The plan in short

What one Elizabeth marketing plan pulls together

An Elizabeth service business often has a website, an ad account and a phone line bought at different times. The plan puts four services under one roof: a site that loads on a phone, search pages for the work you sell, Google Ads for the jobs you need sooner, and an AI receptionist that answers at any hour, including when your crews are on a job. Only 25.6% of Elizabeth’s occupied homes are owner-occupied, so pages for tenants and property managers belong in the build from the start.

Elizabeth has 141,675 residents, and its median home is worth $449,300. Lithium Marketing runs the same call tracking across all four services, so a search that starts in the Map Pack, an ad or a service page ends in one report of calls and booked jobs.

The Elizabeth market

Renters, older houses and a county of trades

Elizabeth’s median household income is $66,555, against $103,202 across Union County. A page that assumes a big renovation budget loses the household weighing a repair, so name payment options, maintenance plans and smaller jobs beside the larger work.

Housing age drives the page plan. 72.5% of Elizabeth homes were built before 1980, so replacement and repair work carries more weight than a new-construction gallery. Photograph the finished job in those older houses and describe what was replaced.

Trades in Union County

The Union County trades that compete for every search

Union County has 317 residential remodelers, 263 landscaping companies and 207 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. They compete for the same local searches, so one page listing every service gives a customer no reason to choose you.

The smaller fields need the same care. A pest company that separates ant, rodent and termite work gives each search its own page and its own proof, and a roofer can do the same for repair, replacement and flat roofs.

How the work is ordered

How an Elizabeth plan gets built

We measure what you already get before the budget moves, so the spend goes where calls are missing.

1

Pick the service that is losing calls

We look at the site, the Google profile and the phone line together and name the gap that costs the most work: a slow page, a thin profile or a line that rings out after hours.

2

Put every call in one count

Call and form tracking goes on the site, the Google profile and any live campaigns, so the first report shows which Elizabeth jobs already arrive without help.

3

Write the pages each service needs

Service pages and neighborhood pages go up for the work you want more of, written around the service phrases customers use.

4

Add ads and a phone line that answers

Google Ads starts on the jobs you need sooner, and the AI receptionist picks up the calls the other services produce, 24/7, under your rules. Custom automation handles follow-up texts and review requests.

“Ever since we've used Lithium Marketing, our phone has been ringing off the hook and we can hardly keep up with the leads we get from Google, Facebook or through our website. Most of our leads other than referrals are through Google and it's all because of Lithium Marketing.”

FAQ

Straight answers for Elizabeth owners

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Which part of the plan comes first?

Whichever gap is costing you work. A phone that rings out gets the receptionist first. A site that is hard to use on a phone gets the website first. A site that works but never appears gets SEO or Google Ads. The tracking installed at the start shows which of those is true.

Can I start with one service and add the rest later?

Start with one and add the rest when the calls justify it. The services share one tracking setup, so adding a second or third later does not mean starting the reporting over. Each price is quoted on its own, which lets you see the next step’s cost before you say yes.

Who do I talk to after the first call?

Allison McKenney is the account manager for daily questions, and strategy calls go to a co-founder. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, and we work with every client by video.

What makes the monthly total go up or down?

It depends on the service and on what a booked job is worth to you. SEO is scoped to your market and to that value, Google Ads management starts at $500 a month plus ad spend, and a website is priced by the pages it needs. Nothing is added without a number in front of it.

Do you work with trades outside home services?

Manufacturing, insurance and real estate are on the client list alongside the home service trades that make up most of it. The work fits a business whose customer searches Google before calling, and the four services do not change with the trade.
