 2026, WordStream 2026) weighted toward the $3K–$5K monthly spend tier that dominates local service and product advertising. This benchmark is tagged high-confidence based on observed ranges.
The fastest wins against high Blended CPL are usually (1) trimming unqualified search terms via aggressive negatives, (2) tightening audiences to recent-intent converters, and (3) improving landing-page conversion rate so more clicks turn into leads. Bid-strategy swaps are the last lever, not the first.
