Start with the numbers

Where the four services meet in Peoria

One plan for the website, the search results, the ads and the phone is what a Peoria service business needs when four vendors report four different numbers. Lithium Marketing runs that plan, and it starts with tracking, so the first report shows which calls came from search, which came from an ad and which came from a Google profile the customer saw first. The Peoria metro area holds 363,505 people, and a contractor who works across it needs one set of numbers.

Peoria County’s trade mix is broad: 67 landscaping services work alongside 64 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, and each group buys marketing for a different reason. If your crews are booked out on project work, the plan leads with estimates for projects you can schedule. If a plumber’s calls come at 9 pm, the plan starts with a phone that gets answered. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video, and the scope is agreed before any work starts.

The Peoria market

The housing stock behind the work you sell

Peoria has 54,010 housing units and 57.5% of the occupied homes belong to their owners, so a page can address the person who approves the work. In Peoria, a median year built of 1966 and a 69.0% share of homes built before 1980 describe most of the housing stock. Those houses are the ones your roof, furnace, panel and drain pages should cover, and each page gives the owner a place to describe what is wrong.

Peoria’s population fell 2.0% between 2020 and 2025, to 110,920 residents. A city that is not adding residents does not create new customers, so the work comes from being the company a homeowner finds first when a job comes up. Reviews, a fast page and a phone that gets answered matter more than a new logo.

Trades in Peoria County

Which county trades have the most businesses

Peoria County lists 67 landscaping services, more than any other home trade in the county. Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors come next at 64, and residential remodelers at 47. With that many businesses selling the same work, a page that shows your own reviews and finished jobs separates you from the next name on the list.

Roofing and pest control are worth their own pages too. Peoria County has 12 roofing contractors and 6 pest control companies. If roofing or pest work is what you want more of, give it a page and an ad group of its own, and let your reviews explain why the call should come to you.

The order of work

What gets fixed first, and what follows

We start with what your phone and form data can already show, then add the service that closes the biggest gap.

1

Count what arrives now

Tracking goes on the site, the profile and any ads already running, and the first report names the source of every call and form that comes in.

2

Fix the first handoff

A slow page on a phone or a form that asks for too much gets fixed before anything else, because the other three services all send people there.

3

Layer in search and ads

Search work adds a page for each service you sell, and paid ads go after the work you need booked this month.

4

Answer the calls the work earns

The AI receptionist answers every call, books what it can and transfers the rest under rules you approve.

FAQ

What Peoria owners ask before choosing a plan

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Which of the four services should a Peoria business start with?

Follow the job backwards. A call nobody picks up points at the receptionist; a page that loads slowly on a phone points at the designer; a business nobody can find points at search. On the first call, a co-founder reads your tracking and your site and names the one to fix.

Can we hire one service and add the rest later?

You can start with the service that fixes your first problem, then add the next one when the reporting shows it earns its place. Call tracking is shared across all four, so later work is judged on the same calls and leads as the first project.

How long is the service agreement?

The usual service agreement starts with six months and then runs month to month with 30 days’ notice. The AI receptionist is the exception: no contract at all. We ask for the first six months because search and ads need time to show what they can do.

What moves the monthly total when we add a service?

Four separate quotes, one shared report. A small site with a form is the simpler website quote, a one-location plumber after repair calls sits near the bottom of the SEO range, and a company with several service lines and thin pages sits higher. Those published prices cover the standard scope, and the proposal names the number when your scope is larger.

Does Lithium work with a two-truck shop or only larger companies?

Both. A two-truck plumber and a company with several crews get the same published prices and the same co-founder on the first call. What changes is the scope: a small shop may need one service and a tight service area, while a larger company needs a page for each service and a wider service area.
