How to read it

What the dietetics numbers are saying.

Dietetics carries the 9th cheapest weighted click price of the 20 priced niches in this dataset at $8.62 top-of-page. The volume concentrates in "dietitian" at 9,900 searches a month, and the priciest term Google reports is "online dietitian" at $11.49. The weighted average CPC sits below the top-of-page estimate, which is the normal pattern: plan on the ceiling. Accounts often land under it as quality score builds, though auction conditions can push the other way.

The indicative CPL of $55 to $85 is derived, not observed: it applies a typical healthcare click-to-lead conversion rate of 10 to 15 per cent to the weighted click price. A well-built account with a strong offer can land below it; a weak landing page can blow past it. Treat it as a planning anchor and let the account's own data replace it.

Dietetics FAQs

Straight answers from the data.

How much does Google Ads cost for a dietetics practice in Australia?

In our Q3 2026 pull, top-of-page bids across the 6 priced dietetics keywords run from $5.31 to $11.49, with a search-volume-weighted average CPC of $6.08. Every price is set by a live auction and moves with location, season and competition, so treat these as indicative ranges rather than a rate card.

What is a good cost per lead for a dietetics practice on Google Ads?

An indicative range of $55 to $85 per lead can be derived from the niche's volume-weighted top-of-page bid of $8.62 at a typical healthcare click-to-lead conversion rate of 10 to 15 per cent. This is a formula-derived planning figure, not an observed benchmark, and a well-built account with a strong offer can land below it.

How much should a dietetics practice spend on Google Ads per month?

Google suggests evaluating Smart Bidding over a window containing at least 30 conversions. If you want that read monthly, at the indicative $55 to $85 cost per lead it means roughly $1,650 to $2,550 a month in ad spend. That is evaluation guidance, not a platform minimum. Under roughly $1,500 a month, consolidate: one campaign and a small number of ad groups so the conversion data pools.

Figures are indicative, auction-based ranges from our Q3 2026 dataset, not quotes or guarantees. Nothing on this page reports any specific practice's results.
