Where the ad budget goes
Paid search in East Los Angeles, priced by the click
Lithium Marketing handles paid search for East Los Angeles service businesses. Management starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend. The Google Ads account is in your name, and Lithium guarantees that. Every campaign reports the calls, leads and cost per lead it produced.
East Los Angeles clicks are not cheap. At these prices the account needs three things before it spends: call tracking, a page that finishes the ad's sentence, and a list of search terms you refuse to pay for.
Click costs in East Los Angeles
What the clicks cost, trade by trade
An average click on “electrician east los angeles” runs $37.89, and plumbing clicks here cost more still. At that price a search term that was never going to book is a real loss, so the negative keyword list gets built in the first week.
When we checked a plumbing search here, no ads showed on the page and the local listings came first. Ad slots come and go through the day, so the paid campaign is built to sit alongside a profile that is already complete.

The market behind the budget
Who approves the work, and when the calls arrive
East Los Angeles has 111,647 residents and 30,442 occupied homes, and 33.5% of them are owner-occupied. The rest are rentals, so a share of your paid clicks lands with a tenant who has to reach a landlord before anything gets approved. A page that asks who approves the work saves the crew a wasted visit.
Los Angeles County has 2,765 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, so a campaign should only run in the hours you can answer. Send the rest of the calls to a page that takes a form or books the visit.

Trades and what they cost to reach
Where the county's counts change the bidding
“Pest control east los angeles” and “water damage restoration east los angeles” each draw about 10 searches a month, and both are trades where one job can pay for a week of clicks. Both reward a narrow campaign: the search tells you which service to name in the ad.
Los Angeles County carries 487 roofing contractors and 1,747 new home builders, and each group sells a different kind of call. A roofer's paid search is an inspection after a leak; a builder's is a question about a lot or a plan set. One campaign cannot say both, so each service you want to sell gets its own.

The first month of ads
How a Google Ads account here gets set up
Tracking goes in before the budget goes up, and the campaigns follow the trades you can staff.
1
Open the account in your name
The Google Ads account, the billing and the conversion history sit with your business, not with us.
2
Wire the calls and forms
Call tracking, GA4 and conversion tags go in first, so the report can show calls, leads and cost per lead from the first week.
3
Build one campaign per service
Drain cleaning, roof repair or whatever you sell gets its own ad group, its own budget line and a landing page that finishes the ad's sentence.
4
Check bids daily, then weekly
For the first 30 days we touch bids and search terms daily; after that it is a weekly review against the calls on the report.
What every Google Ads account includes
The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.
- Conversion tracking, properly wired
- Landing pages per intent
- Match types and negatives
- Responsive search ads
- Geo and audience targeting
- Bid management
- Remarketing
- Looker Studio reporting

FAQ
What owners ask before they spend on ads
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
How much should we budget for ad spend?
Enough to buy the calls your crews can take. A trade with an expensive click needs more budget for the same number of calls than a cheaper one, and the landing page's conversion rate changes the math again. We set a starting number together and move it once the report shows the cost per lead.
When do the first calls arrive?
Calls usually begin inside the first week, with tracking already running. Then the tuning starts: search terms that never produce a call get cut, and the budget moves toward the ones that do.
What happens to the account if we stop working with you?
It stays yours. The account, its conversion history and its billing sit with your business, which is why we build it that way from the start.
Do you run ads anywhere besides Google?
A second channel gets a test when the numbers support it. Lithium manages Microsoft Ads and Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, and we add one only after the Google campaigns show what a call costs you.
How is the management fee worked out?
Management starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend, and it scales with the ad spend, the channels we run and any landing page work. The fee sits on the same report as the calls.
