Wilkes-Barre PPC, answered
An average click on 'garage door repair wilkes barre' costs $12.14, and 'pest control wilkes barre' runs $9.93. At those prices a campaign that cannot tell a call from a click is guessing, and guessing is expensive. Lithium Marketing runs Google Ads for Wilkes-Barre service businesses with tracking wired before the first dollar of ad spend moves.
The account is set up in your name, so the campaigns, the billing history and the data stay with your business if you ever change agencies. Lithium makes that commitment on every Google Ads account it manages. Management is from $500 a month, plus ad spend, and billed separately from the clicks.
Click costs in Wilkes-Barre
'Electrician wilkes barre' draws 90 searches a month and averages $7.14 a click, the cheapest of the three trade searches with reported prices. Garage door repair is the most expensive at $12.14, so a garage door company should start with one campaign, one landing page and a tight list of negative keywords.
'Pest control wilkes barre' draws 140 searches a month at $9.93 a click, the largest search volume of the three. A pest company that sells three treatments needs a page per treatment and a campaign that can tell which one the caller asked for.

The Wilkes-Barre market
Wilkes-Barre's population moved 0.4% between 2020 and 2025, so the number of customers is nearly flat. Paid search works here when it takes work from other companies, which means the budget should follow the jobs you can staff, not every search in the county.
Luzerne County counts 7,212 business establishments, and the same budget buys different numbers of calls in roofing, pest control and electrical work. The first month should test one service, one city and one landing page before the budget widens.

Trades in Luzerne County
Luzerne County has 20 roofing contractors and 11 pest control companies, two fields where a single job has to justify what the clicks cost. A roofer's landing page should ask for the job, the roof and the timing, so the call starts with the details.
Electrical work is the larger field: Luzerne County lists 63 electrical contractors, and the click is the cheapest of the three at $7.14. That gap is why a contractor who sells several trades should give each one its own campaign, budget and landing page.

Your first month
Tracking goes in before the budget moves, and the first month is judged on calls and cost per lead.
The current account gets a line-by-line read: keep the campaigns that produce calls and name the ones that only spend.
Conversion tags, GA4 and call tracking go in first, so the month opens with a baseline, not a guess.
Roof repair and drain cleaning do not share a budget line; each gets a campaign and a page built for that request.
Bids and search terms are reviewed every day for the first month, then weekly against the report.
What every Google Ads account includes
The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.

Work backward from what a job is worth. Trade clicks with reported costs run from $7.14 to $12.14 here, so the budget has to buy enough calls at your trade's price to cover the work. We pick a starting number together, then move it once the account has data.
The first calls typically arrive in week one, once tracking is live. From there the search terms that never produce a call get cut, and the money moves to the terms that do. Cost per lead has room to fall as the account learns, though no one can promise a number.
You do. Lithium builds the campaigns inside an account in your name, so the billing history and the data stay with your business if you ever move on. That is a working rule on every account we manage, not a negotiating point.
Ask where your customers look. Google is the default for urgent searches, and Lithium also buys Microsoft Ads and Meta ads when a trade's customers spend time on Facebook or Instagram. A channel earns its place when it can be measured, not because it is new.
Each month the account reports the calls and form fills it produced, the cost per lead, and which campaigns spent the budget. If your team marks the leads that turned into work, the report can follow a campaign past the call. The report shows what came in, not an estimate.
Free action plan
A co-founder can put Wilkes-Barre click costs against the value of one finished job on a short video call. Bring your trade and the months that fill your calendar, and we will outline the budget from there.
