How the four fit together
What one Gulfport marketing program covers
Lithium Marketing runs the website, the search work, the Google Ads and the phone answering as one program for Gulfport service businesses. The point of one program is that a search, a click and a call get counted together, so the owner can see which part of the work produced the job.
The Gulfport-Biloxi metro holds 431,329 people, and a business that serves the coast can take jobs in Biloxi, the rest of Harrison County and the towns across the state lines. One plan can cover that whole area, with a page for each city you work in.
What you can buy
What each Gulfport service is for
You do not have to buy all four at once. Start with the service that fixes the problem you can name today, and open its Gulfport page for the price and the questions.

Search in Gulfport
What Gulfport customers type before they call
Searches for the trades dwarf searches for an agency. “plumber gulfport” draws 720 searches a month and “pest control gulfport” 320, next to about 10 a month for “marketing agency gulfport”. An owner who wants those trade customers has to be findable on the trade phrase first.
When we checked “plumber gulfport”, the local pack sat at the top of the page, with Yelp, Facebook, Angi and the Better Business Bureau all in the top 10 beneath it. A directory can hold a slot on that page, so the profile and the site it links to both have to carry the same name and services.

The Gulfport market
A city spread out, and houses that are getting old
Gulfport covers 55.6 square miles of land, so one service-area page cannot cover the ground you work. Area pages for the parts of town and the neighboring cities you serve give the site a way into each of them, and the Google profile service area should name the same places.
Gulfport has 33,837 housing units, and its median year of construction is 1986. Repair and replacement work on the older end of that stock deserves its own page, illustrated with your photos.

Contractors in Harrison County
Where the county’s contractors are concentrated

Harrison County also lists 22 residential remodelers, 15 excavation and site preparation contractors and 9 painting contractors. For project work, photos of completed jobs do more than a paragraph about the company.

The order of work
How a Gulfport program gets built
The first month is about the call log, and every later decision uses it.
1
Start with a call log
Call and form tracking goes on the site, the Google profile and any ads already running, so the first month shows which services and which channels produce calls.
2
Fix the page every service lands on
A slow page, a phone layout that hides the call button or a missing service page gets fixed before more traffic is sent to it.
3
Put a page behind each trade and city
Service pages for the work you want more of, and city pages for the places you work, each written for a customer comparing two companies.
4
Hand the phone to the receptionist
The AI receptionist answers the calls the first three produce, books what fits and passes urgent calls to your team.
Proof from this coast
The Gulf Coast case behind the program
Proof for the program comes from one Gulf Coast company. Dixie Glass has served Mississippi Gulf Coast customers since 1946, and the website, SEO and Google Ads work Lithium did for it all feed the figures on the card. Nathan Boos of Hillsview Building is quoted beside it.
Glass“A lot of options out there for websites and SEO. I’ve worked with this team for years now and would highly recommend them. They know their stuff and deliver results. More importantly to me- they care about service and follow through on what they say they will do. Easy to work with and communicate with. Thank you!”

Where the program goes after Gulfport
A program built for one city can point at the next one without starting over. Biloxi and Hattiesburg sit in Mississippi, New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner and Mobile are across the state lines, and each link below carries the same four services with that city’s own figures. The state page lists the Mississippi cities Lithium covers.

FAQ
Five questions Gulfport owners put to an agency
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What does the monthly total depend on?
The services you run, the number of trades and cities you want covered, and what a new job is worth in your trade. SEO is priced on the pages and profile work the market needs, Google Ads on ad spend and the channels we run, and a larger website gets a fixed proposal before the work starts.
How does Lithium work with a Gulfport business remotely?
Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. DJ Van Zanten, a co-founder, runs the strategy calls, and Allison McKenney is the account manager you email during the week.
Can we add or drop a service partway through?
You can add or drop one at a time. The call tracking is shared, so a service added later shows up in the same monthly report, and a service you drop leaves the rest of the numbers in place.
Does this work for a two-truck operation as well as a bigger company?
It works for both, and the plan looks different. A two-truck shop can start with one service and three or four pages. A company with several crews and a wide service area needs more pages, more cities and a budget that covers them.
What happens on the first call with a co-founder?
You bring your site, the services you want more of and the cities you cover, and we read the site before the call. The call ends with an order of work: which service runs first, what it costs and what we need from you to start.
Free action plan
Ask for a Gulfport plan built on your own call numbers
Tell us what you sell, where you work and roughly how many calls a week you get. A co-founder will read your site before the call and bring an order of work for the services you choose, on video, at no cost.
