Sandy PPC, answered
Where a Sandy Google Ads budget goes first
A single “garage door repair sandy ut” click averages $123.59. At that price, a Sandy Google Ads account that cannot name the keyword behind a call is guessing, so Lithium Marketing wires call tracking in before the budget moves.
The management fee starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend, and it is separate from what Google charges for the clicks. The Google Ads account is opened in your name, and Lithium works inside it. We agree the budget and the fee before the first campaign goes live, then report on calls, leads and cost per lead.
Click costs in Sandy
What Sandy trade clicks cost, and where to start
“electrician sandy ut” averages $73.37 a click and “hvac repair sandy ut” $19.84. The gap does not make the cheaper trade the better buy; what matters is what a booked job is worth. A $19.84 click that turns into a furnace replacement can beat a $73.37 click that brings a request you cannot take.
When we checked “plumber sandy ut”, no ads showed at all, and the Map Pack came first. That is one look on one day. It does not mean the auction is empty, so we check the live account and the searches that arrive before moving budget.

The Sandy market
Budget around owner-occupied homes
75.2% of Sandy’s occupied homes are owner-occupied, so a repair ad should speak to the person who pays the bill. That shapes the landing page: the copy names the work, the coverage and the next step, without asking a tenant to approve a job.
The Jordan River forms part of Sandy’s western border with West Jordan and South Jordan. If your crews cross it, the campaign should name every city you serve, because a searcher in West Jordan is a different target than one in Sandy.

Trades in Salt Lake County
Which trades get the campaign, and how hard to bid
Salt Lake County has 385 electrical contractors and 134 roofing contractors. A roofer with one sharp landing page can compete for the searches that fit the work, while an electrician selling several services needs a campaign and a page for each one it wants to sell.
The county also has 44 pest control companies, and “water damage restoration sandy ut” draws 10 searches a month. A search that small is a thin test, so those campaigns start on a limited budget and get judged on what each call costs.

The first month
What a Sandy Google Ads account gets in month one
No spend changes until every call has a source, and the campaigns are shaped around the work your crews can take.
1
Read the account you have
If an account is already running, we read its search terms and conversions first, then keep what produces calls and write down what does not.
2
Give every call a source
Before we change bids, each call and form gets a tracking tag that names the keyword and the ad behind it.
3
Separate the jobs you want
The work you want more of gets its own campaign, its own landing page and its own budget line, so one service cannot hide inside another.
4
Adjust daily, then weekly
The first 30 days get a daily look at bids and search terms. After that the account moves to a weekly review.
What every Google Ads account includes
The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.
- Conversion tracking, properly wired
- Landing pages per intent
- Match types and negatives
- Responsive search ads
- Geo and audience targeting
- Bid management
- Remarketing
- Looker Studio reporting

A garden center’s website, SEO and paid search
Google Ads ran alongside a website and SEO for a garden center, Drake’s 7 Dees, and the card shows the combined result. Matt Johnson, who ran On-Target Landscape, adds his view.
Garden center“Lithium Marketing is awesome to work with and the results you’ll get are outstanding. Once I started working with them I saw increase in my online presence and my sales increased too. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with marketing!”

FAQ
What Sandy owners ask before funding ads
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Where should the first month’s spend go?
Start where a booked job is worth more than the clicks it takes to win it. The table above shows what common Sandy trade searches cost, so we pick one service, set a test budget and read the call costs before adding a second campaign.
When do the first calls arrive?
Most campaigns see their first calls inside the first week, once tracking is live. The work after that is subtraction: drop search terms that never produce a call and put the money behind the ones that do.
Can we change the budget after the first month?
Yes, once the tracking shows what a call costs. We review the campaigns against your capacity and move money between them, and the management fee follows the ad spend and the work you approve.
Do you run ads anywhere other than Google?
Google is the usual starting point. Microsoft, Facebook and Instagram get added only when the audience clearly lives there or a trade’s Google clicks are too costly, and the first channel’s tracking has to show a return before a second one starts.
How will we know which ads produce jobs?
The report starts with the keyword and ad behind each call, then totals calls, leads and cost per lead per campaign. Once your team marks which leads became jobs, you can see which campaign paid for the work.
