Paid search, explained
Lithium Marketing runs Google Ads for Gulfport service businesses, and the account is opened in your name, not ours. The billing history and the conversion data belong to the business, so nothing has to be rebuilt if we ever part ways.
Four more Gulfport trade searches show the spread: “pest control gulfport” averages $20.70 a click, “plumber gulfport” $18.41, “garage door repair gulfport” $13.19 and “electrician gulfport” $8.82. At those prices the search terms that never produce a call matter as much as the bid, which is why the account starts with negatives and a tracking number.
Click costs in Gulfport
The table below sorts the trades by click cost, from the roofing search at the top down to “hvac repair gulfport” at $5.73. A trade near the top needs a landing page that converts and a tight list of negative keywords. A trade near the bottom can test more searches before it narrows them.
The results page for “plumber gulfport” carried no paid ads when we looked, and the local listings took the top. Ad positions move with the hour and the budget, so treat paid search as the second engine behind a filled-in Google profile.

When the calls arrive
Summers here are generally long, hot and humid, and the Gulf keeps the worst of the heat off the city. If those weeks are when your calls arrive, build the budget before them and hold it through.
Winters are short and generally mild, which matters for a trade that sells outdoor work. The first month of tracking is what tells you when the calls land, so the calendar gets adjusted then.

Which trades can carry ads
Harrison County has 36 landscaping services and 37 electrical contractors, and “landscaping gulfport” draws 110 searches a month and “electrician gulfport” 170. Both have enough search behind them to run a paid test, provided the landing page answers the same question the ad asked.
Smaller fields buy differently. A painter selling interior work needs a landing page per finish with its own ad group behind it.

Your first month
No budget moves until every call and form carries a tag. After that, the spend follows what the tags report.
The existing campaigns get opened one at a time. Anything that converts stays, and the search terms that have been eating budget get written down.
A tracking number sits on the ad and on the site, and the tags send each call and form to the campaign that produced it.
Your best-paying job gets a campaign of its own, and so does the second one. Each points at a landing page written for that job.
The first 30 days get daily attention on bids and search terms. After that the account settles into a weekly review.
What every Google Ads account includes

“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!”

Enough to buy calls at a price a job can cover. Two things set it: your trade’s click cost and how well the landing page turns a click into a phone call. A roofer’s click costs more than a landscaper’s, so the roofer’s page has to work harder and the excluded-term list has to be longer. We pick a starting number, then move it once the tracking reports what a call costs. Management starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend, and it moves with the channels we run and the landing pages we build.
A new campaign usually produces its first calls in the first week. Then the work shifts to the search terms: the ones that never turn into calls come out, the ones that do get more of the budget, and the cost per lead is measured against the jobs those calls book.
Your name is on it. The account sits in your name with your billing details, and Lithium guarantees that, so the campaign history, the conversion data and the audiences stay with the business if the relationship ends.
Microsoft, Facebook and Instagram are channels Lithium can add once Google is working. A second one pays its way in two cases: your buyers already spend their time there, or a Google click in your trade costs more than the calls it brings. The tracking decides which.
Calls, leads and cost per lead. A tracking number on the ad and on the site records which campaign a call came from, and the report sets that next to the spend so you can see which campaign is paying for itself.
