SEO in Longview

The searches a Longview SEO plan should answer

Lithium Marketing builds Longview SEO around the searches customers already type: “plumber longview wa” draws 320 searches a month. We build the pages and the Google Business Profile that answer that search, then report the calls and leads the work produces.

For “plumber longview wa”, the local listings came first when we checked, and MapQuest and Yelp also appeared in the top 10. A customer who starts there sees a name, a rating and a phone number, so the profile and the directory listings come before the pages underneath.

Housing and geography

Housing age and city lines in Longview

The median home in Longview was built in 1967, so repair and replacement pages should come before new-construction pages. A page for a leaking supply line answers a different search from a page for a full bathroom remodel.

Cowlitz County is the whole of the Longview-Kelso metro area, and Longview's eastern edge meets Kelso, the county seat. In Cowlitz County, 56.8% of homes were built before 1980, so the repair and replacement pages that work in Longview can work in Kelso with the city name changed.

County trade counts

The county trades that need their own pages

Cowlitz County's trade list includes 45 residential remodelers and 37 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. In both fields the profile category and the page should match the job the customer typed, because the customer is choosing from the listings either way.

Cowlitz County has 14 roofing contractors, a smaller field where a page that names the repair, the service area and the next step gives Google more to match than a broad services page.

The SEO plan

The monthly SEO work in Longview

Profile, pages and listings first, then a report in calls and leads.

1

Look at the results page first

We check what Google shows for your top trades, including the local listings and the directories that appear, before we change anything.

2

Fix the profile and the listings

Categories, services, service area and photos go into the Google Business Profile, and the directory listings get the same name, phone and services.

3

Write the trade and city pages

Each trade gets a page for the job it sells, and each city you serve gets a page with its own service area.

4

Report calls and leads

The monthly report starts with calls and leads, then adds cost per lead, so the trend is clear before you change the plan.

FAQ

Longview SEO questions before you hire

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How soon will Longview search results move?

The technical work usually shows inside the first month. Local and long-tail rankings typically take 60 to 90 days, and the report starts counting calls in month one, so the phone moves before the rankings do. No one can promise a position.

What does the monthly SEO range depend on?

Most Longview service businesses land inside the range. The number of trades and cities you want covered moves it, and so does the work the site needs first. A single trade with a clean profile comes in at the bottom of the range; a plan across the county lands higher.

Do you work with more than one trade in a town this size?

Lithium works with plumbers, roofers, landscapers, remodelers and other trades in the same market. Each one gets its own pages and its own report, so a roofer is not judged by a plumber's calls.

What do you need from us to start SEO?

Access to your Google Business Profile and website, your service list, the cities you cover and the calls you want more of. We check the tracking before we change pages, so the first report has a baseline.

How do reviews fit into the work?

Lithium helps you ask finished customers for a review and reply to the ones you get. The profile and the service pages give those reviews somewhere to land. We never promise a review count.
