SEO, answered

Where a College Station search begins

A search for a trade in College Station often ends at a map. When we checked 'plumber college station', the Map Pack sat above everything else on the page, and its three listings carried 240, 741 and 381 reviews. Lithium Marketing builds the profile, the service pages and the review requests behind that map, then reports the calls they produce.

College Station covers 51.16 square miles and sits 83 miles northwest of Houston and 87 miles east-northeast of Austin, so a search that names the city is usually a local one. Bryan is a separate city with its own searches and its own listings, and a page that names both without saying which is which leaves Google to work it out.

The College Station market

Districts, housing and the pages they need

College Station's density runs about 2,492 people per square mile. Within that, the districts are not interchangeable: Northgate is a mixed-use district north of the university, with restaurants, apartments and churches in it, and Wellborn became the Wellborn district when the city annexed it in 2011. A page that names those places gives a customer a way to check if you cover their street.

Where the housing is newer, the pages change. 27.9% of College Station homes went up in 2010 or later, and 18.1% predate 1980. A company that works on the older stock needs a page about repairs on a house built before 1980, and a company that works on the newer stock needs one about finishes, fencing and landscaping. Write both and let the searcher pick the one that sounds like their house.

Trades in Brazos County

What the county's trade counts change about the pages

Brazos County lists 42 electrical contractors and 19 roofing contractors. The work splits in two for both: a repair call and a project quote, and the two searchers arrive with different questions. A roofer needs a page for a leak that is happening now and another for a replacement that can be planned, because one search wants a phone number and the other wants a photograph of a finished roof.

A septic tank service and a carpet cleaner sell different jobs, and each still needs a page for the search that names it. Brazos County counts 5 septic tank services and 6 carpet and upholstery cleaners. A septic page that answers 'how often' and 'how much' before it asks for a form does more than a page of company history.

The SEO plan

What a College Station retainer covers each month

A co-founder reads Search Console, the profile and the call history before a page is written, because the first month goes to fixing what Google cannot read.

1

Start from the search report

Search Console, the Google profile and the call history show which pages already earn impressions and which searches never reach the site.

2

Rebuild the profile first

We set the categories, services, hours and service area so the map listing matches the work the crews take.

3

Publish a page for each service

A page per service, each with finished photos and a single next step.

4

Add the citations and local links

We build the directory listings, citations and local links that point at the pages already bringing calls.

What every SEO retainer includes

The same eight parts go into every SEO retainer, wherever the business is.

FAQ

What to ask before a retainer starts

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What moves the monthly retainer up or down?

The work behind the pages and the profile sets it. A company with three services and a tidy profile sits at the bottom of the range. One with eight services, a thin site and a profile missing half its categories needs more writing, more listings and more profile work each month. A high-value booked job can justify the higher end.

What timeline should we expect?

Technical fixes usually move within 30 days, and local and long-tail rankings typically take 60 to 90 days; revenue compounds from month four. The report counts calls from week one, so the direction shows before the positions do.

Does the retainer lock us in?

Six months first, then month to month. Local rankings take time to build, which is why the first term is fixed. Once it ends, 30 days' notice is enough to stop.

How does the Map Pack get decided?

Google decides that, and Lithium will not pretend otherwise. The work we control is the profile, the pages, the listings, the reviews we ask for and the links we build, and all of it is reported back to you. The monthly report shows the positions you hold and the calls that followed them.

Who writes the pages and the profile updates?

Lithium does, from a kickoff call and your own job photos. You review the pages before they publish, and the profile changes get listed in the monthly report, so nothing appears on your listing that you have not seen.
