Mobile Auto Detailing benchmark questions
At the $3K–$5K monthly spend tier, a Mobile Auto Detailing account meeting target performance runs a blended CPL of $12–$25. Under $12 is elite. Over $35 is a red flag — typically a targeting or creative problem, not a platform problem.
Spring/summer peak (pre-sale, car shows). Winter dip in cold climates, year-round in warm. Meta strong for before/after content. Budget pacing should flex to match — defending impression share during peak and shifting spend toward lower-CPC shoulder seasons when volume allows.
It depends on the intent mix. For emergency-driven service verticals, Google Search and Local Services Ads dominate. For visual or discovery-driven verticals, Meta often runs at a lower CPL. Compare the platform-specific rows above to see where Mobile Auto Detailing accounts typically concentrate spend.
No. A $15 CPL from unqualified lead-gen traffic is worse than a $45 CPL from high-intent searchers. Ad Collab judges account health by cost per qualified opportunity — factoring close rate and job value — not CPL alone. The benchmark ranges on this page assume the lead mix you’d expect from a healthy local service operator running properly-targeted campaigns.
