A single click on “Botox near me” in Manhattan costs more than a fast-food meal — Wordstream’s healthcare ad data puts the average cosmetic dermatology CPC between $5 and $18, and competitive metros push higher. A dermatology practice running Google Ads for cosmetic procedures can easily burn $4,000 a month and still not be the first name a patient sees when they decide to book.
A single inground pool install averages $35,000 to $65,000 — yet most pool builders still pay Angi $30 to $90 per shared lead instead of ranking on Google themselves.
