Burbank click costs

What a Burbank click costs, before you bid

HVAC repair is the cheap end of the Burbank click table: “hvac repair burbank” averages $4.36 a click on about 30 searches a month, while “roofing company burbank” averages $40.55 on about 390. That spread is why Lithium Marketing sets a Burbank ads budget by trade. We measure the work in calls, leads and cost per lead.

“Plumber burbank” draws about 1,300 searches a month at an average click cost of $33.93. At that price, the first job is deciding which clicks lead to jobs that pay for themselves, and which trade gets a landing page before the others.

The Burbank market

Hot weeks, wet weeks and a budget that moves

Burbank has hot summers and mild winters. If your calls bunch into a hot week or a wet one, a flat monthly budget buys clicks in the quiet weeks and runs out in the busy ones.

Rain averages a little over 17 inches a year in Burbank, and it swings hard from one year to the next. If a wet winter brings roof and water damage calls, the budget can follow those months, with a lower spend in the dry ones.

Trades in Los Angeles County

Where the county’s trade counts meet the click prices

Los Angeles County has 487 roofing contractors and 435 pest control companies. Both sit near the top of the Burbank click prices above, so either trade needs a landing page that answers the call before the budget goes up.

Landscaping is the other end. There are 1,300 landscaping companies in Los Angeles County, and “landscaping burbank” averages $4.78 a click on about 50 searches a month. That is a cheap test for a landscaper who wants to see what a paid lead costs before committing a bigger budget.

Your first month

The first month of a Burbank campaign

The conversion tags go in first, because a campaign you cannot measure is a guess.

1

Read the account you have

If an account is already running, we read the last few months of search terms and the conversion data before changing anything.

2

Put tracking on calls and forms

Call tracking, GA4 and conversion tags go on before the first new campaign, so the monthly report can show calls, leads and cost per lead.

3

Split the campaigns by job

Each job type gets a campaign and a landing page that matches the ad, so a roofing click never lands on a page about drains.

4

Work the bids daily at first

The first 30 days get daily attention on bids and search terms. After that we review the account weekly, with a report on calls, leads and cost per lead.

What every Google Ads account includes

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

A garden center case: ads, website and SEO

Drake’s 7 Dees, the garden center on the card, hired Lithium for Google Ads, a website and SEO, so the conversions and leads on the card came from that full program, not the ads alone. Kevin Atiyeh at Atiyeh Bros supplies the quote.

FAQ

Google Ads questions from Burbank owners

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How much of a budget does Google Ads need in Burbank?

A budget should cover the calls your booked jobs can pay for. A roofing click and a landscaping click in Burbank are not priced alike, so the same monthly spend buys a very different number of calls. We set the starting figure around your job value and adjust once the report shows cost per lead.

What does the management fee cover?

From $500 a month in management, plus ad spend, and the fee scales with the spend, the channels we run and the landing page work. It covers the account build, the landing pages, the tracking, the tuning and the monthly report in calls, leads and cost per lead. The account stays in your name.

When do the first calls come in?

Usually inside the first week, once the campaigns have tracking behind them. The first 30 days get daily work on bids and search terms; after that we review the account weekly.

How will I know whether Google Ads is working?

The monthly report shows calls, leads and cost per lead for each campaign, and those are the numbers to manage from. If you tell us which leads turned into booked jobs, the next month’s budget can favor the campaigns that produced them.

Do you advertise anywhere besides Google?

Only when the numbers say a second channel is worth it. Microsoft Ads and Meta ads can join the plan when they reach the customers you want, or when Google clicks for your trade climb past what a booked job can pay. Google comes first, and a second channel waits until the report shows it pays.
