Spend on the next problem to solve

Digital marketing for Boise starts with the jobs you want

Lithium Marketing helps Boise service businesses choose and run the website, SEO, advertising and phone systems that bring in customers and turn requests into appointments. Boise has 106,279 housing units. Reaching that market starts with a narrower question: which jobs can your business take on, and what stops those customers from hiring you?

A busy contractor may need better estimate requests, while a business with open capacity needs more people to find it. We look at your search visibility, website and call handling before recommending a purchase. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video.

City and county require different plans

Selling into Boise’s established homes and newer developments

Homes built in 2010 or later account for 13.1% of Boise’s housing stock. Across Ada County, that share is 24.8%. If you handle both work on existing homes and new construction, show those services separately. A repair customer should not have to read a builder’s project description to find out how to book a visit.

West Boise borders Meridian. A business working across that boundary should make its coverage explicit in its pages and ads, then give callers the same answer about where it travels. Expand the plan only into towns your crews can serve at a price that leaves enough after labor and materials.

Give buyers a reason to choose

A trade name is only the beginning of your offer

Residential remodeling accounts for 294 establishments in Ada County. For an owner selling that work, a general promise of quality leaves too much unanswered. Explain the projects you take, show your own work and tell a homeowner what to prepare for an estimate. Those details belong on the website before you pay to send more people there.

Painting contractors number 127 in Ada County. If you paint both interiors and exteriors, the services need different photos and preparation advice. For any trade, the marketing plan should help customers recognize the job you do well, not make them work through a long list of everything a contractor might offer.

Decisions before purchases

Build a Boise plan your schedule can support

The proposal connects the work you want to sell with the changes needed to bring it in.

1

Put the desired jobs on the table

Tell us where you have capacity and which services leave enough after your costs. We use that to choose what the marketing should promote.

2

Follow a customer through your business

We check how a search leads to your site, a call and an appointment. Missing tracking, confusing pages and unanswered questions become specific tasks.

3

Agree on the first investment

Your proposal names the service, its scope and its price. Website work, SEO, paid campaigns and reception can be bought separately as the business needs them.

4

Use booking feedback to choose what follows

Reports show recorded calls and leads; you tell us which became work. That discussion guides the next changes to campaigns, content or call handling.

Work for other service businesses

Commercial glass results and an owner’s recommendation

For Town & Country Glass in Portland, the engagement included website development as well as SEO and Google Ads. Its case study shows the results of that work. Matt Johnson’s recommendation comes from his time running On-Target Landscape.

Pricing

Choose services with the costs in front of you

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

typical project

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

Fully managed. No contracts, cancel anytime. Live in days.

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

Deciding what Boise marketing should do next

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Can you help me choose between more leads and better leads?

Your capacity and booking history decide which problem to tackle first. If the phone rings but callers want services you do not offer, we examine the ads and pages bringing them in. If qualified calls are scarce, search visibility and paid campaigns need attention. Bring examples of both good jobs and calls you could not help.

What should go into my total marketing budget?

Include the selected services, separate advertising spend and the time your team needs to turn requests into appointments. A website is a project expense; SEO and ad management are ongoing work. We price the scope before you decide and compare it with what a typical booked job earns after labor, materials and other delivery costs.

Who will I work with after the strategy call?

Allison McKenney is your account manager for day-to-day questions, and a co-founder leads strategy. Share changes to your services, availability or coverage with the team so the marketing stays accurate. Video calls let us review the website, reports and planned work together while you can see the same information.

How much commitment does a marketing plan require?

The usual service agreement begins with six months and continues month to month after that, with 30 days’ notice. The AI receptionist has no contract. Your proposal spells out the services you are buying, so you can distinguish a website project from ongoing marketing and separately scoped automation.

Does this approach work for a small home service company?

A small company can start with the service that fits its capacity and budget. The planning call covers your work, the area you serve and who handles incoming requests. For a plumber, roofer or landscaper, the goal is a manageable supply of opportunities for jobs the business can deliver, with spending you can review.
