Start with the gap

What one Edinburg plan should cover

When a trade business buys marketing one piece at a time, the owner cannot see which piece is losing the jobs. Lithium Marketing covers the website, the search pages, the ads and the phone under one plan, and the first call decides where the work starts.

New residents are the ones with no plumber, roofer or landscaper on file yet. When one of them needs a trade, the search can start on a phone, so the plan begins with the calls you already lose and adds reach once the phone is covered.

The market under the plan

The market the plan sells into

Hidalgo County holds 13,393 establishments across every industry, and the trade counts below show the fields the plan sells into. The county also has 124 new home builders, so new-house work belongs on the page list.

Edinburg's median home is worth $189,600, and 31.0% of the city's homes went up in 2010 or later. If most of your work is on homes built in 2010 or later, a page about upgrades fits better than one about repairing old systems.

Trades in the county

What the trade mix means for one plan

Plumbing and HVAC is the deepest field in Hidalgo County. If your work is repair calls, the phone matters more than a long content build, which is why the receptionist and the ads come before more pages.

Landscaping and pest control are the smaller fields on the chart: 36 landscaping services and 21 pest control companies in the county. A landscaper here can win a search with one strong page and a profile, and a pest company can do the same by answering the treatment questions customers ask before they book.

The order of work

How a plan gets built here

Tracking comes first, because every later choice depends on knowing which calls came from where.

1

Find where the calls come from

Tracking on the site, the profile and any running ads records what sent each call, so the first decision rests on your own numbers.

2

Fix the step that leaks

A page that will not load on a phone, or a profile missing half its services, is the cheapest thing to repair and the first we touch.

3

Put pages where the demand is

The trades with real search volume get pages and a profile that backs them up; a service with a deadline gets paid ads instead.

4

Let the receptionist take the line

Every call the other three produce reaches the receptionist, which answers, qualifies and books, while custom automation sends the follow-up and asks for the review.

Proof from a plumbing company

Sarkinen Plumbing's website, search and ads

Sarkinen Plumbing, a plumber in the Portland area, is the client on the card. Lithium built the website, ran the SEO and managed the Google Ads, and the card's numbers cover that work. Drake Snodgrass of Drake's 7 Dees, a garden center, gives his own view of working with Lithium beside it.

Around South Texas

Taking the same plan to the next city

The plan travels. McAllen, Brownsville, Corpus Christi and Laredo have their own marketing pages, and the Texas page lists every city Lithium works in. A business with crews in more than one of them can put the same plan behind each city.

FAQ

What an Edinburg owner wants to know first

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Where does a plan usually start?

With the step that is losing work today. Calls that ring out point at the phone. A site a customer cannot read on a phone points at the website. A good site that does not show up points at search or ads. A co-founder reads your tracking, your site and your listings on the first call and puts the order in writing.

Do we have to sign a long contract?

The service agreement starts with six months, then runs month to month with 30 days' notice. That first stretch is there because search and profile work takes time to show. After it, the agreement continues a month at a time. The AI receptionist is the one exception, with no contract of its own.

Who runs the work after the plan starts?

A co-founder runs your strategy calls, and Allison McKenney handles day-to-day questions as your account manager. Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video.

Can we start with only the website?

A site can run on its own. It is a one-time project, and it can run while you decide about search or ads. The tracking goes in with the build, so when you add a retainer the calls already have a history to compare against.

What if we already have an agency?

We read what is running before we change it: the ad account history, the pages, the profile and the reports. The first call sorts what is worth keeping from what is holding you back, and you keep everything you paid for either way.
