Concord SEO, answered

What earns the call in Concord search results

“plumber concord ca” draws 720 searches a month, and when we checked that results page, four paid ads sat above the local listings. Lithium Marketing builds the pages and the profile that Google reads when it chooses the unpaid results and the local list, so the work outlasts the ad budget.

The agency searches are small by comparison. “seo concord ca” draws about 10 searches a month, so this work is not built around people shopping for an SEO company. It is built around the trades your customers search by name, from drain cleaning to panel upgrades.

Housing and repair searches

Why older Concord homes point to repair and replacement pages

Concord’s median home was built in 1970, and 73.9% of the city’s homes went up before 1980. Houses that old are where repair and replacement work concentrates, so the pages worth building are the ones a homeowner searches when a water heater, a roof or an electrical panel fails.

Concord covers 30.5 square miles, and the local results a searcher sees near Clayton Road are not the same as the ones near Ygnacio Valley Road. Pages that name the parts of the city you serve give Google a clearer match for a search from that side of town, and they tell the customer you work that side of town.

The trades around you

Where the county’s contractors are concentrated

Roofing in Contra Costa County numbers 86 contractors, and painting adds 180. Plumbing and air-conditioning is the crowded field: 324 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors work in the same county, so a single list of services gives Google less to match than a page for each job.

A roofer who builds one page for repairs and another for replacements can cover the searches that pay, and a painter uses before-and-after pages to answer the question a homeowner asks first: what the work will look like when it is done.

The SEO work

The four jobs in a Concord retainer

Each month has a job to finish, and the report says which one moved the calls.

1

Audit what Google already has

We read the profile, the site and the pages that rank now, then list the services and cities where the business is missing.

2

Rewrite the Google Business Profile

Categories, services, hours and service area get filled in, and every finished job gets a review request you can send.

3

Publish the service and city pages

Each trade gets a page built around the job, and each nearby city you work gets its own version with local proof.

4

Earn links and track the calls

Links go to the pages that bring work, and call tracking puts each call next to the keyword that brought it, so the report shows where the calls came from.

What every SEO retainer includes

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

Proof from a client

A restoration company’s website and SEO

Robinson Restoration is the restoration company on the card. Lithium built its website and ran its SEO, and the result shown comes from that pair of services. Drake Snodgrass, who runs the garden center Drake’s 7 Dees, gives the quote beside it.

FAQ

Concord SEO questions, answered plainly

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How long does SEO take to move a Concord business?

The first month usually shows movement on technical fixes. Local and long-tail rankings need closer to 60 or 90 days, and revenue tends to compound from month four. Calls and leads are in the report from day one, so you can see whether the work is landing before the rankings settle.

What does the monthly fee include?

$1,300 to $3,000 a month is the range. The number is set by the services you sell, the cities you cover, the condition of the site and what a booked job is worth to you, and the scope is in writing before anything starts.

Can we keep our current website and still hire SEO?

Yes, often. If the site loads quickly on a phone and the pages are easy to edit, we work with it. If it hides the call button or cannot be updated, the site becomes the first fix, and the SEO work starts on a better foundation.

Who decides where we rank in the map?

Google sets the order, so no agency can promise a place in the map. Lithium works the inputs: correct profile categories, a page for each service, listings that agree and an easy way for customers to leave a review. The report tracks movement and the calls that followed.

What do you need from us each month?

Access to the site and the Google profile, a quick review of new pages, and a note from whoever answers the phone about which calls turned into work. That last piece is what tells us which pages to build next.
