One plan, four services

What a Waterbury service business gets from one plan

A home service business in Waterbury usually needs four things: a website a customer can use, pages that answer the search, ads that reach the jobs worth having, and a phone line that picks up. Lithium Marketing runs all four as one program, with each service priced on its own and published before work starts, and the first job is to see which one is costing you the most calls. The Naugatuck Valley Planning Region holds 9,114 establishments across many industries, which is why a plan is built trade by trade, not from one template.

The trade mix is where a plan starts. The region has 200 landscaping services, 180 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors and 178 electrical contractors, and each group sells a different kind of job, from seasonal care to emergency repairs to planned installations. A plan that treats all three the same spends money on the wrong searches.

The Waterbury market

Older homes and a mix of owners and renters

Waterbury’s housing is old: 76.2% of the city’s homes were built before 1980. A page that explains how your crew handles an older house gives a caller a reason to pick you, and it does more than a list of every service in one line.

Waterbury’s owner-occupied share is 47.2%, so a plan that speaks only to owners can miss a caller who rents or manages the property. A short page on rental work answers that caller before the first visit.

Trades across the valley

The region’s trade list, and what it means for a plan

The Naugatuck Valley Planning Region has 137 residential remodelers and 26 roofing contractors, and it also has 13 pest control companies. No single trade owns the region, and a business that sells more than one kind of work has to choose which one the marketing leads with.

That choice is the first decision in the plan. A remodeler with a full calendar may want a second crew’s worth of projects, a roofer may want repair calls between larger jobs, a pest control company may want recurring treatments. The website, the profile and the ads all point at the chosen line, and the other services stay as supporting pages.

The order of work

How the four services fit into one Waterbury plan

Tracking comes first, because every later choice depends on knowing which calls already arrive.

1

Audit what you have

We look at the calls you get now, the site, the profile and any ads, and mark which of the four services is costing you work.

2

Put tracking on every source

Call and form tracking go on the site, the Google profile and the ads you run, so the audit rests on counted calls.

3

Start with the costliest gap

The service the numbers point to gets built first, whether that is pages, a new site, a campaign or the phone line.

4

Add a service when the calls support it

We review calls, leads and cost per lead each month and add a service only when the first one has produced the work that pays for it.

FAQ

What to ask before you sign with an agency

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What should a Waterbury business fix first?

Look at last month’s calls and where they came from. If most never got answered, the phone is the first fix. If the website loses people on a phone, the site comes first. When both work and the calls are still thin, search or ads is the gap. A co-founder reviews the tracking, site and profile before naming one.

Can we start with one service and add the rest later?

Start with the service that is losing you the most work. A single service is a normal starting point, and the proposal describes exactly what it covers. If you add another later, both report into the same call tracking, so the first service’s numbers do not get lost in the switch.

Who runs the strategy calls for a Waterbury business?

A co-founder runs the strategy calls, and an account manager handles day-to-day questions. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. The published prices are the same for a Waterbury business as for one in Portland.

Do the services come as a bundle?

There is no bundle price. The pricing block above lists the published prices and marks the one that is scoped after a call. A larger website gets a fixed quote too, so the number changes only when the scope does.

Are there long contracts?

The usual service agreement starts with six months, then runs month to month with 30 days’ notice. The AI receptionist has no contract and can be cancelled anytime. The six months exist because local rankings take time to build, and the terms are explained before any work starts.
