What a Downey business gets when four services run as one plan
Downey has 108,468 residents in 35,919 housing units, down from the 114,354 counted in 2020. A city that is not adding residents makes the customers you already have matter more, so the plan starts with the calls you already get and builds from there.
Lithium Marketing runs the website, SEO, Google Ads and AI phone answering for Downey service businesses, so a customer who searches for a trade here can find your company, see the work and call. The four services share one budget and one report, and you start with whichever one is losing you the most work right now.

Four services, and the job each one does here
Four cards, four different jobs. Read the one that matches the gap you already know about, then decide whether a second service earns its place.

The local results
What a Downey customer sees first
When we checked the results for “plumber downey”, Google put the Map Pack at the top of the page, with three local listings carrying 571, 71 and 13 reviews. Facebook, Thumbtack and Yelp all ranked in the top 10 below it.
Google decides who sits in that pack. What a Downey business controls is its profile, its categories and its reviews, plus the pages on its own site, which is where the plan starts before any ad budget moves.

Downey in figures
Who owns the homes, and what that asks of the plan
Of Downey’s occupied homes, 51.1% are owner-occupied, so nearly half of those homes are rentals. Rental work means landlords, property managers and tenants asking about the same building, and a site that says plainly what you do for each answers the questions a homeowner-only page misses.
Los Angeles County holds 9,694,934 people and 304,988 establishments, and a contractor from anywhere in that county can bid on a Downey search. That is why the plan sets your service area by city and by the parts of it you cover, then builds pages that show you work there.

Who else is chasing the work
The county’s trade counts, and the room each one leaves
Los Angeles County has 3,775 residential remodelers and 2,765 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, so a Downey homeowner has plenty of names to choose from. In a field that crowded, finished jobs, reviews worth reading and an answered phone are what separate one name from the next.
Electrical contractors number 2,286 in the county, well behind the remodelers and plumbers. For an electrician, a page for each kind of job, from panel work to lighting, does more than one services list, because it matches the words the customer uses.

The order of the work
The first four moves on a Downey plan
Measure first. A budget is only as good as the call tracking underneath it, so the numbers come before the spend.
1
Measure what already works
Call and form tracking goes on the site, the Google profile and any live ads, so the account starts with a clear picture of where today’s jobs come from.
2
Fix the page that takes the money
The page that already sells your best work gets rebuilt first, because search and ads both spend money sending people there.
3
Add the pages your trades are missing
Service pages and a filled-out Google Business Profile go out together, with a page for each trade you want and matching categories and hours.
4
Put a receptionist on the line
Once calls are arriving, the AI answers them, books the job and texts the follow-up, with custom automation handling review requests.
A garden-center case
Drake’s 7 Dees: a website, SEO and Google Ads on one account
Drake’s 7 Dees runs a garden center, and Lithium built its website, ran its SEO and managed its Google Ads. The card reports what the three produced. Matt Johnson, from his time running On-Target Landscape, adds his own view of the work.
Garden center“Lithium Marketing is awesome to work with and the results you’ll get are outstanding. Once I started working with them I saw increase in my online presence and my sales increased too. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with marketing!”

FAQ
What Downey owners ask before they hire anyone
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What does it cost to run all four services?
Each line is quoted separately, so running all four means paying for the four you choose, not a bundle. Most owners start with the service that fixes the biggest gap and add the next when the calls justify it. Nothing in the plan requires you to buy the whole set at once.
How long before the plan shows up in the phone?
Google Ads usually brings calls in the first week, technical SEO fixes move inside the first 30 days, and local and long-tail rankings typically take 60 to 90 days. The monthly report counts calls and leads from the start, so the trend is visible while the rest builds.
What does the service agreement commit me to?
The first term is six months, then the agreement runs month to month, and either side can end it with 30 days’ notice. The six months are there because local rankings and an ad account need time before their numbers mean anything. The AI receptionist is the exception: it has no contract and no setup fee, and you can cancel anytime.
Who owns the website and the content?
You do. The domain, the hosting, the WordPress install and the writing all sit in your name, so changing agencies does not cost you the site. Your site stays yours whichever services you run, and Lithium works inside it for as long as you are a client.
How does Lithium work with a business in Downey from Portland?
Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. Strategy calls go to a co-founder, and Allison McKenney, the account manager, is your day-to-day contact.
