The first decision

Texas marketing starts with the cities you cover

Lithium Marketing is a digital marketing agency for Texas home and local service businesses. We build the website, run SEO and Google Ads, and answer calls with an AI receptionist, with every page and campaign pointed at the cities where you can put a crew.

Texas has 254 counties, and a customer searches for the service and their town, not the state. A business that covers part of the state needs its own page for each town where it wants calls, which is why the city pages come first.

Pick a market

Where the Texas work is concentrated

Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin top the list, and El Paso, Corpus Christi, Plano, Lubbock and Frisco are on it too. Each city below has its own page with that market’s searches and housing figures, so open the one where your crews already book work.

Metro pages: Dallas-Fort Worth

Homes, rain and your calendar

Housing age and rainfall differ across Texas

The median Texas home was built in 1992, and 21.4% of the state’s homes went up in 2010 or later. Older homes bring repair and replacement work, and newer ones bring installs and upgrades. If you sell both, show a finished job from each kind of house.

If weather decides when your crews can work, plan the calendar by region. El Paso averages 8.7 inches of annual rainfall, while parts of southeast Texas average as much as 64 inches. Tell us the months your crews can take outdoor work in each region, so the ads follow your capacity.

Trade by trade

The jobs behind the Texas trade counts

8,966 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors and 6,224 residential remodelers work statewide. A burst pipe and a kitchen remodel are different purchases, so they need different pages, photos and quote forms.

6,124 electrical contractors and 2,442 roofing contractors work across Texas. A panel replacement and a whole-house rewire are not one service, and neither are a roof repair and a full replacement. We write a page for each job you sell and keep the rest out of your ad campaigns.

FAQ

Before you hire: answers for Texas owners

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

Which Texas cities should we go after first?

Start with the cities where your crews already book work and where the average job pays enough to justify the marketing. Open each city page and compare that market’s searches and housing with the next place on your list. A city you can staff now beats a bigger city you cannot reach.

Should each Texas city get its own page?

Only for the cities you want calls from. A page that lists ten towns gives a customer in any one of them nothing specific to land on, because the customer typed one town and one trade. Start with the city where you want the most work, fill its page with finished jobs and reviews, then add the next city when you have something to show there.

How is the monthly SEO price decided?

The monthly range above follows the work, not a set package. Each city you add needs its own pages and photos, and a site with thin service pages takes more work to fix. What a booked job is worth to you also shapes what we recommend.

What happens to the ads if a city stops producing work?

Your reports show recorded calls, leads and cost per lead for each campaign, so budget can move from a city that stops booking work to one that does. The city page stays online, so the SEO work is still there when the ads pause.

What belongs to us, and how long is the agreement?

You own the domain, hosting, WordPress installation and content. The usual service agreement starts with six months, then runs month to month with 30 days’ notice. The AI receptionist has no contract and no setup fee, and custom automation is a separate project with its own scope.
