PPC, priced before it runs

What an Inglewood ad budget buys

The average click on “plumber inglewood” costs $63.39, the highest on the trade table for this city. Lithium Marketing runs Google Ads for Inglewood service businesses, and at that price the account has to earn each click back in calls, not impressions.

Garage door clicks in Inglewood are close behind at $57.31, and pest control there runs $31.60. A campaign that treats those three the same overpays for one trade and underbids another, so the budget is set trade by trade.

Where the clicks come from

Renters, owners and the call behind the click

The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area holds 12,844,441 people, and a campaign set to Inglewood alone can miss customers in the neighboring cities your crews already serve. The location list should match the places you work.

The person clicking your ad may be a tenant, a landlord or a property manager, and each one needs a different first question. The ad and the landing page should name the property type and the decision maker early, so the call is easier to price.

The county trade mix

Which trades the county chart puts in front of you

Los Angeles County lists 435 pest control companies and 2,765 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. A broad campaign that bids on the trade name alone competes for the same clicks as each of them; the ad and the landing page have to name the job.

The table above also shows what a click costs for each trade. Those differences are why one budget cannot cover every service in the same way.

The first month

How an Inglewood Google Ads account starts

The account opens with tracking, a landing page and a budget tied to the jobs your crews can take.

1

Start with the jobs you can serve

We list the work your crews can take in the next month and the cities they cover, then pick the campaigns that match.

2

Build a page for each job

Each campaign gets a landing page with the offer, the proof and a phone number a visitor can tap.

3

Show what the clicks produced

Call tracking labels each call and form with its campaign, so the report shows which ads produce leads.

4

Move budget after the first month

Bids and search terms get checked every day for the first 30 days and once a week after that.

What every Google Ads account includes

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

FAQ

Google Ads questions from Inglewood owners

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How much should I budget for ads?

Start with what a booked job is worth and what a click costs in your trade. Management begins at $500 a month, plus ad spend, and the ad budget is separate. A plumber paying $63.39 a click in Inglewood needs a different starting number than a landscaper paying $0.33, so we set the budget together.

When will calls start?

Tracking is in place before the first click, so calls usually arrive in week one. Month one is about dropping the searches that spend money without a call and moving that budget to the terms that earn their keep. The account keeps changing after that, and the report shows what each change produced.

Whose name is on the Google Ads account?

Yours. Lithium guarantees the Google Ads account is in your business's name from the start, with your billing method, so the account history builds under your name. If you ever change agencies, the data stays with you. We work inside your account and show you where everything lives.

How do you know which ads produce jobs?

Each call and form is labeled with its campaign, and the report breaks calls and cost per lead down by campaign. When your team marks the leads that turned into work, the same report shows which campaigns produced booked jobs.

Can you run ads beyond Google?

Google is the first place to test, not the only one. Lithium can also run Microsoft Ads, Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, or LinkedIn when a channel matches where your buyers look. Each one gets its own tracking, so the report shows whether the second channel earned its budget.
