Start here

What a College Station plan has to fix first

Lithium Marketing runs the website, the search, the ads and the phone answering as one account for College Station service businesses. Brazos County holds 4,972 establishments across all industries, and a business buying those four from four vendors ends up with four reports that do not add up. In one account those services share a report, so a call that starts in a search, a listing or an ad lands in the same report as the job it became.

The city still carries the shape the university gave it. College Station owes its name and existence to the university's location along a railroad, and Texas A&M University is the largest employer in the metro area, with almost 21,000 employees on the main campus. A plan here has to speak to university households, to the trades working the new housing and to the businesses around campus.

The College Station market

New housing and a metro that is not one city

College Station added 5.8% to its population between 2020 and 2025, and 27.9% of its housing was built in 2010 or later. If your work is in that newer housing, the customer may have no established name in mind, so a page that explains how a job starts can matter more than a logo they have not seen.

The metro is bigger than the city. The College Station-Bryan metro area holds 287,476 people, and Bryan is its own city with its own customers and its own searches. Set the service area and the ad targets by city, and name which side of the line each call came from, so a plan that covers both does not blur them into one market.

Trades in Brazos County

Which trades are here, and what each one sells first

Brazos County has 85 new home builders and 81 landscaping companies at the top of its trade chart, with 69 residential remodelers behind them. A builder or a landscaper sells a project, so the website carries the galleries and the quote step. The county also lists 82 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, and a plumbing or HVAC company sells a response, so the profile, the reviews and the phone carry the call.

The rest of the list splits the same way. Brazos County has 42 electrical contractors and 19 roofing contractors, and both sell a planned project one week and an emergency the next. A plan has to hold both offers, because the customer calling about a leak is not the customer planning a replacement.

The order of work

How the four services get ordered for a College Station business

The order depends on what the business already has, and a co-founder settles it on the first call.

1

Read what already works

A co-founder reviews the site, the Google profile and any live campaign together, so the first decision rests on which one is already producing calls.

2

Put tracking on every call

Call and form tracking go on the site, the profile and the campaign, so the next report names the source of each call and what it turned into.

3

Build the pages the trades search for

The SEO plan adds a page for each service worth selling, while Google Ads covers the jobs that cannot wait for a page to gain ground.

4

Handle the calls that follow

The AI receptionist picks up every call under your rules, books what it can and transfers the rest, and custom automation handles the follow-up.

Proof

A Portland glass company's website, search and ads

Lithium rebuilt the website for Town & Country Glass, ran its SEO and managed its Google Ads. The client is a commercial glass company in Portland, and the card shows what that work produced. The quote beside it comes from Atiyeh Bros owner Kevin Atiyeh, a carpet and rug business.

FAQ

Before you hire a marketing agency in College Station

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Where should a College Station owner spend the first marketing dollar?

Whichever one is losing calls today. A site that is hard to use on a phone loses the visitor before the offer; a thin Google profile loses the search; an untracked ad budget loses the money; a line that rings out loses the job. On the first call a co-founder reads all four and names the first fix, then the order behind it.

Can we start with one service and add the others later?

Most accounts do start with one service. The call tracking installed with it covers anything added later, so a site, an SEO retainer or a campaign gets measured on the same calls. Nothing in the agreement requires all four.

How does a business in College Station work with a Portland team?

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. Strategy calls run with a co-founder, the account manager handles day-to-day questions, and the domain, hosting and site stay in your name.

What does all of it cost each month?

Each service is priced on its own, so the total depends on how many you run. The price band above prints what each one costs, and custom AI automation comes back as a quote after a free call. A business can start with one line and add a second once the first shows calls.

What should we have ready for the first call?

Your website address, the services that pay best, the cities and neighborhoods your crews cover, and access to your Google profile. If ads are running, the account and its call history help. A co-founder reads all of it before the video call, so the conversation starts from your numbers.
