What a website has to explain
A Parkersburg website written for the houses you work in
Parkersburg's median year built is 1956, which puts a house's age in the middle of almost every estimate. Lithium Marketing builds websites for home service businesses in Parkersburg, and the first job is to make each photo carry a caption: what changed, what stayed, and what a customer should send you to get a real number.
A customer reading on a phone, standing in front of the house, is who the page is built for. The page should open with the service and a way to call, show two or three photos with captions that name the work, and end with a form that asks for the property address, the job and a way to reach them. That form is the point of the site. Everything else exists to get someone to fill it in or call.
What a website is worth here
What the web design searches say about this market
“Web design parkersburg” shows about 10 searches a month, so a website's value here is not in ranking for the phrase that sells websites. It is in the pages a customer reads after searching for the work: a roof, a repipe, a new deck, a wasp problem. Those pages are what your site is for, and each one should read like it was written for the trade that owns it.
The same logic applies to the homepage. A visitor who lands there from a truck, a referral or a social post needs three things in the first screen: what you do, where you do it and how to reach you. Put the services up top, name Parkersburg and the towns you cover, and make the phone number tappable. A customer who has to scroll to find a number will try the next result instead.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|

| web designer parkersburg | under 10 | not reported |

The housing stock
What old houses ask a service page to say
Wood County's housing share built before 1980 is 66.2%, and a replacement quote on a house that age has to explain what is behind the wall. Photos of the opened wall, the old pipe or the patched panel are the most persuasive thing on the page, and a caption that says what the crew found turns a picture into a reason to call.
Owners occupy 75.1% of the occupied homes in Wood County, so most of the people reading your pages are deciding about a house they own. The Little Kanawha River divides the north and south sides of the city, and South Parkersburg was a separate city until it became part of Parkersburg in 1950, so a page can name the side of town and mean it. A tenant or a property manager should still find a line that says who to contact.

The trades behind the pages
Which Parkersburg trades need which photos
Wood County has 3 painting contractors, 8 excavation and site preparation contractors and 7 roofing contractors, and each one sells a different kind of photograph. A painter sells finish and color, an excavator sells a site that drains, a roofer sells a line that no longer leaks. The page should show the photo that proves the thing you are selling.
The bigger trades need the same treatment at a different scale. Wood County has 20 residential remodelers and 18 landscaping services, and for both, the finished room or the finished yard is the photo that does the selling. Wood County's share of housing built in 2010 or later is 6.1%, so a new-build page covers a small slice of the housing stock; most of the houses your pages describe were built before then.

From photos to launch
From the first photo to launch day
Collect the jobs, write the captions, build the pages, then test the form on a phone.
1
Pick the jobs worth showing
Choose the projects that match the work you want more of, and confirm you have permission to use each photo.
2
Write the caption before the page
Every photo gets a line that says what changed, what stayed and which trade did the work. The caption decides where the photo belongs.
3
Build the pages around one job each
A service page for the work, a place page for the towns you cover, and a homepage that names both in the first screen.
4
Test the form in a driveway
Send a test request from a phone outside a job, check that the message arrives with the address and the job, and fix whatever is missing.

A garden-center case
Drake's 7 Dees: new website, SEO and Google Ads
Drake's 7 Dees is the garden center whose card sits beside this text; its figures come from the new website, SEO and Google Ads that Lithium handled for it. Chris Martin of Mt. Hood Pro Painting gives the recommendation beside it.
Garden center“Ever since we've used Lithium Marketing, our phone has been ringing off the hook and we can hardly keep up with the leads we get from Google, Facebook or through our website. Most of our leads other than referrals are through Google and it's all because of Lithium Marketing.”
Chris MartinMt. Hood Pro PaintingAround Parkersburg
Towns worth naming on your own site
If your crews work in Vienna or any of the cities below, that town is a candidate for a page of its own. Columbus and Pittsburgh are in other states, so their pages carry the state name. Start with the town you already serve this month, and let the pages grow as the work does.
Published price
What a Parkersburg website costs
$5,000
typical project
Larger sites get a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call. Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch. You own the domain, hosting account, WordPress install and content.
What does a Parkersburg website cost, and what moves the number?
The published price covers a typical service business site, and most builds land near it. More pages, a booking flow or a second brand under the same roof push the figure up, and we quote the larger scope in writing before the build starts.
How long does the build take?
Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch for a typical service business site. The photos and the copy are what stretch it: a build with approved project pictures and one person who can sign off on page text moves fastest.
Do we own the site when it is finished?
You do. The domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install and the content are in your name, and the site stays with you if the work ever stops. You get the logins at launch, and the accounts stay under your business.
Can you use photos from our old site or a phone?
Yes, if they are sharp enough and you have permission to use them. Old site photos are often small, so a phone shot taken in good light on the finished job is usually better. Send what you have and we will tell you which ones are usable before the build starts.
What happens after launch if we need a change?
New pages and design changes are quoted as a small project. The optional $99 a month plan covers hosting, daily backups, software and security updates and basic website changes, which is what most clients keep it for.
Free action plan
Bring the photos that show what you changed
Pick the jobs you would show a neighbor, and send those photos with a link to the current site. A co-founder goes through them on a short video call and says which ones belong on a page and what each caption should say.
