The Rochester plan

What one marketing plan covers for a Rochester business

Lithium Marketing runs the website, local search, Google Ads and phone answering for Rochester service businesses as one plan, with a co-founder on the first call and one account manager after that. The four services share one set of numbers, so a call that starts on a search result and ends in an estimate on the calendar belongs to one report that covers all four.

Rochester has 33,716 residents, and 66.0% of Rochester's occupied homes are owner-occupied. For the owner who approves the work, the site has to show the scope and the next step, so we write for that reader and keep the phone number in reach.

The city and its edges

Rochester is 45 square miles, and its neighbors are their own cities

Rochester covers 45 square miles, and the city sits inside Strafford County, which has 135,043 residents. The county is not the service area, so a page that promises every address in it writes checks the crew cannot cash.

The city line works the same way. A business that works in Dover or Somersworth needs those names on the page and in the ad targeting, and a business that stays inside Rochester should say so, because a service-area promise the crew cannot keep costs more than the lead is worth.

The county trade mix

Landscaping leads Strafford County, and the repair trades follow

Strafford County has 71 landscaping services and 67 electrical contractors, and 51 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. A landscaper needs pages for the services it sells, an electrician needs a page for each kind of job, and a plumbing and heating company needs both emergency and planned-work pages.

Strafford County has 41 residential remodelers. A remodeler sells a large, infrequent purchase, so the site has to carry project photos, a clear scope and a next step; the smaller trades need the same care on a shorter page.

The order of work

How a Rochester plan gets built

We put the tracking in before anything else, so the first month of calls has an owner.

1

Count what the phone already does

We put call and form tracking on the site, the profile and the ads, so the first month has a baseline.

2

Choose the first service by the gap

If the site loses people on a phone, start there; if the site is sound, start with search or ads and let the calls decide the next step.

3

Build the pages the searches ask for

Each trade you sell gets a page, and each town you cover gets its own, so a customer lands on the answer that matches the search.

4

Keep a person on the other end

The AI receptionist answers every call under your rules, and custom automation is scoped separately when a task repeats.

Proof

Byers Septic Service: website, SEO and Google Ads

Byers Septic Service is a septic company that brought Lithium in for a new website, SEO and Google Ads. The card's numbers come from that work. Daniel Busby of Willard Power Vac, an air duct, dryer vent and chimney cleaning business, describes his own experience with Lithium in the quote beside it.

FAQ

Before you sign: questions from Rochester owners

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

The website and the ads both feel weak. Which comes first?

The tracking decides. A slow page on a phone points at the site; a fast page with quiet phones points at search or ads. A co-founder reads the calls with you before you choose a service.

Can I hire one service and add the others later?

Start with one service, then add another when the calls justify it. You can begin with the website, SEO, Google Ads or the AI receptionist on its own. Each service is priced on its own, so the total grows only when you add one.

How does a Rochester business work with Lithium from Portland, Oregon?

You meet a co-founder on the first call, and one account manager answers questions from then on. The first call works through your own numbers, and you leave with a plan. Design reviews and monthly reports happen on a screen share, because our whole team works by video: Lithium is headquartered in Portland, with team members in Portland, Bend and Seattle, and we work with every client by video.

What happens to the website and the ad account if we part ways?

You keep the website, the domain and the Google Ads account. The site sits in your WordPress install and hosting account, the domain is registered to you, and the ad account is set up in your business's name, so its history stays with you.

What does a plan cost, and what changes the number?

The total is the sum of the services you choose. SEO sits in a monthly range, the Google Ads fee follows ad spend and landing-page work, and a typical website has a published project price. A co-founder puts the numbers for your business on one page before you choose.
