Choose what to grow

Long Island marketing starts with your job list

Lithium Marketing connects online marketing with the work Long Island service businesses want to book. The Long Island metro has 2,945,029 residents across Nassau and Suffolk counties combined. You don't need to sell every service across that whole region. We help you choose the jobs and communities worth pursuing, then align your website, search marketing and phone answering with that choice.

A plumbing company adding installation work needs different pages from a landscaper seeking recurring maintenance accounts. Before recommending a budget, we look at the work you can take, the leads you already receive and what happens after someone calls. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video.

The customer behind the search

Help homeowners decide who to hire

Owners occupy 82.1% of occupied homes in Nassau and Suffolk counties combined. Make the homeowner's buying questions easy to answer: what you do, what your finished work looks like and how an estimate begins. We put those answers where a visitor can read them before calling, with separate instructions for rental or managed properties if you serve them.

Long Island's regional name often refers to Nassau and Suffolk counties. We turn your own coverage list into consistent page copy, ad targets and reception answers. If you take jobs in only part of either county, the marketing should say where, so a customer can check their town before requesting an appointment.

Make your work recognizable

Give buyers more than a contractor label

Residential remodelers account for 3,257 establishments in Nassau and Suffolk counties combined. Your strongest introduction is the work you can show: the original room, what you changed and what the owner hired you to do. We use those details in your website and search pages so a prospect can compare experience before requesting a price.

Landscaping services have 2,730 establishments across the same Nassau and Suffolk county market. A broad service list leaves too much for a customer to work out. The same principle applies to roofing and other trades: name the specific jobs you sell, show finished examples and make the estimate process easy to follow.

Turn priorities into work

Agree on the jobs before the channels

Your marketing proposal should explain which part of getting a job it will improve and how you will judge the result.

1

Set the job and territory priorities

Tell us which services have room to grow and which Nassau or Suffolk communities your crews cover. We use that list to shape the proposal.

2

Follow a customer through your business

We inspect the search result, service page and contact options, then ask what happens to the calls. That reveals where a website change, SEO, ads or reception can help.

3

Put the agreed work into motion

We build the pages or campaigns you choose and connect lead tracking. Your scope names the deliverables and who needs to supply photos, access or feedback.

4

Review the jobs behind the totals

Your team identifies which leads became estimates and bookings. We use that feedback with campaign costs to decide what deserves more investment.

FAQ

Decisions to make before hiring a marketing partner

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Can we improve our marketing without replacing everything?

Keep the parts that are doing their job. We can work on search visibility, paid campaigns or phone answering while your existing website stays in use, provided it supports that work. The proposal explains any website changes needed for the service you choose, so you can judge the full scope before agreeing.

What should a small Long Island contractor budget first?

Budget for the problem that is stopping customers from hiring you. A hard-to-use website may need work before advertising, while unanswered calls may make reception the first purchase. We review your job values and capacity with you; a smaller business can start with a focused scope without buying the full program.

How will we know the marketing is paying for itself?

Track the work you win as well as the leads you receive. We report calls and form leads by source, and your team marks estimates and bookings. Reviewing those outcomes against fees, ad spend and the value of the jobs gives you a basis for renewing or changing the plan.

Who will handle questions between strategy calls?

Allison McKenney, our account manager, is your day-to-day contact. A co-founder handles the strategy discussion, and we agree on the work and timeline before starting. You can bring customer feedback, changes to your service list or questions about reporting to the team as the work progresses.

What commitment comes with a marketing engagement?

The usual agreement begins with six months and continues month to month with 30 days' notice. The AI receptionist has no contract. Your proposal identifies the services you are buying and their terms, including any separate website project, so you can review the commitment alongside the cost.
