Locksmith ads in Ottawa: C$14.43 a click

What a booked job costs in clicks

At a lead rate of 8.05% of clicks (calls and forms; US benchmark, LocaliQ 2026, Home & Home Improvement) and a booking rate of 42% of calls (US/Canada benchmark, ServiceTitan, call-booking rate for trades), a booked job costs about C$427 in clicks at C$14.43 a click.

Cost per booked job in Ottawa is the click price divided by the lead rate times the booking rate. The rates are national benchmarks, not Ottawa figures; the planner below starts from them and you can change both.

Locksmith businesses in Ottawa

Statistics Canada does not publish a business count for locksmiths in Ottawa at this level, so this page shows none. It publishes counts for Ottawa only for broader industry groups, which mix locksmiths with other businesses. That is a finding about the published statistics, not about how many locksmiths work here.
