Start with the whole plan

The four services an Antioch business can put on one plan

Antioch has 118,958 residents, and the service businesses that serve them range from a one-truck shop to a full crew. Lithium Marketing runs the website, local SEO, Google Ads and AI receptionist that turn searches for a plumber, a roofer or a landscaper into booked appointments.

The plan starts with tracking, because a call that cannot be traced to a page or an ad cannot be repeated. Without that record, a bigger budget only buys more guesses.

The city behind the searches

Owners, older houses and a plan that fits both

Antioch is the third-most populous city in Contra Costa County, and it added 3.2% to its population between 2020 and 2025, so the customer base is growing. Of its occupied homes, 63.6% are owner-occupied, so the pages should speak to owners and to the landlords who hire for a rental.

Antioch’s median home value is $629,700, and only 6.9% of the city’s homes were built in 2010 or later. That mix favors repair and replacement pages over new-build pages, with a service page for each job you want to sell.

The county trade base

The county’s trade base, and what it means for a plan

Contra Costa County holds 25,932 businesses, including 721 residential remodelers, 355 landscaping companies and 324 plumbing and HVAC contractors. A plan for one of those trades starts with the searches it sells.

Roofing and pest control sell differently: the county has 86 roofing contractors and 52 pest control companies. A roofer sells one large job and a pest company sells a recurring visit, so their pages and budgets should not follow the same rule.

The order of work

The order a plan should follow

Tracking first, then the site, then the channels that earn the most calls for your trade.

1

Put a source on every call

Call tracking goes on the site, the Google Business Profile and any running ads, so the first report shows where today’s jobs come from.

2

Repair the page a call lands on

If the site is slow or hides the phone number, that gets fixed before any budget goes to ads.

3

Build the pages your trades sell

SEO adds service and city pages, while Google Ads covers the jobs you need booked this month.

4

Answer the calls you paid for

The AI receptionist answers the calls, books the job and transfers the ones that need a person.

FAQ

Before you hire an agency in Antioch

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].

Which of the four services should an Antioch business start with?

Look at where the work is leaking. A phone that rings out after hours points to the AI receptionist. A site that hides the number on mobile points to a rebuild. If the site converts but the searches never arrive, the answer is SEO and Google Ads.

Can we start with one service and add more later?

You can. Begin with the gap that costs the most work, then add another service when its results justify the fee. The new work reports into the same call tracking, so it can be judged beside what already runs.

How does Lithium work with a business in Antioch?

By video and phone, with a co-founder on strategy calls and an account manager for the day to day. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video.

If we add a second service, how is the price set?

Each service carries its own price, so a second service adds its own fee and does not shift the first. What you pay depends on the pages, campaigns or setup that service needs, and the figure is agreed before the work starts.

Do you work only with trades?

Most of the work is trades and home services, with manufacturing, insurance and real estate clients too. The plan is the same shape for all of them: a site and a profile that answer the search before the first call.
