Dates, sources & what this measures

A stronger Google presence, a live directory profile and useful plumbing articles support discovery for this established Kelowna business. Matching two-week periods show more profile activity and website clicks.

More Google users are taking the next step to the website. The next focus is turning that attention into qualified enquiries, with a clearer website and direct feedback from the business.

Google Business Profile activity, not confirmed jobs, unique customers or a controlled attribution study. September 1–16 and October 1–16 are matching two-week windows; neither is described as before the client hired OKTD. Full-month August to September totals declined: profile views 832 → 780, interactions 45 → 30, calls 10 → 8, website clicks 35 → 22. The year-over-year figures use September 2026 versus September 2025, not the two-week windows; the full year-over-year growth cannot be attributed solely to OKTD. The owner reported #2 on October 17. An independent October 17 Google check for the exact displayed query showed the business third among unpaid local business results, behind Family Man Plumbing and Bree-link, excluding sponsored entries. The session footer showed Willoughby, Langley Twp, BC from the IP address; results were marked not personalized. This establishes a dated top-three local-pack observation, not a universal or permanent rank.

Google-reported year-over-year changes, rounded. These figures compare full September months. They are distinct from the matching two-week comparison and do not establish that OKTD caused all of the growth.

Third among unpaid local business results in our saved check, excluding sponsored listings. The owner separately observed #2. Search session: Willoughby, Langley Twp, BC from IP; results marked not personalized. Positions vary by location, query and time.

Where the clicks go

Home & Garden
Sep 2026 · all devices

International organic-search benchmark. Area selection changes the example, not these rates. These are not measured Vancouver Island percentages.

CTR means clicks ÷ impressions at a position. These averages are not slices of one pie and should not be added together.

illustrative enquiries

Your 5% conversion assumption is adjustable. It is not an observed industry rate.

This shows the maths, not a traffic or lead forecast. Local demand, ads, AI answers, seasonality, devices and your offer change the outcome. Search impressions are not unique people or estimated local search volume.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR HOME SERVICES IN VICTORIA

Earn the attention. Make the next step easy.

Match the actual job: repair, replacement and emergency work are different needs. Clear services and an easy quote request help the right customer choose.

Then measure: quote requests and qualified calls, alongside visibility. Match the dates, separate branded searches and keep the starting baseline.

Sources, scope and how we build a local comparison

The chart uses the first ten positions from Advanced Web Ranking’s Categories export: September 2026, International, All devices, downloaded October 15, 2026. Broad categories provide context; they are not a study of these specific trades in the Okanagan.

For a local client, we use Search Console clicks, impressions and CTR by query, device and period; Google Business Profile actions; and actual enquiries or bookings. Local rank checks record the search phrase and location. Competitor tools help prioritise opportunities but estimated rankings and search volume do not establish a local click share or prove a lead.

AI answers can change how people use a results page. AWR’s Q2 2026 study reports different click patterns with AI Overviews. We show dated AI citations in our client stories and measure customer outcomes separately.
