Billing formula
What the provider charges for one request of this item. Provider cost is not the customer price and is not an account balance movement; the three are different numbers and this is the first of them.

Frozen acquisition parameters
Frozen at the collector's current construction, with one addition: reviews bill in blocks of 10, so a requested depth that is not a multiple of 10 buys a block it never uses. The depth is rounded UP to the block that was going to be paid for either way, which collects the reviews already bought instead of discarding them.

| Server-side filters | None |
| Order by | None |
| Page window | Not paged |
| Varies by target | keyword, location_code, language_code, depth |
Evidence: Confirmed by the Phase 2 DataForSEO lane audit (Worker A, finding F4) against the collector's own measured cost basis: the purchase reserves 0.00075 * ceil(limit / 10), so a limit of 15 reserves and pays for 20 reviews while requesting only 15.
Conditional in levels: Snapshot, Market, Deep.
