The whole program
Lithium Marketing is the marketing partner Newport News service businesses hire for the website, the search work, the ads and the phone line, all pointed at booked jobs. The Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk metro area holds 1,797,213 people, so the customers you want are spread across Hampton Roads, not stacked inside the city line.
That reach cuts both ways. A business in Newport News competes with companies from across the region, so all four services should agree on the same list of cities and the same message. Newport News has 3,788 business establishments, and plenty of them sell the repair, remodel or maintenance work you do. When the site, the search work, the ads and the phone line tell one story, a customer in Hampton and a customer in Denbigh get the same answer, and you can see which channel produced the call.
Four services
Pick the piece that is losing you the most work today. Each card leads to that service’s page for Newport News, and the others can follow when the calls justify the cost.
The searches that matter
Trade searches are the clearest signal of work in this market. “Plumber newport news” draws 590 searches a month, and “pest control newport news” also draws 590. Those customers have a problem today, and the page they land on either names the service or sends them back to Google.
The plan starts with a page for each service you sell, then adds the city pages and the profile work that put those pages in front of the searcher. When the calendar needs work sooner, Google Ads can carry the same offer; when calls arrive, the receptionist answers them.

The local market
Newport News has 82,052 housing units, and 48.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Your intake should work for the owner who approves the work and for the tenant or property manager who reports the repair.
51.3% of the city’s homes were built before 1980, and the median home value is $260,600. Older houses mean repair, replacement and remodel work, and the site should show finished jobs before it asks for a call.

Who builds and repairs here
Newport News city has 66 residential remodelers, 56 landscaping companies and 21 new home builders. Those three groups sell projects that need a portfolio, a clear scope and a way to sort a real job from a price shopper.
Newport News city also has 33 painting contractors and 31 electrical contractors. In a market that size, the business that wins is the one with a page for each service, photos of finished work and a profile that matches the page.

The order we work in
We start with the part of the chain that loses the most jobs, then add the rest as the numbers support it.
Call tracking goes on the website, the Google Business Profile and any live ads, so the first report shows which jobs came from search, ads or repeat customers.
If the site is slow on a phone or hides the number, we rebuild that first, because every other service sends customers to it.
SEO gets a page for each service and city you sell, and Google Ads covers the jobs you need in the calendar sooner.
The AI receptionist answers calls at any hour, including during jobs, books what it can and sends the rest to your team.
Proof from a client
The garden center on the card is Drake’s 7 Dees. Lithium rebuilt its site, ran its SEO and managed its Google Ads, and the card reports what that work produced. Daniel Busby, president of Willard Power Vac, an air duct, dryer vent and chimney business, is quoted beside it.

“Lithium Marketing has been amazing for our business. They have greatly increased our web traffic and helped us land hundreds of jobs. Before we started using Lithium we were sitting on page 8 in google. We are now sitting in the top spots in all the areas we do work.”

Each city page carries its own search figures. Hampton and Norfolk head the list, with Suffolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach and Richmond after them, and the Virginia page covers the rest.

FAQ
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Start with one service if that is where the gap is. A website or a Google Ads account can run on its own, and SEO or the AI receptionist can be added once the first piece is producing calls. Each service has its own published price, so the plan grows without renegotiating the whole agreement.
The pricing block above lists each service, so you can add only the pieces you need. Where you land depends on how many services you take, how many pages the site needs and what a booked job is worth. A larger website or a custom automation project gets a fixed scope before work starts.
Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. Your first call is with a co-founder, and Allison McKenney, the account manager, handles day-to-day questions.
The trade chart is a snapshot of establishment counts, not a list of who can win searches. A smaller trade with a clear service page, an accurate Google Business Profile and a habit of asking for reviews can compete for the searches that matter. We start from the work you sell and the searches that name it.
Your website address, the services you want more of and the cities you cover. If you run ads, send the account name and the last report. A co-founder uses those to show which pages and calls need attention, and the call is a short video conversation, not a sales pitch.
Free action plan
Tell us what you sell, where you work and the jobs you want more of. You get three named moves and what each one costs after a short video call with a co-founder.
