Paid search, explained

What a Gulfport ad budget has to cover

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.

When the calls arrive

A Gulfport ad calendar that follows the heat

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

Where a paid budget has enough search behind it

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

The first month inside your account

No budget moves until every call and form carries a tag. After that, the spend follows what the tags report.

1

Read what is already running

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.

2

Put a tracking number on every ad

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.

3

Split campaigns by the jobs you want

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.

4

Thirty days of daily changes

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

The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.

A full service record

Where the Dixie Glass numbers came from

The card’s conversion figures belong to the Google Ads account Lithium managed for Dixie Glass. That account was one of three pieces of work, alongside the company’s website and SEO, and Dixie Glass has traded on the Mississippi Gulf Coast since 1946. Nathan Boos of Hillsview Building supplies the quote beside the card.

FAQ

Before you hand over an ads budget

Still curious?

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

What monthly ad spend makes the account work?

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.

How fast does a new campaign produce calls?

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.

Whose name is on the Google Ads account?

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.

Can Lithium run Meta and Microsoft ads as well?

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.

What will the monthly report show me?

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.
