Pricing Query Coverage
Budget-stage demand is high intent and badly served almost everywhere, because vendors hide pricing and content sites will not risk a number.
- Measures
- Presence and position on pricing, cost, and budget queries in the subject.
- Data Source
- Search Console query data plus published coverage.
- Indicates
- Reach into the stage immediately before a purchase decision.
- What Moves It
- Publishing real ranges with the conditions attached, rather than declining to answer because the answer varies.
- Does Not Prove
- Commercial outcome. Somebody researching budget may be nine months from buying anything.
- Status
- Measured as coverage now, as performance once data exists.
The usual objection is that pricing varies too much to publish. It does vary. A range with the variables named is still an answer, and it beats the nothing currently sitting there.
