Start with the work you want
What one Cedar Rapids marketing plan covers
A Cedar Rapids service business can hand the website, the search work, the Google Ads and the phone answering to Lithium Marketing, on one plan with published prices. Searches naming Cedar Rapids for marketing help total 130 a month. About 90 searches a month name “digital marketing cedar rapids”, a small number next to the trade searches your customers type, so the plan starts with the jobs you sell and builds the four services around them.
The Cedar Rapids metro area holds 279,285 people, and a business that also takes jobs in Iowa City or Davenport should give each of those places its own page. Name the town on that page, with a photo of work nearby and a phone number that answers.
The four services
How the four services divide the work in Cedar Rapids
Each one can run on its own. They share the same call tracking, so a second service added later is measured the same way as the first.

Search in Cedar Rapids
What Cedar Rapids searches say about the plan
The trade searches carry the demand: 1,000 a month for “plumber cedar rapids”. Searches for a new site are a smaller pool, 280 a month naming Cedar Rapids for web design, so the plan puts the trade pages first and the site work behind them.
Review counts on the three plumber listings in Cedar Rapids run from 208 to 1,900. The plan includes a Google profile that answers the same questions your site does, because those counts sit beside each listing.

The Cedar Rapids market
Owners, renters and the pages they need
Owners live in 68.5% of the occupied homes in Cedar Rapids, and the city holds 64,423 housing units. The other occupied homes are rentals, so a plumber or landscaper who takes landlord work should say so on the site and let the phone line ask who approves the repair.
Most of that housing is older: 59.2% of Cedar Rapids homes went up before 1980. Repair and replacement work belongs on its own pages, with photos of finished jobs, so a customer in an older house can see that you have worked on homes like theirs.

Trades in Linn County
The Linn County trades the plan has to fit
Landscaping, remodeling and the plumbing, heating and air-conditioning trades are the county’s three largest groups: 80 landscaping companies, 74 residential remodelers and 69 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors in Linn County. Those counts shape the site. With that many landscapers in one county, a gallery of finished yards and a set of recent reviews give a customer a reason to pick you.
The plan uses those counts to decide where a page is worth building. Painting, with 24 contractors in Linn County, is a good example: one page for interior work and one for exteriors show a homeowner the job they want, and the gallery does the selling.

The order of work
How a Cedar Rapids plan gets built
The first month tells us where calls come from now, and that decides which service goes first.
1
Put tracking on what you already have
Calls and forms get tagged on the site, the Google profile and any ads you run, so a month later the report can name the search behind each job.
2
Fix the piece that loses calls
A slow site gets rebuilt, an unanswered phone gets the receptionist, and a site nobody finds gets SEO or Google Ads.
3
Build the pages the searches need
Every service you want more of gets its own page, and so does each part of Cedar Rapids where you take jobs.
4
Report in calls and booked jobs
The monthly report counts calls and forms by source and, where you mark them, the jobs they turned into.
A fence company’s numbers
What a new site, SEO and Google Ads did for F&W Fence Co.
F&W Fence Co. is a fence company, and Lithium handled its new website, its SEO and its Google Ads. The case card holds the numbers from that work. Nathan Boos of Hillsview Building, a construction company, gives his own view of the team and of what a website and SEO program should deliver.
Fence“A lot of options out there for websites and SEO. I’ve worked with this team for years now and would highly recommend them. They know their stuff and deliver results. More importantly to me- they care about service and follow through on what they say they will do. Easy to work with and communicate with. Thank you!”

FAQ
Questions Cedar Rapids owners ask about one plan
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What goes into one Cedar Rapids marketing plan?
A website, local SEO, Google Ads and phone answering, each priced on its own and run by one team. You start with the piece the tracking shows is losing calls, then add another when the numbers support the cost.
Can one plan cover repair calls and big projects?
With different pages and different phone rules, yes. A repair call wants the number at the top of the page and a receptionist that can send an urgent job to the on-call tech; a remodel wants photos, scope and an estimate form. Both can sit on one site and one phone line.
How do you decide what to fix first?
We look at the tracking, the site and the Google profile together, then pick the change most likely to move calls first. A slow site with traffic gets fixed first; a fast site that nobody finds gets SEO or Google Ads.
Do the four services share one contract?
There is one service agreement for the work you buy, and most of it runs month to month after the first six months. The AI receptionist has no contract at all. The written agreement lists the services and the 30 days’ notice.
How does a Cedar Rapids business work with Lithium day to day?
By video, phone and email. Lithium 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 your account manager handles the day-to-day questions.
