Make the budget accountable

Atlanta PPC management begins with the cost of a customer

Lithium Marketing plans and manages paid search campaigns for Atlanta service businesses, linking ads to landing pages and lead tracking. The average click price for “garage door repair atlanta” is $61.77. At that price, an unanswered call or a page that hides the repair offer deserves attention before the budget grows.

We ask what a booked job is worth, which services have room on the schedule and where your crews can work. The campaign follows those choices. Calls and forms show what the ads produce; your booking feedback helps us decide which searches are worth buying again.

Time the offer

Let your booking history guide seasonal ad changes

Atlanta summers are hot and humid. If your HVAC repair calls increase during summer, prepare the repair campaign and check that your staff can answer the phones before increasing its budget. Bookings and available capacity should decide the size of the change.

Atlanta receives precipitation throughout the year. If weather-related jobs are part of your service, keep their ads and landing pages ready when you choose to promote them. Review your own call records for timing, then adjust spend to the work you can schedule.

Budget by service

Compete on the offer as well as the bid

There are 71 roofing contractor establishments in Fulton County. The search “roofing company atlanta” averages $31.50 a click. Separate repair and replacement campaigns when they are different offers, so the landing page and budget can be judged against the jobs each produces.

Fulton County’s landscaping industry includes 196 establishments. Specific ad copy can explain the project you want to quote and the places you serve. Cutting unsuitable searches and following up on estimate requests both matter before competing through a larger bid.

Campaign setup and care

Give every Atlanta campaign a measurable purpose

Before launch, we agree which jobs the ads should bring, what you can spend and how to measure the response.

1

Review the account and job economics

We inspect existing campaigns and ask which services earn their place on your schedule. That sets the starting budget and the searches to target.

2

Connect measurement to the customer response

We set up call and form tracking with GA4 and conversion tags, checking that the account records customer contacts. Tell us which leads became jobs so we can compare campaigns by the work they brought in.

3

Match the ad to its service page

Campaigns get an offer, a coverage area and a landing page that supports the advertised work. We remove search terms that concern services you do not provide.

4

Check performance daily, then weekly

During the first 30 days, we review campaigns daily and adjust bids and search terms; after that, reviews continue weekly. Changes follow lead cost and your capacity.

What every Google Ads account includes

The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.

FAQ

Before funding an Atlanta paid search campaign

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How do you decide the monthly PPC fee?

The fee depends on ad spend, the channels managed and landing page work. Management starts from $500 a month, plus ad spend. We review the account and proposed scope before quoting, so the agency fee and the money paid to advertising platforms are clear.

What budget makes sense for my trade?

The starting budget needs to cover a test of the services you want to sell at their expected click costs. We compare that with your job revenue, available capacity and the site’s ability to generate contacts. There is no fixed lead price; tracked results guide later spending.

How quickly can a paid campaign bring a lead?

Initial results typically arrive within the first week of campaigns running. The first leads help us examine search terms, landing pages and call handling. We keep reviewing the account as it gathers data, but neither a particular lead total nor a cost per booked job is guaranteed.

Can you run campaigns on platforms besides Google?

Lithium also manages Microsoft Ads and Meta ads, including Facebook and Instagram. We select a channel for the audience and service being promoted, then measure the response. A wider platform list is worthwhile only when the budget and booking results support it.

What happens after the first PPC agreement term?

After the usual six-month initial term, service continues month to month with 30 days’ notice. Your proposal records the fee and work covered. Reviews include campaign performance and your booking feedback, so the decision to continue spending has a basis in the contacts reaching your team.
