What local marketing really costs, with sources

Benchmarks and price points we use in our guides. Every row names its source and says how sure we are: read on the publisher's own page, or only quoted second-hand.

Updated October 2026. Reference points for planning, not quotes: real prices depend on your market, season and negotiation.

Advertising benchmarks

Medians by industry. CPC = cost per click, CTR = click-through rate, Conv = conversion rate, CPL = cost per lead.

How to read the confidence labels

  • Report: we read the figure on the publisher's own page.
  • Rate card: we read it on the vendor's pricing page.
  • Second-hand: quoted by a roundup; we could not open the original.
  • Estimate: a vendor or agency estimate, not a measured rate.

Use them, then use your own numbers

Industry medians include advertisers of every size. Plug them into the budget calculator or the ad break-even calculator as a starting point, then replace them with your own cost per lead after 30 days. See something out of date? Email hi@datalatte.pro and we will check it.
