Where the four services meet
An Allentown service business draws its work from a metro area of 887,615 people, and the first contact often starts with a search, a call and a decision about whom to trust. Lithium Marketing runs the website, the search pages, the Google Ads and the phone line as one plan, so all four point at the same business.
43.2% of Allentown’s occupied homes are owner-occupied, so a call can come from a tenant and the approval from a landlord. A plan for a repair trade has to answer both, and the pages should say who can authorize the job before a crew is sent.
The four pieces
Start with the piece that loses the most calls today, then add the next one when your own numbers support it.
Search in Allentown
Searches that name Allentown for a marketing service are small: about 170 a month for “web design allentown” and 50 for “seo allentown”. A page for each service you sell reaches the customers those phrases never name, because a caller with a burst pipe does not type the word marketing.
Even the phrase “digital marketing allentown” draws about 10 searches a month, so a plan built only on agency searches would starve. The pages that earn calls are named for the work: drain cleaning, roof repair, a spring cleanup.

The Allentown market
82.1% of Allentown’s housing was built before 1980, and that shapes what a service site has to show: a page for each repair or replacement job you sell, with photos from houses like the ones your customers live in.
Allentown has 7,176 people per square mile, so a service area a few neighborhoods wide can hold thousands of customers. Old Allentown and Old Fairgrounds are Center City neighborhoods, and a page named for a part of town reads differently to a customer than a page titled “Allentown”.

Trades in Lehigh County
Lehigh County has 8,681 establishments, including 136 landscaping services. The largest groups sell very different work, so the page plan should follow the jobs your own crews take, not the county’s biggest trade.
A roofer and a landscaper need different pages even when they work the same streets. One sells a repair after a leak, the other sells a season of maintenance, and the questions a customer asks before hiring are not the same.

The order we work in
The first month is for seeing where today’s calls come from, not for spending more on ads.
Before anything new runs, we wire call and form tracking on the site, the Google Business Profile and any ads already live. The first report then shows which searches and pages produced the calls you already get.
A slow site or a hidden phone number gets fixed before anything new is sent to it, because every service ends up on that page.
Service pages and neighborhood pages go up for the work you want more of, written for the customer who is deciding between two companies.
Google Ads cover the weeks the calendar is thin, and the AI receptionist answers the calls the site and the ads produce.
A case across three services
Sarkinen Plumbing serves the Portland area, and its card reflects the website, SEO and Google Ads Lithium ran for the company. Chris Martin of Mt. Hood Pro Painting gives his own account of the work beside it.

“Ever since we've used Lithium Marketing, our phone has been ringing off the hook and we can hardly keep up with the leads we get from Google, Facebook or through our website. Most of our leads other than referrals are through Google and it's all because of Lithium Marketing.”

Bethlehem and Easton are their own cities, and each has a page here for the same four services. The Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton metro page covers the valley around them, and the Pennsylvania directory opens the rest of the state.

Scoped

Clear, upfront pricing after a free discovery call. Custom builds typically take 1–2 weeks.
Optional hosting and maintenance: $99/month. Secure private hosting on a dedicated high-speed server, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes are all included. Most clients choose this option to keep their new website updated and running smoothly; it is not required.
Our usual service agreement starts with six months, then continues month to month with 30 days’ cancellation notice. Your written agreement sets the final terms. The AI receptionist has no contract.
FAQ
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Find the gap that costs the most work. A phone that rings out points to the AI receptionist, a site that hides the number points to a rebuild, and a business that is invisible in search points to SEO or Google Ads. On the first call, a co-founder reads the tracking, the site and the listings and puts those in order.
You can start with one. Pick the service that fixes the biggest gap, keep the tracking in place, and add the next one when the calls justify the cost.
Lithium is headquartered in Portland, with team members in Portland, Bend and Seattle, and we work with every client by video. A co-founder runs the strategy calls, an account manager answers day-to-day questions, and the work is reviewed on video at each stage.
Each service carries its own price, so the total is the combination you choose, and the price block above lists each one. Add the second service when the first is producing calls you can count. You see the combined figure before any work starts.
One report covers all four services and shows calls, leads and cost per lead, plus the pages and ads that produced them. The work is reviewed with you on a video call, and anything that is not producing a call gets changed.
Free action plan
Tell us what you sell, where you work and which calls go unanswered today. A co-founder will read the site first, then spend a short video call on the one change that would bring more of those calls in.
