The short answer
How one agency covers a San Antonio trade business
For a San Antonio service business, Lithium Marketing takes on the website, SEO, Google Ads and AI phone answering as one plan with one set of call tracking. You see which piece produced each call, and the money moves toward the work that books jobs.
The market is big and still growing. The San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area is home to 2,813,140 people, and the city itself grew 8% between 2020 and 2025. Many newcomers won’t know which plumber, roofer or landscaper has the best name in town, which puts more weight on what they find online, so your site, your Google profile, your ads and the way your phone gets answered all have to tell the same story.

Searches in San Antonio
What San Antonio search numbers say about where to spend
“Pest control san antonio” and “plumber san antonio” each draw about 4,400 searches a month, and the trade table shows several more in the thousands. At that size a trade earns its own service page, and the SEO work and the ads should send people to that same page, so a visit from either one lands on the job the customer searched for.
Owners shop for help too: about 720 searches a month look for a “marketing agency san antonio”. If you are comparing proposals, ask whether each service is priced on its own and whether the report counts calls or only clicks. Ours are priced separately, the prices are listed below, and every report is built on tracked calls.

Mapping your service area
Two loops, old houses and new ones
Two highway loops ring the city: Loop 410, a 53-mile inner beltway, and Loop 1604, a 96-mile outer beltway. If your crews stay inside Loop 410, or won’t go past Loop 1604, your website, your Google Business Profile service area and your ad targeting should all draw the same line, so you aren’t paying for clicks from neighborhoods you won’t drive to.
The housing changes with the area too. Inside San Antonio, 15.1% of homes were built in 2010 or later; across Bexar County the share is 21.4%. Older homes bring repair and replacement calls and newer ones bring upgrades and add-ons, so a plan that covers the county gives each kind of work its own pages and ads.

Trades in Bexar County
Bexar County’s biggest trades and what they need from marketing
Bexar County has 523 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, 346 residential remodelers, 339 electrical contractors and 312 landscaping services, the four biggest groups on the chart. With that many names on offer, your listing needs reviews, real photos and a page that names the exact job before a customer has a reason to pick it over the next one, so those get built first.
The groups also sell in different ways. Remodelers, builders and landscapers sell projects, so the site, the ads and any follow-up text should all lead to an estimate request. Plumbing, HVAC and electrical companies sell a lot of urgent repairs, so their phone number belongs at the top of every page and every call needs an answer.

How we start
Building a San Antonio plan in the right order
The first month is for counting: nothing gets more budget until we know which calls it produced.
1
Count today’s calls first
We put tracking numbers and form tags in place before changing anything, which gives a baseline: how many calls you get now and which source sent each one.
2
Repair or rebuild the website
SEO and ads both send people to your site, so a slow page or a buried phone number gets fixed before we pay to send more visitors there.
3
Split SEO and ads by trade
Trades with costly clicks lean on SEO and the Map Pack; trades with cheap clicks, like landscaping, can run Google Ads while the pages climb.
4
Cover the phone around the clock
The AI receptionist answers every call 24/7 under your rules, and if you want more, we scope automations for review requests and job follow-ups.
A close match
Website, SEO and Google Ads working for a septic company
Lithium has no San Antonio case study to show, so here is the closest match: Byers Septic Service, a septic company that hired Lithium for a new website, SEO and Google Ads, with the results of all three on the card. The quote beside it is from Chris Martin of Mt. Hood Pro Painting, talking about the leads his painting business has had since it started using Lithium.
Septic“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 PaintingBeyond the city
Taking work outside San Antonio
New Braunfels is part of the San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area, and its page sits below with Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Killeen and Corpus Christi. Open any of them for that city’s own trade searches and housing mix, enough to judge what a second market would add to your plan before you commit budget there; the state page covers the rest of Texas.

FAQ
What San Antonio owners want settled first
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Can you run my marketing without anyone in San Antonio?
We can, because the work lives on Google, on your website and on your phone line. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. You get a co-founder for strategy and Allison McKenney, the account manager, for the week-to-week details.
Where should a San Antonio contractor start?
Start by finding the leak. We add call tracking and look at three things: how many calls go unanswered, how your site works on a phone and where you show up for your main trade search. The weakest of the three gets fixed first, and spending on the others waits until the numbers say it should move.
Can I keep my current website or ad account?
Often, yes. If the site loads fast, works on a phone and is in your name, SEO and Google Ads can build on it. If you own the ad account, we keep the campaigns that bring calls and rework the rest. We recommend a rebuild only when the site itself is costing you calls.
Will I see which service brought in each job?
Yes. Every service reports into the same call tracking, so your monthly report breaks calls and leads out by source: organic search, the Map Pack, Google Ads and calls the AI receptionist answered. Mark which leads booked and the report carries them through to the job.
What contract does a San Antonio plan run on?
Most services begin with a six-month agreement and switch to month to month after that, with 30 days’ notice to cancel. The AI receptionist has no contract at all. Each service is priced on its own, so adding or dropping one changes only that line of the bill.
