Where to start

Savannah marketing that starts with the work you want next

A customer in Savannah who finds your business online should reach someone who can book the work, and that is the chain Lithium Marketing builds: the website, the search pages, the Google Ads and the phone line. More than 100 distinct neighborhoods sit inside six principal areas of the city, from Downtown and Midtown out to the Southside and the Westside, and one service-area page cannot speak to all of them.

Savannah is the county seat of Chatham County, and the city limits cover only part of the ground a trade business works. The metro area around Savannah holds 438,314 people, so a plan that stops at the city line leaves customers out.

The market

One city, six areas and a county around it

The city covers 109 square miles, and Chatham County holds 311,855 people. A business that treats the whole county as one market ends up with a single page written for nobody in particular, so the plan gives the biggest places their own page and leaves the rest to a service-area page.

Owners occupy 45.4% of Savannah's occupied homes, and Chatham County runs at 56.8%. Inside the city a larger share of homes is rented, so property managers and tenants deserve pages and call scripts of their own.

The trades

Who is already working in Chatham County

Chatham County lists 93 residential remodelers, 92 landscaping companies and 85 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors. In a field that crowded, a customer is often choosing between names that sound alike, so the differentiator is a finished job with a photo and a review, not the sign on the truck.

The county lists 26 pest control companies. A firm in a smaller field can cover every treatment it sells with its own page, which a general home-services page cannot.

The order of work

How a Savannah plan takes shape

We start where the loss is easiest to see, then add the next service once the numbers justify it.

1

Measure what arrives today

Tracking goes on the site, the profile and any live ads, so the first month shows which searches already produce Savannah work.

2

Repair the page a customer lands on

A slow template or a form that fails on a phone gets fixed before anything else is added, since every service sends people there.

3

Put the work on its own page

Service pages for the jobs you want, area pages for the parts of the county you cover, and a paid campaign for whatever needs booking sooner.

4

Answer what the other three produce

The AI receptionist takes the calls the pages and the ads generate, and the automation handles the follow-up text and the review request.

Pricing

What each Savannah service costs

Lithium publishes a typical price for four of its five services, and AI automation is quoted after a free discovery call. Your proposal depends on scope, competition and ad spend.

Conversion web design

$5,000

typical project

Larger sites with more pages or integrations get a fixed proposal after a 30-minute discovery call. Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch.

SEO

$1,300–$3,000

per month

Typical local SEO retainer, scoped against your revenue per lead.

Google Ads management

From $500

per month

Plus ad spend. Typical: $500–$1,500 a month in management, plus ad spend of $2,000–$5,000 a month.

AI receptionist

$179

per month

Fully managed. No contracts, cancel anytime. Live in days.

AI automation

Scoped

after discovery

Clear, upfront pricing after a free discovery call. Custom builds typically take 1–2 weeks.

Optional hosting and maintenance: $99/month. Secure private hosting on a dedicated high-speed server, daily backups, software and security updates, and basic website changes are all included. Most clients choose this option to keep their new website updated and running smoothly; it is not required.

Our usual service agreement starts with six months, then continues month to month with 30 days’ cancellation notice. Your written agreement sets the final terms. The AI receptionist has no contract.

  • You own your domain, hosting account and website
  • Six-month starting term
  • We guarantee the work, not a ranking

FAQ

Decisions before you pick a service

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Where should the money go first: the website, search, ads or the phone?

Put the money where the leak is biggest. If calls ring out unanswered, the phone line comes first; if the site is slow on a phone, the site comes first. Tracking goes in before either, so the answer comes from your own numbers, not from a guess.

Can we add a service partway through the year?

You can. Whatever you add runs through the same tracking as the first service, so the calls stay in one report and one place to compare them. A co-founder will show you what the addition does to the monthly total before you commit.

Why is custom automation quoted after a call when the rest is priced up front?

Because the build depends on the systems it has to reach. Custom automation is scoped after a free discovery call, once we know what it connects to and what it has to do. The other services have published prices you can read before you call.

How do the four services share one report?

Every service reports into the same call tracking. A call from an ad, a call from the Google profile and a call from an organic page land in one place, each tagged with the search behind it. That lets you compare what each service brings without stitching three dashboards together.

How does an agency in Portland work with a business in Savannah?

Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, and works with every client by video. That changes nothing about the work: strategy calls go to a co-founder, an account manager handles the day to day, and the reports are the same ones every client gets.
