NAICS 811111 shares its 4-digit group 8111 with other 6-digit codes, so the 6-digit figure cannot be isolated at CMA geography without silently substituting the coarser group.

Method
Search terms: a fixed keyword set per service for Canada, tagged by intent (general, near me, urgent and specific jobs), targeted to London with Google Ads location codes, not a text match.
Monthly searches is the average of the last 12 months, summed across the counted keywords. Related keywords are listed but never counted.
Click price is the search-weighted average click price across the counted keywords (sum of each keyword's click price times its monthly searches, divided by total searches), as Google Ads reports the per-keyword prices via DataForSEO.
Year on year compares the last 12 months of counted searches with the 12 months before.
Cost per booked job is the click price divided by the lead rate times the booking rate. The lead rate is LocaliQ's US share of clicks that become calls or forms for the closest industry (US benchmark); the booking rate is ServiceTitan's share of calls that book, for trades (US/Canada benchmark). Where either rate has no source, the page prints no number.
DataForSEO reports click prices in US$; they convert to CAD at the Federal Reserve H.10 September 2026 average (1 CAD = 0.7157 US$).
The tags “Lowest click price on this page” and “Highest click price on this page” rank the intent groups on this page by click price. They are rankings, not verdicts.
