Reach customers ready to hire
Give Memphis customers a reason to choose your business
Lithium Marketing helps Memphis service businesses earn calls from Google through SEO. Searches for “roofing company memphis” average 720 a month. A roofer needs a page that answers the buyer's questions about the work, backed by completed projects and an easy way to request an estimate.
That approach carries across plumbing, electrical, landscaping and other home services. We choose search targets from your service list, improve the pages customers reach and work on the business profile they see before visiting your site. Your report connects that activity with calls and leads.
The search before the call
Build for the question a customer is asking
“Electrician memphis” receives about 590 searches a month. For an electrical contractor, the broad search is a starting point: panel upgrades, repairs and other services you provide need explanations of their own. We research those jobs before deciding which pages deserve the most attention.
When we checked “plumber memphis”, the local business listings displayed 4,400, 141 and 173 reviews. Give customers a way to see how you've handled work like theirs, and make asking completed customers for feedback part of your process. Yelp, Houzz and Thumbtack appeared among the organic results; accurate profiles on those services give buyers another place to check your business.

Where the next job is
Make Memphis coverage specific enough to act on
Memphis city covers about 290 square miles of land. Name the parts of the city you serve, and use area pages where you can add job examples and details that help customers. Repeating the same service description with a different place name doesn't help a customer decide to call.
Metropolitan Memphis extends into Arkansas and Mississippi. If you take work across state lines, describe those cities separately from Memphis. Keep your service areas accurate on the website and Google profile so a customer can establish coverage before asking for an appointment.

Stand out within your trade
Give buyers more than a business name
The plumbing, heating and air-conditioning category contains 221 establishments in Shelby County. Show what your company does particularly well: the services you provide, photos of your work and answers to the questions your customers bring to an estimate. Those details give your search pages a purpose beyond repeating a keyword.
For the 38 painting contractors recorded in Shelby County, a service page can explain preparation, surfaces and what an estimate covers. A similar level of detail helps a landscaper explain installation work. Specific job information earns its place even when the customer has never heard of your company.

The SEO work
Turn the service list into a search strategy
We prioritize the pages and profile work most closely connected to the jobs you want.
1
Find gaps between searches and pages
We compare the jobs you sell with search terms and your existing pages. Important services without a strong page go on the work list.
2
Repair the technical obstacles
We check indexing, internal links and page performance, then fix problems that prevent customers or search engines from reaching your content.
3
Add the details that earn trust
Your project photos and job knowledge shape the copy. We improve the Google profile, check directory information and support customer review requests.
4
Review which searches produced leads
Monthly reporting covers visibility and contacts. We use those results to choose further content and link work, with your booking feedback informing the priorities.
What every SEO retainer includes
The same eight parts go into every SEO retainer, wherever the business is.
- Technical SEO foundation
- Keywords tied to revenue per lead
- On-page SEO on every page
- Content that answers buyers
- Google Business Profile and citations

FAQ
Buying SEO with a clear measure of progress
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What determines the monthly SEO quote for my business?
The amount of work your site needs and the services you want to grow determine the scope. Typical retainers cost $1,300–$3,000 a month. We consider revenue per lead when choosing priorities, then explain the technical fixes, pages and ongoing work that belong in your proposal.
How soon should I look for a change in search performance?
Early technical improvements usually show movement within 30 days. Local and more specific search terms typically take 60 to 90 days, with revenue tending to build from month four. We track leads during that work so you can discuss progress against business results as well as search positions.
Is SEO a sensible expense for a small service crew?
It can be, if the work you want has search demand and enough value to support an ongoing retainer. We'll discuss capacity, margins and your existing leads before recommending it. For a small crew, a few profitable services may be enough to focus the search plan.
Does SEO include Google Maps and AI search work?
The retainer covers your Google Business Profile and content that search and AI systems can read. That includes accurate business details, structured data and direct answers to customer questions. Google controls map placement, and AI systems choose their own sources; neither a map position nor an AI mention is promised.
What do you need from the owner during SEO?
Your service knowledge and feedback on lead quality are the most valuable inputs. We also need access to the site and business profile, plus permission to use project photos and customer material. You review factual details so the pages reflect how you perform the work and where you can take jobs.
