What does is it cost to generate a lead these days? We took it upon ourselves to analyze the most expensive property-related keywords in commercial real estate based on Google Adwords cost-per-click (CPC) data.

Cost-per-click is the cost an advertiser will pay Google for a website visitor to click on their Ad and it can vary drastically depending on the market and keyword you are targeting. Specifically, Ads may appear in Google’s search results (search network) or within web pages (content network).
