This is what has happened, not a forecast, and each card says how much history it rests on.

What this page does not have for Vancouver, BC. Search demand and ad click cost are measured here the same way they are for US metros. Two things are missing and we would rather say so than fill the space.

Technician pay. Our wage figures come from US Department of Labor data, which does not cover Canada. Job Bank is the equivalent source and is not wired up yet.
Input costs. The producer price indexes elsewhere on this site are US series. Showing them here would be showing you a US number and calling it yours.

Ad click costs are reported in US dollars, as our data provider returns them. They are not converted.

How to read this: Every figure in a row is measured by the one search term printed under the job name, so demand, click cost and history all describe the same thing. Ad click cost is the average Google Ads cost-per-click for that term in this area, what competitors pay Google for one click, shown against the Canadian national 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 term; the small line shows the last 12 months. A click cost shown as held: out of line was under 15% or over 4 times its country's national figure for that term; held: no reliable figure means the provider returned none, or one under fifty cents. Neither is shown. A click cost marked low volume rests on fewer than 100 searches a month and can swing a lot from one pull to the next: treat it as a signal, not a price. We do not publish job price ranges: we have no source for them that we can show you. Source: DataForSEO (Google Ads search volume). Retrieved September 24, 2026. How we source this →
