Know what you are buying

Make Louisville PPC spending accountable to the work it brings

Lithium Marketing manages Louisville paid search around your services, capacity and lead costs. At $42.10 per click on average, “garage door repair louisville” needs careful spending decisions. We check the search terms attracting clicks, the page customers reach and the calls that follow before recommending more budget.

The campaign should make an offer your crew wants to fulfill. We separate services with different job values, remove searches that do not fit, and report calls and cost per lead. You tell us which leads booked; that feedback helps distinguish a campaign that generates conversations from one that brings profitable work.

Budget around your workload

Let seasonal capacity shape the advertising calendar

Louisville summers are typically hot and humid. If your repair calls increase during heat, compare those periods with your crew’s capacity before raising bids. When the schedule fills, consider reducing spend on work you cannot take promptly or promoting projects with a later start.

Winter in Louisville brings rain, sleet and snow, with occasional icing. If those conditions change demand for your services, prepare the ad messages and landing pages before adjusting the budget. Your booking history and available staff determine the spending schedule; a weather forecast alone is not a reason to buy more clicks.

Compete with a specific offer

Trade size does not tell you what to bid

Roofing businesses make up 59 establishments in Jefferson County. An ad for a leak repair needs different service details from a replacement estimate. Choose the work you want to promote, show it on the landing page and measure the resulting calls before expanding to more services.

Pest control companies account for 33 Jefferson County establishments. If that is your trade, the treatments you provide and the locations you cover should decide the keyword list. We exclude services you do not sell so your budget stays focused on jobs you can book.

Account setup and care

Keep the campaign connected from search to booking

The account starts with a defined offer and working measurement, then gets adjusted as the calls reveal what is working.

1

Set the boundaries of the test

We agree on services, locations and starting spend, with your schedule and job values in view. An existing account gets reviewed for searches and campaigns worth keeping.

2

Verify how leads are recorded

We test call tracking and form conversions before relying on the report. Where appropriate, CRM conversion imports connect later sales activity to the advertising.

3

Match the ad to the service page

The ad text and landing page describe the same job and coverage. Negative keywords exclude unwanted searches, while bids and location settings focus the budget.

4

Maintain and refine the account

During the first 30 days, we review the campaigns daily; weekly reviews follow. Search terms, bids and lead results guide the changes, with your booking feedback informing budget decisions.

What every Google Ads account includes

The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.

FAQ

How do we decide if Louisville PPC is affordable for our trade?

Start with the value of a booked job and the share of leads you turn into customers. We compare those with click prices and the landing page to recommend a test budget. A smaller company can concentrate on a specific service and area, then expand only when the lead costs support it.

What does Lithium charge to run the ads?

Management starts from $500 a month, plus ad spend. The fee depends on ad spend, the channels we manage and landing page work. We discuss those costs separately so you know how much goes to the agency and how much buys advertising before the campaigns start.

How quickly can a paid-search test tell us anything?

Initial results typically appear within the first week of a campaign running. A lead is only the beginning of the evaluation: we also need to know if the service matched and if it booked. We use that feedback with the search-term and conversion reports to make the next spending decision.

Can we advertise only the services our crews have room for?

Campaigns can focus on the jobs your schedule can accommodate. Tell us when a service is booked out, a crew changes or you want more estimates for a particular type of project. We can adjust the offer and spending accordingly, while keeping lead tracking consistent enough to compare performance.

What terms apply if we hire you for PPC?

Expect an initial six-month agreement, then month-to-month service with 30 days’ notice. The scope states the management fee and work involved. You also set the ad budget with us, so the agreement and the amount spent on media are clear before launch.
