Make the budget count

Memphis marketing starts with the jobs you want

Lithium Marketing connects customer searches, your website and phone answering into a marketing plan for Memphis service businesses. The phrase “marketing agency memphis” gets about 110 searches a month. If you're comparing agencies, ask each one which part of your current marketing it would fix first and how you would know the work paid off.

You can hire us for a single service. A roofer whose estimate form loses submissions needs a different first investment from a landscaper whose best services are hard to find. We look at the calls you get, the work they produce and the capacity you want to fill before recommending services.

Who hires you

Plan for property owners and the people calling for them

Within Memphis city, 44.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. If you serve rentals, your website should explain how a tenant or property manager starts a request and who needs to authorize the work. Carry those instructions through to the person or system answering the phone.

Across Shelby County, 54.5% of homes were built before 1980. If repairs and upgrades are part of your business, show completed work on existing homes alongside larger projects. A customer should recognize the problem you solve before being asked to book.

Businesses competing for attention

Make the reason to hire you easy to see

Landscaping services account for 200 establishments in Shelby County. A lawn-care offer and an installation project need different photos, service descriptions and estimate questions. Give your strongest work enough space that customers can tell what makes your company a fit.

Shelby County has 69 new home building establishments. For builders, as for roofers and other project trades, explain what happens between requesting an estimate and starting work. Marketing should prepare a customer for that decision, not leave your team to explain everything after the call.

From spending to results

Build a plan around a job you can book

The aim is to know what brings work before asking you to spend more.

1

Set the business target

Tell us which jobs you want more of and which locations you want to serve. We check how well your website and campaigns attract that work.

2

Follow a customer through the process

We inspect search visibility, service pages, forms and call handling to find where a prospective customer gets stuck.

3

Put the first improvement to work

The recommendation may be a site rebuild, search work, an ad campaign or phone answering. We agree on its scope and measurement before starting.

4

Compare leads with completed jobs

Reports show where contacts came from. Your team's booking information helps us decide which services to expand and which spending to change.

FAQ

Deciding what to hire Lithium to do

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Can we improve conversion rates without rebuilding everything?

Often, the first step is fixing a specific obstacle to calling or requesting an estimate. We check your current pages and tracking before recommending a rebuild. If the site already attracts visitors, clearer service copy, stronger project examples or a better form may be the work to prioritize.

How should a small Memphis company set its marketing budget?

Start with the jobs you can profitably take on and the amount you can sustain while testing. SEO runs $1,300–$3,000 a month; Google Ads management starts from $500 a month, plus ad spend. We explain the recommended scope and costs before you choose a service, including any website or phone work.

Who will I work with during the project?

A co-founder guides strategy, and Allison McKenney handles day-to-day questions as your account manager. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. You can review the work and discuss the next priorities without leaving your business.

What commitment comes with a marketing program?

The usual agreement begins with six months, then continues month to month with 30 days' notice. The AI receptionist has no contract. We put the selected services and their terms in writing, so you can distinguish a website project from an ongoing monthly program before signing.

Can you tell if the extra calls become profitable work?

Your booking and sales information makes that possible. We track marketing contacts, then use the outcomes your business records to judge the work they brought. A campaign producing many calls but few suitable jobs needs a different decision from one generating fewer calls that your team regularly books.
