Start with the gap that costs you jobs

What a Bellevue marketing plan should cover

King County lists 1,651 residential remodelers, the largest trade group on the county chart, so a Bellevue remodeler needs a site that says what it does that the next remodeler does not. Lithium Marketing builds that case across a website, SEO, Google Ads and AI phone answering, then reports the calls the work produces.

The four services fit together, and the order matters. The website holds the offer, SEO earns the searches, Google Ads buys the searches you cannot wait for, and the AI receptionist answers every call the other three produce. A business that buys only the ads often finds out the site was the weak link; one that buys only the site wonders why the phone stays quiet.

The Bellevue market

Two kinds of customer, one city

Bellevue covers 33.476 square miles of land, from Bridle Trails to Cougar Mountain in the south, and the neighborhoods do not search the same way. A customer in Crossroads or Somerset should see a company that works in their part of the city, so the site needs pages for the services you sell and the areas you cover. That is how one Bellevue business shows up across the city.

The commercial side is real. Downtown Bellevue holds 45,000 employees, and four major shopping centers sit across the city, so property managers and business owners hire plumbers, electricians and painters too. Separate commercial pages from residential ones, because the buyer for a tenant build-out is not the buyer for a water heater.

Trades in King County

Where the county's largest trades compete

Beyond remodelers, King County lists 874 new home builders, 843 landscaping companies and 531 painting contractors. Those four groups sell four different things: a remodel, a new house, a season of yard work and a set of rooms. Each one needs its own first screen, its own photos and its own estimate form.

The phone trades are different again. In King County, electrical contractors number 477 and plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors 468. Excavation and site preparation (234) and roofing (206) round out the King County chart; both sell planned projects, so scope, photos and a clear next step carry more weight than an emergency banner.

The order of work

What we do first, and what waits

Measure first, fix the page that takes the call, then add search and ads where the numbers justify them.

1

Track what happens now

We put call and form tracking on the site, the Google profile and any live ads, so the report can show which channel produced each Bellevue job.

2

Repair the page customers land on

A slow phone page loses the customer before SEO or Ads can help, so load time, the call button and the form get fixed first.

3

Add the search work that fits

SEO takes the services and nearby cities where searches are steady. Google Ads covers the work that cannot wait for a page to climb.

4

Cover the phone

Once calls come in, the AI receptionist answers each one, books what fits the calendar you connect and sends the rest to your team.

Proof

Website, SEO and Google Ads for a Mississippi Gulf Coast glass company

Lithium built the website, ran the SEO and managed the Google Ads for Dixie Glass, a glass business that has served the Mississippi Gulf Coast since 1946. The card's numbers come from that combined work, so no single service can claim them. Dave Turin of Dozer Dave, an excavation company, adds the recommendation.

Around Bellevue

Pages for the cities your crews already reach

Redmond, Kirkland, Renton, Seattle, Kent and Auburn each have their own marketing page with that city's figures, and the Washington page lists every city Lithium covers. If your trucks cross the lake or work the south county, give each city its own page. One line in a service-area list does not carry a city's searches.

Pricing

What each Bellevue service costs

Lithium publishes a typical price for four of its five services, and AI automation is quoted after a free discovery call. Your proposal depends on scope, competition and ad spend.

Conversion web design

$5,000

Larger sites with more pages or integrations get a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call. Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch.

SEO

$1,300–$3,000

per month

Typical local SEO retainer, scoped against your revenue per lead.

Google Ads management

From $500

per month

Plus ad spend. Typical: $500–$1,500 a month in management, plus ad spend of $2,000–$5,000 a month.

AI receptionist

$179

per month

AI automation

Scoped

after discovery

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

What Bellevue owners want to know

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Where should a Bellevue owner start?

Start with whichever gap costs you calls this month. If the phone rings out, the receptionist comes first. If the site fails on a phone, the rebuild comes first. If both work, the answer is search: SEO for the steady services and Google Ads for the work you need next month.

Can we hire Lithium for one service only?

Pick one service, run it for a few months and judge it on the calls it produced. You can add a second service later. The tracking is shared from the start, so the new work inherits the same measurement from day one.

What does working with Lithium look like week to week?

Most of the work happens on video calls, with email and phone in between. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, and every client works with us by video. For a Bellevue business, the strategy call, the page reviews and the reporting all run the same way. Allison McKenney answers the day-to-day questions; a co-founder runs the planning calls.

How does the price work when we add a service?

There is no bundle price. The website is a project, SEO is a monthly retainer, Google Ads is a management fee on top of ad spend, and the receptionist is a monthly service. The proposal lists each line separately so you can see what each one buys.

Do you work with property managers as well as homeowners?

Lithium works with home service businesses, and their customers include property managers and business owners as well as homeowners. A site can carry separate pages for commercial and residential work so each caller sees the jobs you take.
