Start with the gap

Four services, one plan for Ontario

One plan covers the website, the search work, the ads and the phones for an Ontario service business, and Lithium Marketing runs all four. The Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metro area holds 4,769,007 people, so the cities you serve, the pages you publish and the ads you buy should share one map.

Ontario grew 6.7% from 2020 to 2025, and San Bernardino County lists hundreds of contractors across its major trades. Growth can bring first-time customers who do not know the established names, so a clear service page and a review habit matter more than another ad.

The Ontario market

What Ontario homes say about the work you sell

Ontario’s median home value is $607,600, and 58.0% of Ontario’s occupied homes are owner-occupied. High-value owner housing rewards proof: finished-work photos, reviews from the same neighborhoods and a service page for the jobs those homes need.

The age of the housing also sets the service mix. Repair and replacement work sits beside remodel and new-build work, so the website needs a page for each and the Google profile needs the categories to match. A single service list leaves the buyer to guess which kind of job you take.

Trades in San Bernardino County

Which trades fill San Bernardino County

San Bernardino County has 566 residential remodelers, 563 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors and 499 electrical contractors. With numbers like those, a page that lists every service in one block gives Google and the customer nothing to match.

San Bernardino County also has 324 landscaping companies, 304 new home builders, 181 painting contractors, 165 roofing contractors and 161 excavation and site preparation contractors. The largest groups reward a page per service plus a review habit; the smaller ones can start with one strong page and add pages as calls come.

The order of work

What gets done first in Ontario

The order follows the leak: the page that loses the customer gets fixed before any budget grows.

1

Repair the handoff

The page a customer lands on gets the photos, phone link and form it needs before more traffic is pointed at it.

2

Count what arrives

Tracking goes on before more traffic does: calls and forms get tagged at the site, the profile and the ads, then the first report shows which service already produces work.

3

Build the service pages

SEO and ads each get their own landing pages, one per service and city, so both can be judged on calls.

4

Staff the phone

The receptionist answers around the clock, and follow-up texts and review requests can run as custom automation, scoped after a discovery call.

Proof

Three services behind one glass company’s gains

The quote card names Kevin Atiyeh. He runs Atiyeh Bros, a carpet and rug company. The case card features Town & Country Glass, a commercial glass company in Portland that hired Lithium for a new website, SEO and Google Ads; the numbers come from that combined work.

Around Ontario

Marketing beyond the Ontario city line

Six nearby city pages sit below, from Rancho Cucamonga to Rialto, plus the Inland Empire page for the metro and the California page for the rest of the state. If your trucks cross the city line, those pages show how the plan covers the same services in each place.

Pricing

What each service costs an Ontario business

Lithium publishes a typical price for four of its five services, and AI automation is quoted after a free discovery call. Your proposal depends on scope, competition and ad spend.

Conversion web design

$5,000

typical project

Larger sites with more pages or integrations get a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call. Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch.

SEO

$1,300–$3,000

per month

Typical local SEO retainer, scoped against your revenue per lead.

Google Ads management

From $500

per month

Plus ad spend. Typical: $500–$1,500 a month in management, plus ad spend of $2,000–$5,000 a month.

AI receptionist

$179

per month

Fully managed. No contracts, cancel anytime. Live in days.

AI automation

Scoped

after discovery

Clear, upfront pricing after a free discovery call. Custom builds typically take 1–2 weeks.

Optional hosting and maintenance: $99/month. Secure private hosting on a dedicated high-speed server, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes are all included. Most clients choose this option to keep their new website updated and running smoothly; it is not required.

Our usual service agreement starts with six months, then continues month to month with 30 days’ cancellation notice. Your written agreement sets the final terms. The AI receptionist has no contract.

FAQ

Ontario marketing questions before you hire

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How do the four services share one budget?

You pay for the services you hire, and each one carries its own price. Tracking shows which service brings calls, and that result decides where the next dollar goes. We do not spread a budget evenly across four services to keep every one of them busy.

What does the first month of an Ontario plan look like?

The first month is tracking, then the first fixes. We add call and form tracking, review the site and Google profile, and agree on the two or three services that should move first. You see the setup before anything goes live, and the report begins with the calls you already get.

What is it like to work with Lithium from Ontario?

By video, phone and email. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. A co-founder takes the strategy calls, and day-to-day questions go to an account manager.

What happens if one service outperforms the rest?

We move budget toward it. If Google Ads books more work than expected, the ad spend can grow while SEO keeps building pages. If the phone is the weak link, the AI receptionist goes in next. The monthly report makes that call with calls and booked jobs, not impressions.

Are the prices you publish what I will pay?

They are the published prices, and the proposal matches them to your scope. SEO is a range because markets differ, a website costs more only when it needs more pages, and AI automation is scoped after a free discovery call. There is no haggling and no hidden upsells.
