SERVICE-BUSINESS CASE STUDY

How a 78-year-old Gulf Coast glass company drove 76% more Google Ads conversions on a 2.29% spend increase.

Woodburn service businesses face a North Willamette Valley auction where the cheapest click is rarely the cheapest lead. The Dixie Glass campaign shows what disciplined PPC management does to that math.

Dixie Glass, a third-generation Mississippi Gulf Coast glass company in business since 1946, came to Lithium with Google Ads campaigns that were spending without producing tracked conversions. We rebuilt the campaigns around proper conversion tracking, tightened the keyword and match-type strategy, deployed dedicated landing pages, and wired CallRail through to GA4. Over twelve months, on only a 2.29 percent ad spend increase, Google Ads conversions climbed 76 percent and the campaign conversion rate landed at 15.57 percent.

WHY LITHIUM FOR WOODBURN PPC

Three things Woodburn PPC programs miss that we don't.

Woodburn is the most diverse city in Oregon by population share.

A majority Latino population, a significant Russian Old Believer community, and a long-standing senior population at the Woodburn Estates 55-plus community create three very different buyer pools in one ZIP. Bilingual ad copy and dedicated audience-segmented campaigns are not optional in Woodburn. They are the baseline.

Woodburn sits on the I-5 retail-pull corridor.

The Woodburn Premium Outlets bring regional traffic from Portland, Salem, and across the Pacific Northwest. That changes how restaurant, retail, and service-business search behaves in Woodburn versus a typical small city. Day-parting, geo-radius, and audience-stacking matter more than they do in a non-tourist small market.

Woodburn PPC math closes on cost per booked lead.

We report leading indicators weekly during the first month and shift to a monthly cadence built around leads, cost per lead, and revenue. Click counts are a diagnostic, not the scoreboard. The strategy call walks you through what is working and what to cut.

Strategic comparison of traditional PPC agencies vs Lithium Marketing across conversion tracking, landing pages, bid management, reporting and attribution, and strategy ownership

Ranking for queries that do not convert

In Woodburn, where Bay Area business-services CPCs run $7 to $12, every wasted click is a measurable dollar lost. Lithium’s PPC programs are built around the cost-per-lead math first, click volume second.

Technical debt blocking growth

Service-business buyers prefer to tap a phone number rather than navigate a menu to find one. A site missing a click-to-call link in the hero, and a sticky mobile bar that keeps it within thumb reach during scroll, loses the calls you paid to earn through ads.

Generic content that says nothing local

A PPC campaign without proper conversion tracking, dedicated landing pages, and negative-keyword discipline is invisible in your CRM dashboard. The clicks may be there, the impressions may be there, but the booked work is flat. That is where most of the Woodburn ad spend silently leaks.

No measurement tied to revenue

Buyers decide whether to keep scrolling in about five seconds. A site that shows no reviews, no project photos, no service-area clarity, and no trust signal in the hero loses every time to a competitor who placed a single five-star rating in the right spot.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN EVERY WOODBURN PPC RETAINER

Eight things we ship inside every Woodburn PPC retainer, not as upsells.

Woodburn campaigns need conversion infrastructure tuned for a trilingual buyer pool and the I-5 retail-pull dynamic. Here is what every retainer ships with.

Conversion tracking, properly wired

GA4 events on every form and click-to-call. CallRail call tracking with call quality scoring. Server-side conversion imports for Google Ads. Offline-conversion imports from your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel). The algorithm cannot optimize toward leads it cannot see.

Dedicated landing pages per intent

Landing pages built for the buyer behind the keyword, not the home page. Single offer above the fold, tap-to-call thumb-zone-friendly, one form, one CTA, and a load time under 2.5 seconds on a mid-tier Woodburn mobile network. Every high-intent keyword cluster gets its own page.

Keyword strategy + match-type discipline

Keywords mapped to buyer intent (research, comparison, decision) and tied to estimated revenue per lead. Match-type discipline that prevents broad-match drift from eating budget on the wrong queries. Monthly negative-keyword review from the search-terms report.

