The four services
What a Longview marketing plan should cover
A Longview customer who looks up a service business should find the same offer on the website, in the Google profile, in the ads and on the phone. Lithium Marketing builds and runs that set, so the offer does not change from one place to the next. Cowlitz County has 2,309 establishments, and a customer comparing home service businesses has plenty of choices; the four services should present one offer.
Longview has 38,362 residents and 16,826 housing units, and 73.9% of Longview's homes were built before 1980. That housing stock makes repair and replacement the work most service pages should explain, while the plan starts with the phone and the site, then adds search and ads once those can take the call.

Search in Longview
What Longview customers type before they call
The search “plumber longview wa” draws 320 searches a month, and a customer who lands on a page that answers it should find the same offer in the profile, the ads and the phone line.
MapQuest and Yelp appeared in the top 10 when we checked “plumber longview wa”. A directory profile shows a list of names; your site and your Google profile should give the customer the details a list leaves out.

The local market
Owners, renters and the city line
55.2% of Longview's occupied homes are owner-occupied, so the site and the phone line should treat homeowners as the main buyer while keeping a clear path for rental property calls.
Longview shares its eastern border with Kelso, the county seat. The Longview-Kelso metro area encompasses all of Cowlitz County, and Kelso is a separate city, so the service area on your profile and the cities named on your site should match the ones you serve; Lithium is headquartered in Portland, with team members in Portland, Bend and Seattle, and we work with every client by video.

County trade mix
The county's trade mix, by the numbers
Cowlitz County lists 45 residential remodelers and 38 landscaping services, two crowded fields where the website has to show the projects you take and the ones you send elsewhere.
Cowlitz County has 37 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. A customer with a failed water heater will see several of them, so the website, the profile and the phone line should make the same offer.

The order of work
How the four services fit together in Longview
One plan, one tracking setup, and a report that shows which service produced the calls.
1
Agree on the offer
We write down what you fix, the cities you cover and the jobs you want, then check that the site, profile and ads say the same thing.
2
Make the phone version work first
If the site is slow or hard to use on a phone, we fix or rebuild it before adding traffic.
3
Put search and ads behind the same pages
SEO builds the trade and city pages, and Google Ads points at those pages so the message does not change after the click.
4
Report calls and leads by service
A monthly report shows calls and leads by service, so the next decision follows what the phone did.
A Lithium case
Sarkinen Plumbing's website, SEO and Google Ads
Sarkinen Plumbing is a Portland-area plumber. Lithium built its website and ran its SEO and Google Ads; the card's numbers come from that combined work. The quote beside it is from Drake Snodgrass, owner and CEO of Drake's 7 Dees.
Plumbing“Lithium has moved us to page 1 in Google search organically. Prior to working with them we spent a huge part of our marketing budget on paid search. Website redesign was a great experience.”

FAQ
Longview marketing questions before the first call
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What order should a Longview business tackle the four services in?
The phone comes first. If a call rings out or the site loses a visitor on a phone, fix that before buying traffic. Then add search, then ads, and only when the report shows the last step is paying. A co-founder sets that order with you on the first call.
Can we start with one service and add the others later?
The services are separate, so you can add one without replacing the others. Start with the work you hired us for and add a second when the report shows the first is paying; the tracking stays the same.
How does a plan cover Longview and Kelso?
Each city gets its own page and its own service area, and the same phone number runs across both so the report does not split one business in two. A Kelso customer should land on a page that names Kelso, not one that only says Longview.
What does the plan cost, and what changes the total?
The price block above lists each service, and the total is whatever combination you choose. A larger website or more SEO work moves the number, and ad spend is always separate from the management fee. Custom automation gets its own quote after a call about the workflow.
How will we know the plan is working?
The monthly report shows calls, leads and cost per lead by service. If a service is producing calls at a cost your jobs can carry, it stays; if not, we change the pages, the ads or the call rules before adding budget.
