In every trade
What stays the same in every trade.
How we work with a plumber is how we work with a landscaper.
You own the site and domain
You own the domain, hosting, WordPress install and content of every website we build for you.
Six-month starting term
Service agreements typically start with six months, then renew monthly with 30 days’ cancellation notice, and the AI receptionist can be canceled anytime. We earn the business every month.
A co-founder on the first call
DJ Van Zanten runs every strategy call. He has over 20 years of experience and has consulted with over 1,000 businesses.
Reporting tied to revenue
Monthly reporting ties calls and quote requests back to revenue, because we focus on revenue, not just rankings.
FAQ
Before you pick an agency for your trade.
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Do you work with my trade if it isn’t listed here?
Yes, if your customers find you through search and then call or request a quote. Lithium works with local and national service businesses, from contractors and home services to professional services, and has built websites for an independent insurance agency, a real estate broker, a vehicle title service and a Cerakote and powder coating shop.
Do you change the marketing for each trade?
Yes. The services stay the same, but the plan follows how customers in your trade buy. Phone-first trades like plumbing, restoration and septic start by catching every call, with tap-to-call websites and the AI receptionist. Builders and remodelers need project pages and proof photos that turn research into project inquiries. Landscapers and garden centers plan around the season, with Google Ads ramp-ups for peak demand and organic traffic that keeps compounding.
What does marketing cost for a service business?
A website is a one-time project, typically $5,000, and the monthly services start at $179 a month for the AI receptionist. Local SEO typically runs $1,300 to $3,000 a month, and Google Ads management starts at $500 a month plus ad spend. Website prices are a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call, and AI automation is quoted after a free discovery call.
Can you guarantee results in my trade?
No. No reputable agency can promise a ranking, because Google controls its rankings and the AI companies control what their answers say. What we guarantee is the work: technical fixes shipped on time, a fully optimized Google Business Profile, links built with semantic filters and content built to a Helpful Content standard.