Ad copy + Responsive Search Ads

Ad copy that names the actual service, not “quality work.” Responsive Search Ads with the maximum asset count, manual headline pinning where intent demands it, sitelinks tuned to Woodburn buyer language, and structured asset extensions. Every variant tagged for A/B analysis.

Geo-targeting + audience layering

Geo-targeting at the suburb level, not the metro level. Bid modifiers tuned to your actual conversion data across the neighborhoods you serve. Audience layering with in-market segments, remarketing pools, and customer-match uploads from your CRM. The right click, the right place, the right time, at the right bid.

Bid management + remarketing

Manual control on high-intent keywords, Google’s tCPA and tROAS automation where the data supports it. Remarketing audiences segmented by funnel stage, with display, YouTube, and Discovery campaigns layered on top of search for Woodburn buyers who clicked but did not convert. The full funnel, not just the first click.

Reporting tied to revenue, not vanity

Looker Studio dashboard updating daily on impressions, clicks, conversions, conversion rate, and ROAS by campaign and ad group. Call quality scored and reviewed monthly. Monthly written report ties everything back to leads delivered, cost per lead, and revenue. The same numbers Lithium uses internally to manage your program.

Optimization cadence that pays back

Daily monitoring during the first 30 days, weekly after that. Bid adjustments, ad copy rotations, and budget reallocations happen on real data: search-terms reports, conversion data by ad group, landing-page conversion rate, device and audience performance. Every change is logged and tied to a measurable outcome.

WOODBURN SERVICE BUSINESSES WE RUN PPC FOR

The verticals where our Woodburn PPC playbook turns clicks into customers most reliably.

Woodburn’s economy runs on the Woodburn Premium Outlets and the I-5 retail-tourism pull, the agricultural and food-processing base that anchors employment across Marion County, the Salud Medical Center and Legacy Silverton Medical Center networks serving North Marion County, and the small-business service economy serving the most demographically diverse city in Oregon. These are the verticals where our PPC programs deliver the most consistent cost-per-lead math.

Home services

Woodburn’s housing stock includes the older single-family stock around Downtown Woodburn, the Senestraro and Tukwila neighborhoods, the 55-plus master-planned community at Woodburn Estates, and the newer subdivisions on the city’s east side. We build emergency-intent campaigns with call-only ads in English, Spanish, and Russian where the demographic supports it, geo-targeting across Woodburn plus Hubbard, Mount Angel, and Gervais, and tap-to-call landing pages that load fast on rural mobile networks. Cost per lead typically lands $55 to $115 once the campaign is optimized.

Dental and medical practices

Independent dental and medical practices in Woodburn orbit the Salud Medical Center (a Federally Qualified Health Center with deep ties to the Latino community), Legacy Silverton Medical Center, and the broader Salem Health network. We run procedure-specific ad groups, insurance-friendly landing pages tuned for Oregon Health Plan, Kaiser Permanente, and Providence Health Plan enrollment cycles, and conversion tracking through your booking platform. Bilingual Spanish ad copy pays back consistently here.

Contractors and construction

General contractors in Woodburn handle a steady mix of small-build new construction, ADU and accessory-unit work driven by Oregon legislation, mid-century remodels in the older neighborhoods, and agricultural-property maintenance for the surrounding North Marion County farms. We run project-type ad groups, image creative with real Woodburn project photography, and quote-form landing pages with realistic price-range expectations and bilingual variants for the Latino homeowner segment.

Legal and professional services

Woodburn attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors compete in a North Willamette Valley auction where Oregon State Bar compliance governs ad copy. We run practice-area campaigns tied to actual buyer intent (immigration law given the diverse population, personal injury from I-5 traffic, family law, agricultural and labor employment law, estate planning for the Woodburn Estates community), consultation-booking landing pages with Spanish-language landing pages where the practice supports them, and conversion tracking that ties the click to a booked call.

Hospitality and restaurants

Woodburn’s restaurants run from the Downtown Woodburn cluster and the Front Street independents to the Russian and Eastern European bakeries near Centennial Park and the Mexican panaderias and taquerias across the city. We build local-intent campaigns, reservation-platform conversion tracking, event-driven campaign scheduling around the Fiesta Mexicana, the Mount Angel Oktoberfest pull, and the Tulip Festival cycles, and geo-fenced ad groups for the regional weekend traffic driving to the Premium Outlets.

