Budget before bids

Lexington PPC needs a budget for the whole sale

Lithium Marketing builds and manages paid campaigns that help Lexington service businesses attract leads for the work they want to book. The average cost per click for “hvac repair lexington” is $40.90. Before you buy that traffic, the ad needs a matching service offer, a working landing page and tracking that records customer contacts.

A click on “plumber lexington” averages $33.54. Your starting budget must leave room to learn which searches produce calls and which calls become jobs. We set that budget with you, review the search terms and use your booking feedback before recommending an increase.

Let capacity shape spending

Plan seasonal ads around your own call history

Lexington has hot, humid summers and moderately cold winters with occasional mild periods. If your call records show seasonal changes, we use them to plan service offers and spending. The schedule should reflect the work your crew can deliver and the months customers have contacted you.

Keep capacity in the conversation even when campaigns are performing well. Tell us when a service is booked ahead, a crew is unavailable or a particular project becomes a priority. That lets us change targeting and budgets before the ads promote work you cannot take.

Write a specific offer

Make the advertisement explain why a customer should call

Roofing contractors account for 23 establishments in Fayette County. A roof repair ad should explain the repair service and lead to a page about it; a replacement offer needs its own explanation. Use job photos and a description of what your crew does to support each offer.

Among Fayette County businesses, 88 establishments provide landscaping services. A company offering both installations and maintenance can advertise those services separately. We organize the campaign around the customer’s request and compare lead costs before deciding where to spend more.

Account setup and review

Build a Lexington ad account around decisions you can check

Search terms, landing pages and tracking need to agree before campaign costs can guide the next move.

1

Review spend and service priorities

We inspect an existing account or research a starting campaign. You identify the jobs, locations and capacity that should shape its budget.

2

Check that calls and forms are tracked

We configure analytics, call tracking and conversion measurement, then verify forms and call links. Reporting shows calls, leads and average cost per lead by campaign.

3

Match the ad to the request

We organize keywords and landing pages around your services, adding exclusions for unwanted work. Location settings focus the campaigns on your Kentucky coverage.

4

Check frequently, then refine

We review campaigns daily during the first 30 days, then weekly. Search terms, bids and booking feedback guide changes to spend and pages.

Advertising with context

Town & Country Glass invested in more than the click

For Town & Country Glass, a commercial glass business in Portland, Lithium’s scope included Google Ads, SEO and a website. Its case shows the advertising results alongside organic search performance. The separate quote from Drake Snodgrass recounts his experience with Lithium at garden center Drake’s 7 Dees.

FAQ

Before you fund a Lexington PPC campaign

Still curious?

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

What will we pay Lithium, and what goes to the ad platform?

Management starts from $500 a month, plus ad spend paid for the advertising itself. The management fee depends on ad spend, advertising channels and landing page work. We agree on that scope before launch so your budget accounts for both the campaign and the work needed to run it.

How soon can a new campaign produce leads?

Initial results typically arrive within the first week of running the ads. Early contacts help us review search terms and landing pages, but they are only the beginning of judging performance. Campaign lead costs and your feedback on booked jobs guide the changes that follow.

Will your reporting show if the ads are worth keeping?

Reporting gives you calls, leads and average cost per lead for each campaign. Your team adds the booking feedback that shows which leads became work. We review those together when deciding to continue, change or reduce spending; a high click count by itself is not the goal.

Can we choose advertising channels beyond Google?

Lithium can also manage Microsoft Ads, Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, and LinkedIn. We choose channels according to your offer, customers and budget. Each addition needs its own reason to run and a way to measure leads. A small budget may be better concentrated on a single platform.

What happens to the agreement after the initial campaign period?

The usual service term is six months, then monthly continuation with 30 days’ notice. We set that out in the proposal with the management scope. Campaign performance is reviewed throughout the agreement, so budget and targeting decisions do not wait until renewal.
