Baton Rouge PPC, answered

How a Baton Rouge ad budget gets set

Lithium Marketing builds Baton Rouge Google Ads around cost per booking, not raw spend. One garage door search here costs about $30.68 a click, so every wasted click is real money, and each ad sends that click to a page built to convert it.

We set the budget from what a booked job is worth to you, then work backward to a target cost per lead. Some trades can spend more per click than others, and the numbers decide the plan, not a monthly figure that sounded good in a pitch.

The Baton Rouge market

How the market sets a Baton Rouge budget

East Baton Rouge Parish carries 456,180 residents and 12,542 business establishments. For a trade, that crowd is the whole addressable market, so the budget goes where searches turn into booked calls, not where clicks are cheapest.

The month matters too. A trade whose work is seasonal gets a budget that rises before the busy stretch and pulls back after it, checked weekly, so spend follows demand and never sits flat all year.

Trades in Baton Rouge

Per-click prices across Baton Rouge trades

Click prices swing widely by trade. A garage door click runs about $30.68 and a plumbing click about $17.81, while pest control averages $18.10 and roofing $20.32. The right trade for you depends on what a job is worth, not on which click is cheapest.

We size the daily budget to the trade. Electrical clicks average $18.05 and HVAC clicks about $15.73, so the target cost per lead is set for your trade and then tuned from the data each month.

The campaign

From account setup to a Baton Rouge launch

The account launches only once conversion tracking has been tested on a real call and a real form.

1

Agree what a lead is worth

We put a number on a booked job, then set the target cost per lead and the monthly budget from it before writing a single ad.

2

Build the account in your name

The Google Ads account is created under your login, with campaigns split by service and by town so each term gets its own ad.

3

Write ads and landing pages

Each high-intent search gets an ad and a matching page, with the phone number and form above the fold and conversion tracking from day one.

4

Review the numbers together

A co-founder walks the cost per lead and the booked calls with you every month, and the budget moves to whatever is working.

What every Google Ads account includes

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

Fence ads and the calls they brought

F&W Fence bought Google Ads, SEO and a rebuilt website from Lithium, and the keyword and conversion figures on the card come from the three sharing one plan. Marc Rickabaugh, who owns Rickabaugh Construction, speaks to the results in his own review beside the card.

FAQ

Before you approve a Baton Rouge budget

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

What does Google Ads management cost in Baton Rouge?

Management starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend. A typical account runs $500 to $1,500 a month in management, plus ad spend of $2,000 to $5,000 a month, and your proposal states both numbers before anything runs.

Do you build the landing pages too?

Yes, and they are part of the work. Each high-intent search gets a page written for it, with the phone number and form where a visitor sees them without scrolling, so the click does not land on a generic home page.

Which trades get the most out of Google Ads here?

It depends on job value more than click price. A $30.68 garage door click pays off when a job runs into the thousands, while cheap clicks in a low-value trade can still lose money. We look at your numbers, not a generic list.

Will the budget change month to month?

It can. If a stretch of the year brings more of your calls, the budget rises before it and pulls back after, and the monthly report shows what each change returned.

Who runs the account day to day?

An account manager tunes bids and search terms day to day, and a co-founder reviews the account with you each month. You keep the login the whole time, so the account and its history stay yours.
