Two customers in one city
What a Burbank marketing plan has to cover
A Burbank service business can end up with one vendor for the site, another for search and ads, and a phone nobody tracks. Lithium Marketing puts the site, the search work, the ads and the phone under one plan, with one report for what comes back. About 150,000 people work in Burbank each day, more than live in the city, so a plumber, a landscaper or an electrician here serves offices and studios as well as households.
That mix changes the plan. A business that answers calls from property managers, studios and homeowners needs one phone line, one set of service pages and one report. The AI receptionist asks who owns the property, so the crew knows which kind of job it is taking before it drives out.

What Burbank searches
The searches Burbank customers make before they call
Searches for a marketing partner in Burbank are thin next to the trade searches your customers use: about 10 a month for “digital marketing agency burbank” and about 10 for “marketing agency burbank”. The searches that bring you work name your trade, so the plan starts there.
About 50 searches a month use “seo company burbank”, and about 320 use “web design burbank”. Someone shopping for either service should land on a page that describes the same offer the ad or profile promised.

The Burbank market
Older homes, more renters and a daytime crowd
Burbank has 46,243 housing units, and 43.3% of the occupied homes are owner-occupied, so many of the households your crews visit may be renters. A page for landlords and property managers covers the rental work, and a phone line that asks who owns the property sorts the rest.
The city’s population fell 4.0% between 2020 and 2025, so new construction is not the source of work here; the homes and businesses already in the city are. 71.5% of Burbank’s homes were built before 1980, so repair and replacement pages carry more weight than a page about the company. Burbank’s median home value is $1,089,100, so the work on those houses is worth photographing and writing up.

Trades in Los Angeles County
A crowded county, and what it means for your plan
Los Angeles County has 3,775 residential remodelers, 2,765 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors and 2,286 electrical contractors. With that many names in one county, a Burbank business has to look different before the first click: reviews, photos and a first screen that names the work.
The plan follows that. Your finished work and your reviews lead the page and the profile, the AI receptionist picks up the calls the other services bring in, and the monthly report counts what came back.

The order of work
What happens after the first video call
Count first, then fix the site, then add search and ads, then answer the phone.
1
Measure what you have now
Call and form tracking go in first, on the site, the profile and any ads already running, so the first month of work has a baseline to beat.
2
Make the site easy to call
If a page is slow on a phone or hides the call button, we fix or rebuild it before any ad spend, because both channels send customers there.
3
Write pages, then fund the ads
SEO writes a page for each service you want more of, and Google Ads puts the budget behind whichever trade needs work first.
4
Answer the phone without a hire
The AI receptionist picks up each call, books the job and texts the caller, and custom automation takes over follow-up once the volume justifies it.
Client work
Website, search and ads for a garden center
Lithium built a new site for Drake’s 7 Dees, a garden center, ran the SEO and managed the Google Ads. The figures below come from that work. Kevin Atiyeh of Atiyeh Bros, a carpet and rug business, is quoted on the page.

Where else Burbank businesses work
Glendale, Pasadena, Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, Inglewood and Santa Clarita each have their own page for this work, and the California page lists every city we cover. If your crews cross a city line for a job, those pages show the searches and the housing on the other side.

FAQ
What Burbank owners ask before one plan
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Can we start with one service and add the rest later?
Start where the gap is. If calls are the problem, take Google Ads or the AI receptionist first; if the site loses people on a phone, take the build. Nothing ties you to the other three, and you can add a service in a later month once the calls from the first one are counted.
How long does the first agreement run?
Six months for the first term, then month to month. Either side can end it after that with 30 days’ notice, so from then on it is a decision you make each month. The AI receptionist is the exception: no contract, cancel anytime.
Who works on our account, and where are they?
Lithium Marketing is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. A co-founder runs the strategy calls, and an account manager handles the day-to-day questions.
What makes the monthly cost move?
How many services you run, how much work your trade needs across Los Angeles County, and how much ad spend sits behind Google Ads. SEO runs $1,300–$3,000 a month, ad management starts at $500 a month plus ad spend, and the AI receptionist is $179 a month with no contract and no setup fee.
What do you need from us before the plan is written?
A link to your site, the services you want more of and the cities your crews work in. If you track calls today, bring the last month of numbers; if you do not, we set up tracking before the first campaign. The plan comes back on a video call with the first three fixes named.
