What a booked job costs in clicks

There is a sourced lead rate for mechanic (15.51% of clicks call or fill a form; US benchmark, LocaliQ 2026, Automotive - Repair, Service & Parts) but no sourced booking rate, so this page prints no cost per booked job. Put in your own booking rate in the planner below to see it.

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

Each row uses the same two rates as the sentence above, so the order follows click price.
