PPC in Coeur d'Alene

What a Coeur d'Alene click costs before you bid

Google Ads for a Coeur d'Alene service business start with the click price, and Lithium Marketing runs the account around that number. A click on 'roofing company coeur d'alene' averages $58.70, so the account has to know which clicks turn into calls before it buys more.

A plumbing click in Coeur d'Alene averages $22.59, and an electrical click in the city averages $36.29. At those prices, the budget has to follow the work your crews can take: a busy month gets more spend, a slow one less, and each service has its own landing page so the click lands on the job it promised.

The Coeur d'Alene market

Budget for the work your city has

Kootenai County has 191,864 residents, and pre-1980 homes make up 30% of its housing. Another 22.7% came after 2010. If your services split between repair work on older houses and remodel work on newer ones, give each its own campaign and landing page, so the budget and the ad copy can match the job.

The city is located on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene, and the resort and waterfront sit in the downtown core. If you want visitor work as well as local work, run it as its own campaign with its own budget and landing page.

Trades in Kootenai County

What the county's trade mix means for a budget

Kootenai County has 30 roofing contractors, 122 landscaping services and 52 painting contractors. Each trade's budget should start from its own click price, not from a budget copied off another trade.

A painter's estimate call and a roofer's repair call need different landing pages. Neither should copy the other's budget.

Your first month

How the Coeur d'Alene account gets set up

Tracking goes in before the budget moves, and the account stays in your name.

1

Open the account in your name

The Google Ads account belongs to your business, with Lithium added to run it, so the history and the billing stay with you if the work ends.

2

Wire the calls and forms

GA4, call tracking and conversion tags go on the site, so the report can show calls, leads and cost per lead by campaign.

3

Build one campaign per service

Roof repair, drain cleaning or whatever you want more of gets its own page, with the phone number and quote form at the top.

4

Watch daily, then weekly

The first 30 days get daily bid and search-term checks; after that the checks move to weekly, with the budget you set as the guardrail.

What every Google Ads account includes

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

FAQ

Coeur d'Alene questions about paid search

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How much should a Coeur d'Alene business spend on ads?

The budget has to cover the clicks your trade needs to produce a call, and that number starts with the click cost. A roofer needs a different starting budget than a landscaper. We set the first budget with you, then adjust it once tracking shows what calls and leads cost.

When do the first calls arrive?

The first calls usually come in the opening week, once tracking is live. From there, the work is subtraction: remove the search terms that never produce a call, put the budget behind the ones that do, and watch cost per lead as the account collects data.

Who owns the Google Ads account?

Your business does. The account is opened in your name, and Lithium gets access to manage it. The billing, the conversion history and the account itself stay with you, whether or not you keep working with us.

Do you manage ads off Google?

Microsoft Ads and Meta are available, but neither is automatic. We add a second channel when your customers already use it, or when a Google click in your trade costs more than the work can carry. The first channel stays Google until the tracking shows a reason to branch out.

What does the management fee cover?

Management starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend. The fee covers the account work, the landing pages and the reporting, while the ad spend itself goes to Google. The ad spend you run affects the management fee, along with the number of channels and the landing page work. We settle the number with you before the first campaign.
