Four services under one Concord plan

A Concord service business does not need four vendors and four sets of numbers. Lithium Marketing runs the website, the search pages, Google Ads and an AI receptionist on one plan, so a call from a search and a call from an ad land in the same monthly report. Contra Costa County has 721 residential remodelers and 355 landscaping services, and with that many companies selling to the same homeowners, the phone line matters as much as the search result.

Concord counted 125,402 residents in 2020 and 123,261 in 2025. The city is not adding people, so repeat work from customers already here carries more weight, and the plan keeps the same service list, number and reviews in front of them. That means a site and a profile that answer the question before the call, ads that reach the people searching now and a receptionist that answers every call, including the ones that arrive after the crew has left.

The Concord market

A settled city with a commercial core

Concord covers 30.5 square miles and sits 29 miles east of San Francisco. It has been a bedroom community for San Francisco and Oakland for decades, and its retail core, with Sunvalley Shopping Center and the restaurants around Todos Santos Plaza, gives local businesses a commercial base too.

That mix shapes the plan. If most of your customers commute, the website and the Google profile have to answer questions and take a request without a phone call. A business that also serves shops and restaurants around the plaza needs a second set of pages for commercial work, because the buyer and the questions are different.

The county’s trades

Who you compete with across Contra Costa County

Contra Costa County has 721 residential remodelers, 355 landscaping services and 324 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. Those three groups show how different the sales conversation is from one trade to the next.

In Contra Costa County, electrical contractors number 310, home builders 231 and painting contractors 180. A remodeler or builder sells a project that takes months, so the plan leans on project pages and photos; a plumber or electrician sells a visit that day, so the plan leans on the profile, the service pages and a phone that gets answered.

How the work starts

The order a Concord plan runs in

Tracking comes first, because every later choice depends on knowing which service produced the call.

1

Put a number on each source

Every call gets a tracking number and every form gets a source before the first report, so the opening month can show which channel produced which Concord job.

2

Fix the page the ads point to

If the site is slow on a phone or hides the call button, it gets rebuilt before more traffic is sent to it.

3

Build the trade pages next

SEO adds a page for each service and each nearby city you cover, while Google Ads buys the searches you need to win sooner.

4

Answer what the first three produce

The AI receptionist takes the calls that arrive after hours and passes urgent ones to your team, and custom automation, scoped on its own, handles follow-up.

Proof from a combined engagement

A glass company’s website, search and ads

The most complete published example is Town & Country Glass, a Portland commercial glass company that bought a website, SEO and Google Ads from Lithium, and the numbers on the card come from those three services. Chris Martin of Mt. Hood Pro Painting is quoted beside it.

FAQ

What Concord owners want to know first

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

We already have a site and some ads. What should we add?

Look at what the current work produces before buying anything else. If calls run to voicemail while the crew is out, reception comes first. If the site gets visits but few calls, the site comes first. If neither the site nor the profile shows up for the services you sell, search comes first. A co-founder reads all three on the first call and names one starting point.

Can the plan start with one service?

It can. Most businesses begin with the piece that is losing work, then add the next when the numbers support it. Tracking is shared from the start, so a second service shows up in the same report as the first, and you can see whether it earned its place.

How does Lithium work with a Concord business from Portland?

Video calls, phone and email. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. Your day-to-day contact is Allison McKenney, our account manager, and your first call is with a co-founder.

What contract does a Concord plan come with?

It starts with six months, then runs month to month with 30 days’ notice. That first term gives SEO and the site time to show movement, and after that either side can end it. The AI receptionist is different: no contract at all.

Does the plan work for commercial work as well as homes?

Yes. A business that serves shops, restaurants or offices around downtown gets pages for that work, separate from the homeowner pages, because the buyer and the questions are different. The same tracking then shows which side of the business is producing calls.
