Where the money goes

West Valley City PPC built around what a click costs

A click on “garage door repair west valley city” averages $36.78, and a plumbing click costs more, so a campaign here can spend real money before anyone answers the phone. Lithium Marketing starts your account with conversion tracking, then builds the landing pages and search terms that decide whether those clicks turn into work.

Cheaper clicks exist, and they are not all better. “pest control west valley city” runs $18.11 a click on 260 searches a month, while “landscaping west valley city” runs $8.49. The job behind the click sets the budget: a treatment call and a landscaping project are worth different amounts, and the account should be built around what a booked job is worth to you.

The ground you cover

Set the budget by the ground you cover

West Valley City covers 35.8 square miles of land, with Salt Lake City to the north, Magna to the west and Taylorsville and Kearns Township to the south. A campaign set to the whole city reaches searchers who may be closer to another company in one of those places, so the location settings and the service-area line on the landing page have to agree.

If your crews only cross the Jordan River for certain jobs, say so in the ad and on the page. The campaign should buy the ground you work, and the monthly report should show which searches produced calls.

Bidding in the county

Bidding on a crowded county

Salt Lake County has 134 roofing contractors and 255 painting contractors. A campaign for either trade can lead with a page that explains the work and a form that asks enough to price it, because a cheap click on a planning search is worth less than a call that turns into a scheduled job.

Repair trades buy differently. When a plumbing or garage door caller needs someone now, the landing page puts the phone first and the form second, and after-hours calls get tracked the same way as the ones that came at noon.

Your first month

How the account gets set up

Tracking goes in before the budget moves, and the campaigns follow the work your crews can take.

1

Start with the numbers you have

Any current campaign gets read first: which searches produced calls, which ones only cost money, and whether the conversions are honest.

2

Set the tracking before the budget

Forms, calls and booked jobs each get a value, so the account can tell a cheap lead from an expensive one.

3

Write the page for one job

A landing page that answers the ad's promise, with the phone where a thumb can reach it and a short form behind it.

4

Change bids on a schedule

The first 30 days get daily attention; after that the account is reviewed weekly against what your crews can take.

What every Google Ads account includes

The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.

FAQ

Budget questions before the first campaign

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How much should we spend on ads here?

The budget has to be enough to buy the calls your crews can handle, at a click price your jobs can cover. One booked job matters more than a hundred visits at these click prices. The management fee starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend, and the media budget is set separately from it.

How will we know which ads produce work?

The report is built from call and form tracking, so it lists calls, leads and cost per lead for each campaign. When your team marks which leads became jobs, that column becomes the one we spend against.

What if we already run ads with another agency?

We read the account before changing it: which campaigns produce calls, which search terms waste money and whether the conversions are wired correctly. You keep the account and its history, and the work starts with what the data already shows.

Can we advertise outside Google?

Microsoft Ads and Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram are managed channels too. We add one when the Google account proves what a lead costs and the other channel can reach the same customer for less, and never before the tracking can compare them.

What happens if we pause the campaign?

Spending stops the day you say so, and the account keeps its history for a restart. The first six months are a committed term; after that it rolls month to month, and 30 days' notice ends it.
