Start with the biggest gap

What one plan covers for a Santa Rosa business

A Santa Rosa service business usually buys its marketing in pieces, and Lithium Marketing puts the four pieces on one plan: the website, local search, Google Ads and the phone line. Searches naming Santa Rosa for digital marketing total about 50 a month. The customers you need are mostly typing a trade and a problem, not an agency name.

Sonoma County has 14,572 businesses across all industries, including 481 residential remodelers and 301 landscaping companies. One owner needs project pages and photos, another needs the phone answered at 6 p.m., and a third wants a page for every service the crew runs. A plan that starts with one service and adds the next when the calls justify it keeps the spending tied to work you can take.

The Santa Rosa market

A slow-growing city with older houses

Santa Rosa added 0.8% to its population between 2020 and 2025, so most of the next customers already live here. The city has 71,382 housing units, and the work that follows is repair, replacement and remodel, not a wave of new construction.

Santa Rosa sits in the North Bay, and the cities around it, such as Petaluma, Rohnert Park and Windsor, are their own markets. If your crews cross the city line, each of those cities needs its own page and its own service area on the Google Business Profile, or a customer there picks a name that comes up first.

Trades in Sonoma County

Where the county’s trades are crowded

Sonoma County’s trade chart starts with 481 residential remodelers and 301 landscaping companies. A Santa Rosa owner in either trade is one of many, so the page has to carry the proof: photographs of finished jobs, the reviews on the profile, and a separate page for each kind of work the crew takes.

Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors come next, at 262 in Sonoma County. Those are phone-first businesses: the person with a leaking water heater calls the number that answers, which is why call tracking and the AI receptionist belong beside the SEO work.

The order of work

The order we recommend in Santa Rosa

Start by measuring, because the first decision is which channel already produces calls.

1

Find the calls already coming in

We add call and form tracking to the website, the Google Business Profile and any running ads, so the first report shows which channel produced each call.

2

Fix the page every channel uses

A slow page or a phone number hidden behind a menu gets fixed before more traffic is bought, because every service sends its customers to the same page.

3

Build the pages the searches need

Service pages for the work you sell, then area pages for the parts of Santa Rosa and the nearby North Bay cities you cover.

4

Add paid search and phone cover

Google Ads goes after the jobs you need this month, and the AI receptionist answers the calls that arrive after hours or while a crew is on a job.

Proof

What three services did for a Portland glass company

The case on the card is Town & Country Glass, a commercial glass company in Portland. Lithium built its website and ran both the SEO and the Google Ads, and the results on the card come from all three parts of that work. Nathan Boos describes what the team is like to work with in the quote next to this text.

FAQ

Five questions Santa Rosa owners ask us first

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Should I fix the website or buy ads first?

Fix the step where a ready customer drops out, and your call log usually shows which step that is. A site that hides the phone number loses the customer before an ad helps; a phone nobody answers loses the customer after the ad worked. We put tracking on both first, then decide.

Can one service run on its own?

One service can run on its own. Start with the piece that costs you the most work. If the site loses phone visitors, fix the site; if ads bring calls nobody answers, fix the phone line first. The other services wait until the reports show the first one paying for itself, and the call tracking stays the same as the plan grows.

Who will I be talking to?

Strategy calls run by video with a co-founder, and day-to-day questions go to your account manager. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, and works with every client by video.

Do the services share one invoice?

Each service has its own line on the proposal. The SEO retainer is a monthly range, the ads fee moves with your spend and the channels we run, the website is a one-time build and the receptionist is $179 a month with no contract. Nothing is bundled into a discount that hides a price, and you approve every line before work starts.

Who else besides contractors uses Lithium?

Trades are the core of the client list, but not all of it. Lithium also has current clients in manufacturing, insurance and real estate, and the buying habit is the same in each: the customer looks up several companies, then calls one. Being findable and credible when that happens is the work.
