- Each small ball is one phrase in its tower's group. Bigger means more searches. Grey means Google shows no click cost.
- The five largest phrases in a group are named. The other balls are further phrases in the group; their wording is not shown.
- The big ball in the centre is the metro as a whole; the six towers break it down.
- The rings are average click cost – cheap near the centre, costly near the edge. Gold is Philadelphia; blue is a second metro, if you pick one.

Searches for a provider are the non-branded ABA-related searches that ABAOps classifies as looking for a provider – a service a practice offers, in this market. It is ABAOps' classification, not Google's. Click costs are historical averages, not quotes. Searches are not families, and nothing here predicts what a practice will receive or pay. The method and the national figures are on the benchmarks page.
