Know what the click needs to earn

Long Island PPC starts with the economics of a job

Lithium Marketing plans and operates paid search campaigns around the jobs Long Island service businesses want to win. The average recorded click price for 'roofing company long island' is $33.98. At that price, a campaign needs a defined service offer, a page that helps the visitor act and tracking that shows which calls came from the advertising.

We ask what a booked job is worth and how often your leads become work before recommending spend. A repair offer and a large installation can support different budgets, even within the same business. Your campaign plan separates those offers so you can see what each one costs to promote and decide where to keep investing.

Let capacity shape the calendar

Change the ad plan when the work changes

If Long Island's hot, usually humid summers or cool winters with snow and rain change your call mix, use your booking records to plan the ad calendar. An HVAC business might need different repair offers across seasons; a landscaper might adjust project promotion to its own production schedule.

The best ad schedule is one your business can support. Tell us when you can take estimates, how new leads are answered and which services have openings. We can align campaign hours and landing-page promises with that information, then review the calls to see if the schedule is bringing the work you intended.

Compete on the job being offered

A bigger bid cannot fix an unclear service

The roofing business count for Nassau and Suffolk counties combined is 160 establishments. A roofer advertising a repair should send the customer to repair details and an inspection request, with replacement work explained separately. The ad and landing page need to agree about what happens after the customer contacts you.

Across Nassau and Suffolk counties combined, there are 2,730 landscaping establishments. Your own project photos and service descriptions give buyers something to compare beyond an ad headline. We test those details against calls and quote requests, and exclude searches that repeatedly bring work you do not sell.

Control the spend from the start

Build a campaign you can judge by its calls

Your budget, service offer and measurement are agreed before we ask Google to send paid visitors.

1

Choose the offer and spending limit

We review any existing account and your job values, then select the services to advertise. Nassau and Suffolk targeting follows the places you can serve.

2

Test lead tracking before launch

We check calls and form events from the landing page through the reporting tools. Your team knows how to mark which leads became estimates or jobs.

3

Write the ad and its matching page

The keyword, headline and page describe the same service. We add exclusions for searches that do not fit and make the next customer step explicit.

4

Refine the account using customer outcomes

During the first 30 days we optimize daily, then move to weekly reviews. Bids, search terms and pages are adjusted using costs and lead quality, with booking feedback from you.

Advertising in a wider engagement

What F&W's paid and organic results show

F&W Fence Co.'s case separates search visibility from advertising performance. Lithium's work for the fence company covered Google Ads, SEO and a new website. Beside that case, the recommendation from Atiyeh Bros' Kevin Atiyeh discusses marketing that reflects the company's carpet and rug business.

FAQ

Before you fund the next advertising campaign

Still curious?

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

How are the fee and ad budget agreed?

Google Ads starts from $500 a month in management, plus ad spend. The fee depends on advertising spend, the channels we operate and landing-page work. We set the media budget separately with you, using click costs and job economics, so the proposal shows what pays for management and what buys advertising.

Can Google Ads work with a limited starting budget?

A focused test may fit a limited budget when you narrow the services and territory. We choose an offer your team can sell and fulfill, then compare lead costs with the work it produces. If the budget cannot support a credible test in your trade, we explain that before you commit.

Will paid search bring leads faster than SEO?

Paid campaigns typically begin showing initial results within the first week, while organic search work takes longer to develop. The early calls help us judge search terms and page performance. They are the beginning of the review process, and the number of leads or jobs is not guaranteed.

What if the ads bring calls for jobs we don't want?

We review the search terms, the offer and the locations behind those calls. Search exclusions, tighter targeting and clearer page wording can address the mismatch. Tell us which leads were outside your services and why, so campaign changes respond to the calls your team handled.

Can you manage an existing account without starting over?

We can review and manage an existing account, keeping campaigns that have supported your business and correcting tracking or targeting problems. The starting review covers search terms, spending and landing pages. We explain the proposed changes before implementation so you know what is being kept and why.
