No margin is published for carpet cleaners here, so the payback figures need your own.
Dot colour: a niche pays back within the US benchmark call rate (green), needs up to twice that call rate (amber), or needs more than twice that call rate (red); a red niche only reads "needs repeat work or a bigger clean" when its break-even call rate is over 100%. Teal means no urgent-intent benchmark exists for this niche, so compare the break-even rate with your own call rate instead.

Keyword table
Two keywords carry more than half of the searches. Each keyword is tagged with the segment its niche belongs to; the shared pool can feed any of them. Google rounds search volumes and estimates prices; treat small differences as noise. "Top-of-page bid, low to high" is Google Ads' own estimate of what you would need to bid to show near the top of the results page, not a price anyone has paid.
The market every segment shares
These numbers don't pick a segment for you. They set the size of the prize and the price of entry for all of them.

Method
Search terms: a fixed keyword set per service, tagged by intent (generic, near me, service and adjacent), targeted to each city using Google Ads city-level location codes, not a text match.
Headline monthly searches is the mean of the last 12 months of the core keyword set; the full 48-month series is shown on the chart.
Year-on-year change is total core-keyword searches in the last 12 months against the 12 months before that, for Perth's own totals (the two most recent 12-month blocks in the demand table).
Headline cost per click is the volume-weighted median of each keyword's mean cost per click over the core set, called "typical cost per click (median)" throughout. The top-of-page bid is shown separately with its own label; the highest single-keyword cost per click is never the headline.
A keyword is flagged Volatile when its 24-month maximum is 2.5 times its minimum or more, or when a single month makes up 40% or more of its 12-month total. Volatile keywords stay in the totals.
Prices convert from Google Ads US dollars to Australian dollars at the US Federal Reserve's H.10 monthly average rate for September 2026 (1 AUD = 0.7115 USD). Ranks compare cost per click (cheapest to dearest) and monthly searches (most to fewest) across the 25 cities with data for this service and across the cities in the same state, and business density (fewest to most) across 8 states and territories; a trend is only stated when the change is 5% or more.
Segments: each niche is tagged by how its own numbers pay back. Quick cash clears its ad cost on the first clean; Big tickets have the largest profit per clean in the service; Client book pays back over 12 months of repeat visits. A niche can carry up to two tags, or none ("not proven on these numbers") if neither test clears the bar. A niche with no published price carries "No price source yet" and asks you to put in yours. General and near-me keywords sit in a shared pool.
Confidence: each niche carries a confidence level (High/Medium/Low/None) for its weakest input among search volume, click price, clean value and margin. High means sourced for this exact city or an official AU figure. Medium means AU-sourced but national or industry-level. Low means a single weak source, an overseas figure or a US benchmark. None means no sourced figure; put in your own.
The modelled figure on this page is "searches per business" in the competition section, which assumes business density is even within a state, so a city's share of state businesses is approximated by its share of state population; it is the only number tagged "(estimate)". The segment cards, niche table and plan are a worked example using example clean rates you can replace with your own. Every other figure is a direct read from the source cited in the data section.
