The whole plan

What one Kirkland marketing plan should cover

Kirkland has 97,410 residents and 41,096 housing units, and the contractors who serve them compete for attention on every screen. Lithium Marketing runs the website, local search, Google Ads and phone answering as one plan, so a customer who finds the business in one place meets the same name, hours and services everywhere else.

Kirkland is compact: 5,471 people per square mile, and downtown and Moss Bay hold thousands of condominiums and apartments, largely built since the 1990s. For a contractor, one website and one phone line cover customers from Downtown, Moss Bay and Totem Lake, so the pages should name all three.

The Kirkland market

Owners, new arrivals and the first impression

About 60.8% of Kirkland’s occupied homes are owner-occupied, and those owners are the ones who approve a project and pay for it. The site should answer them first: what the work looks like, how the process runs and how to reach you.

Kirkland added 5.7% to its population between 2020 and 2025, so a share of the people looking for a contractor are new to the city and do not know the established names yet. Reviews and a complete profile do the introducing.

Trades in King County

Crowded trades and the pages that separate them

Residential remodelers and new home builders are King County’s two largest trade groups, at 1,651 and 874 establishments, with 843 landscaping companies behind them. In fields that crowded, a general service page disappears; each kind of project needs its own page, its own photos and a clear first step.

In King County, painting contractors number 531 and electrical contractors 477. A painter and an electrician sell different jobs to different buyers, so the plan should not reuse one page for both; the copy, photos and form questions change with the work.

The order of work

The order we work in

The first month counts calls before it spends, so the plan starts from what already works.

1

Put tracking on every channel

Call and form tracking goes on the site, the profile and the ads, so month one shows which channel already brings Kirkland calls.

2

Repair the page that answers the phone

A slow mobile site or a hidden call button gets fixed before any new traffic is pointed at it.

3

Open the next channel with a purpose

SEO adds a page for a service you want more of; ads buy calls for the work your crews can take this month.

4

Let the phone catch the rest

An AI receptionist answers the calls the other three services produce, and custom automation handles follow-up texts and review requests when you are ready.

Proof

A septic company’s website, SEO and Google Ads

Byers Septic Service hired Lithium to rebuild its website, run its SEO and manage Google Ads. The card shows where that combination took the business. Chris Martin of Mt. Hood Pro Painting adds a separate view of working with Lithium.

“Ever since we've used Lithium Marketing, our phone has been ringing off the hook and we can hardly keep up with the leads we get from Google, Facebook or through our website. Most of our leads other than referrals are through Google and it's all because of Lithium Marketing.”

Around Kirkland

Marketing beyond the Kirkland city line

The plan works across the Eastside: Bellevue and Redmond nearby, Seattle across the lake, and Renton, Everett and Kent further out. Each has a page for this service, and the Washington page lists every city Lithium covers. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video.

FAQ

Kirkland marketing questions before the first call

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How do the four services hand off to each other?

The website is where the click lands. Search and ads bring people to it, and the phone line catches what those pages produce. We build the tracking first so a call can be traced to a page, a keyword or a listing, then decide which service needs the next dollar.

Can we start with one service and add later?

Start with one service. Add a second when the call numbers justify it; every service reports into the same tracking, so you can see what the addition changed. Most services start with a six-month agreement, then run month to month on 30 days’ notice.

What does the first month look like?

Tracking goes in, the site gets a hard look on a phone, and we agree on the first service to push. You see the calls and forms that came in before any big spend, which gives the next decision a baseline.

How is the cost of the plan set?

Each service keeps its own published price, and you pay only for the ones you choose. SEO runs $1,300–$3,000 a month, depending on the services and cities you want and what a customer is worth. Google Ads runs from $500 a month in management, plus ad spend, and a typical website is $5,000.

What do you need from us to start?

Access to the site, the Google Business Profile and any ad account, plus a short list of the jobs you want more of and the places you cover. A co-founder takes it from there on a video call, before anything is proposed.
