PPC in Kennewick

What a Kennewick ad budget buys before it buys clicks

Lithium Marketing runs Google Ads for Kennewick service businesses, and the work starts with the number a click has to beat. “Pest control kennewick” draws 480 searches a month at an average of $17.47 a click, so a pest company needs a landing page and a phone that turn that spend into calls.

An electrician in Kennewick pays $27.37 a click on average, the highest trade rate here, and a mistyped keyword there costs real money. We cut the search terms that never call and move what they were spending onto the ones that do, which is why the account gets read before it gets money.

The Kennewick market

Which cities the Kennewick ads should cover

Richland, which is upstream of Kennewick on the same side of the river, and Pasco across the Columbia are separate ad geographies, and a campaign that names only Kennewick buys a narrower map than the work it takes. The fix is a city list you approve before launch, with its own budget line if you serve all three.

Kennewick summers bring extreme heat and low humidity, and if your trade's work clusters in that stretch, the budget should follow the same curve and pull back when it ends. Each service gets its own calendar, not one flat line for the year.

Benton County trades

The county trades behind a Kennewick ad account

Benton County lists 59 electrical contractors and 65 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, and both sell to the same homeowner at different moments. That is why the account is built around the purchases, not the trades: a panel upgrade and a furnace replacement are two campaigns.

In Benton County, roofing is the smaller field at 23 contractors, and the broad term “roofing company kennewick” carries 20 searches a month, so the budget goes further on the specific jobs. Roof repair and replacement each get their own ad group before the broad term sees a budget.

Setup and tuning

How the Kennewick account gets built

Nothing in the account changes until a call can be traced to the keyword behind it.

1

Start with the history

If an account already exists, its search term report is the first thing we read. It shows what has been paid for and which clicks never turned into a conversation.

2

Tag it before you spend

Forms and phone numbers get tracked before the first dollar goes out, so the first week's report has a cost per lead in it, not a guess.

3

Split by the job being sold

A drain clearing and a bathroom remodel are different purchases, so they get different landing pages, different match types and separate lines in the report.

4

Tighten it in the first month

Bids and search terms get daily attention for the first 30 days, then weekly. Management runs from $500 a month, plus ad spend, and the report shows calls, leads and cost per lead.

What every Google Ads account includes

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

FAQ

Kennewick ads questions, answered plainly

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Whose name goes on the Google Ads account?

Yours, and Lithium guarantees that. The work is built inside an account you own, so the history, the conversion data and every campaign stay with you if the relationship ends. You keep the login either way.

How much should we put behind the clicks each month?

Enough to buy the calls your booked work can cover, which depends on the trade and on how many jobs your crew can take. We start from your capacity and what a booked job is worth, set a number that buys enough clicks to learn from, and adjust once two weeks of tracking exist.

How soon does the first call arrive?

Initial results typically show up in the first week once tracking is live, which is the reason tracking goes in first. The first month is for cutting the searches that never convert, and cost per lead is easier to judge after that.

Do you manage anything beyond Google?

Only after Google has proven itself. Microsoft Ads can be worth a test in some trades, and Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram have a place when your customers spend their evenings there. We open a second channel once the first one's cost per lead is known.

What does the monthly report show?

Three numbers, by campaign: calls, leads and cost per lead. The report also lists the search terms that produced them, so a term that never calls is easy to spot. Mark the leads that turned into booked work and the same page follows a campaign all the way to the job.
