Click costs first

Pocatello PPC that starts with the click price

Lithium Marketing runs Pocatello Google Ads for service businesses, and the account stays in your name. The monthly report shows calls, leads and cost per lead. A click on “plumber pocatello” averages $33.31, so one wasted click matters, and the campaign has to be aimed at a call that gets answered.

Other trade searches cost less: “garage door repair pocatello” averages $15.30, with “pest control pocatello” at $11.50 and “electrician pocatello” at $8.66. That spread decides where a Pocatello budget starts, because a plumbing click and an electrical click need different offers and different landing pages.

The market around the city

The metro area your ads can cover

A Pocatello campaign can reach 91,591 people across the metro area. If the ads stop at the city limits, customers in the rest of the county may not see them, so the targeting should cover the county and the towns inside it.

Pocatello added 3.6% more residents between 2020 and 2025. The campaign should be built around the searches that happen every month, because those are the calls the budget can plan around.

Trades in Bannock County

Which trades can carry a Pocatello ad budget

Bannock County has 22 electrical contractors and 4 pest control companies. Both trades sell work that can usually be scheduled, which makes them a fit for a paid test: one campaign per service, a landing page that matches the ad and a budget small enough to read the cost per lead.

Roofing is a smaller field: 8 contractors in the county. A roofing campaign should separate repair from replacement, because the two jobs need different offers and different landing pages.

The first 30 days

The first month of a Pocatello ad account

Tracking goes in before the budget moves. The fee runs from $500 a month in management, plus ad spend, and the first month is spent reading what the clicks brought.

1

Start from the current account

If you already have an account, we go through the campaigns, the search terms and the conversion tags before changing anything.

2

Mark the calls and forms

Conversion tracking goes on the quote form and the phone number before any campaign spends money.

3

Build one campaign per service

Each service you want more of gets its own campaign and landing page, with negative keywords that keep the wrong searches out.

4

Check bids daily for 30 days

Bids and search terms get reviewed every day through the first month, then weekly, against your ad spend and cost per lead.

What every Google Ads account includes

The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.

“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.”

FAQ

Google Ads questions Pocatello owners bring up

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Who owns the Google Ads account?

You do. Lithium sets it up in your business name, with your billing and your login, and you keep the account and its history if you stop working with us.

What does the management fee cover?

It covers the work on the account: campaigns, landing pages, bids, search terms and the monthly report. The fee starts at $500 a month in management, plus ad spend, and scales with your ad spend, the channels we run and the landing page work.

How much should a Pocatello business spend on ads?

Enough to buy calls at a price the work can carry. The click prices above show why two trades start at different budgets: the budget follows what a lead is worth to you and what a click costs in your trade.

When do the first calls come in?

Calls usually start in the first week once tracking is live. The first 30 days get daily attention on bids and search terms, then the account moves to a weekly check.

Can you run ads on Facebook and Instagram too?

Yes. Google is not the only paid channel Lithium runs; Microsoft Ads and Facebook and Instagram ads are on the list too. A second channel earns its place when your buyers spend time there or the Google auction in your trade gets expensive. The first month stays on the lowest-cost calls, then we test the next channel.
