Start with the plan

One plan for winning Hillsboro customers

Lithium Marketing builds the website, runs SEO and Google Ads and sets up AI call answering for Hillsboro service businesses on a single plan, so more of the people searching for your trade turn into booked jobs. Hillsboro’s population grew 4.4% between 2020 and 2025. Newer residents don’t know the established names in town yet, which gives a business that shows up well on Google a fair shot at their first call.

Hillsboro sits on the west side of the Portland metropolitan area, and searches that name the city add up on their own: “plumber hillsboro” draws about 720 a month. A plan written around Portland keywords misses those customers. We give Hillsboro its own service pages, its own ad targeting and its own line in your call reports, so you can see exactly what the city brings in.

Who’s buying in Hillsboro

What Hillsboro home values mean for your offer

The median Hillsboro home is worth $521,100, and the median household income is $106,409. On homes at that value, a new roof, an HVAC replacement or a kitchen remodel is a large ticket, so each of those jobs gets its own page and ad group, with photos of finished work, next to your repair services.

TV Highway connects Hillsboro to Cornelius and Forest Grove to the west and Beaverton to the east. If your trucks run that road, give each town on it a service-area page and its own line in your reporting, so you can see which ones send paying work before you spend more there.

Washington County trades

Project trades and phone trades need different mixes

Washington County has 310 new home builders and 307 residential remodelers, the two biggest groups in the chart. Their jobs are large projects, so their plans lean on the website and SEO: a gallery for each project type, a page for each kind of job and a review request after every finished project.

Repair trades run on the phone. The county has 147 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors and 130 electrical contractors, so a homeowner with no heat or a dead circuit can dial the next one in seconds if you don’t pick up. For those businesses the plan leans on Google Ads and the AI receptionist, so the calls the ads pay for get answered at any hour.

How we start

Building your Hillsboro plan, step by step

Tracking goes in first, so every later decision about where to spend rests on calls you can count.

1

Find where jobs leak

A co-founder reviews your site, Google profile, ads and phones with you, then call tracking goes in so the gap costing you the most Hillsboro work shows up in numbers.

2

Fix that gap first

That might be a site that hides the phone number, a thin Google profile or calls that ring out. One fix ships before anything new is added.

3

Add the next channel

Once the first fix is working, the next service goes in where your trade needs it most, reporting into the same call tracking.

4

Review the numbers monthly

Each month you get calls, leads and cost per lead in one report, and budget moves toward whatever is booking jobs.

Proof from the Portland metro

Three channels, one Portland glass company

Town & Country Glass is a commercial glass company in Portland, in the same metro as Hillsboro. Lithium built its new website and handled its SEO and Google Ads, and the numbers on the card come from that work together. Nathan Boos of Hillsview Building, a construction business, shares his view of the team beside it.

FAQ

Hillsboro owners’ questions about hiring an agency

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How does Lithium work with a Hillsboro business from Portland?

Entirely by video, the same way we work with every client. Allison McKenney, our account manager, answers your day-to-day questions by phone and email, and strategy calls are with a co-founder. The work itself happens on your website, Google profile, ads account and phone line, so it makes no difference that our team sits in Portland, Bend and Seattle.

Am I locked into a long contract?

Most Lithium services start with a six-month service agreement and then run month to month on 30 days’ notice. The AI receptionist has no contract at all. The first six months give SEO and ads enough time to show what they can do before you decide to keep them.

Is my business big enough for a full marketing plan?

Yes, because a plan can start with one service. A two-truck electrician might begin with the AI receptionist alone and a remodeler with a new website, then add SEO or Google Ads once call numbers justify them. A co-founder weighs your trade, crew size and budget with you and picks the starting point.

Which trades does Lithium market?

Plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, roofers, remodelers, landscapers, painters, pest control firms and other home service businesses. We have current clients across those trades, and every plan is built around the jobs your trade wants more of, from emergency repairs to large remodels.

What should I have ready before the first call?

Your website address, the services you want more of, the towns you work in and a rough idea of what a booked job is worth. If you already run ads or track calls, bring access to those accounts too. That gives a co-founder enough to show you where calls are slipping away.
