How to read this: Price range is a typical national range for the job (a starting point, not a quote). Ad click cost is the average Google Ads cost-per-click (CPC) for that job in this area, what competitors pay Google for one click, shown against the US average. It is not your cost per booked lead: divide by your own conversion rate for that (a $20 click at a 15% conversion is about a $133 lead). Demand is monthly searches for that job; the small line shows the last 12 months; the badge compares the most recent 3 months with the same period a year ago (smoothed, so one odd month does not skew it), telling you whether interest is rising or cooling.