Auto services

Auto repair, body shops, and detailing in Woodburn compete on emergency-intent searches from I-5 commuters running between Portland and Salem. We run service-emergency call-only campaigns, OEM-targeted ad groups for the heavy domestic-truck and minivan mix common in the agricultural workforce, parts and labor landing pages with bilingual variants, and dynamic call extensions during business hours. Geo-targeting extends to Hubbard, Mount Angel, and Aurora to capture commute-route searches.

Specialty retail

Specialty retail in Woodburn is dominated by the Woodburn Premium Outlets, which pulls regional traffic from across Oregon and into Washington given Oregon’s no-sales-tax dynamic. Surrounding retail concentrates downtown and along Highway 99E. We run Google Shopping campaigns with product feeds, local-inventory ads, store-visit conversion tracking, and remarketing audiences segmented by category and language. The cross-border Washington buyer is a meaningful retail segment we factor into geo-radius budgeting.

B2B services

Woodburn’s B2B economy is anchored by the agricultural and food-processing supply chain serving the Willamette Valley, the logistics tier feeding the Premium Outlets and the I-5 retail corridor, and the healthcare procurement base across the regional clinics. We run LinkedIn-paired Google Ads campaigns for ag-tech, food processing, logistics, and healthcare procurement buyers, gated-content lead-gen funnels, and long-cycle attribution wired through HubSpot or Salesforce. Cost per qualified opportunity matters more than cost per first-touch lead.

OUR PROCESS

From audit to optimized campaigns, with weekly check-ins through the first month.

Profitable PPC is a compounding system, not a one-time launch. The Lithium process starts with an audit and conversion-tracking rebuild, then ships campaign optimizations on a weekly cadence with monthly reporting that ties impressions to booked work.

01

Audit and strategy

Week 1

We pull your Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, GA4, CallRail, and CRM data and audit your current campaigns against impression share, conversion rate, quality score, and search-terms waste. We map your service mix, real Woodburn buyer journeys, and revenue per lead. You receive an audit deliverable in week one with priorities ranked by impact.

02

Conversion infrastructure

Week 2

Before we touch ad copy, we wire conversion tracking properly. GA4 events on every form and click-to-call, CallRail through to Google Ads, server-side conversion imports, and offline-conversion imports from your CRM. The algorithm cannot optimize toward leads it cannot see, so this gets done first or everything else compounds slower.

03

Campaign build

Week 2–3

Ad groups structured by buyer intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, dedicated landing pages built for each high-intent keyword cluster, geo-targeting at the suburb level (tuned to the neighborhoods you actually serve), and a baseline negative-keyword list. Every campaign launches with a 30-day optimization plan already mapped.

04

Launch and learning phase

Week 3–6

We build your Woodburn campaigns from the ground up: ad groups by intent, ad copy with the maximum Responsive Search Ads asset count, sitelinks tuned to Woodburn buyer language, geo-targeting at the suburb level, and dedicated landing pages for the highest-intent keywords. Every campaign launches with a baseline negative-keyword list and a 30-day optimization plan already mapped.

05

Ongoing optimization

Week 6–7

Daily monitoring during the first 30 days, weekly after that. We optimize on search-terms reports, conversion data by ad group, landing-page conversion rate, device and audience performance, and quality score drift. Bid adjustments, ad copy rotations, and budget reallocations happen on real data, not gut feel. Every change is logged and tied to a measurable outcome.

06

Measurement and monthly iteration

Post-launch

Monthly written report tied to leads, cost per lead, and revenue from paid search. Strategy call with DJ Van Zanten to set the next month’s priorities. The strategy adjusts every thirty days based on what is actually moving the phone in Woodburn. Not what looks good on a vanity chart.

WOODBURN PPC PRICING

Transparent pricing. Management starts at $500/month, separate from your ad spend.

Typical Woodburn service businesses run $500 to $1,500 per month in management on top of $2,000 to $5,000 in monthly ad spend. Pricing scales with monthly ad spend, channel count (Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn), and how much landing-page production work the campaign needs. You will see the math on the first call. No haggling, no hidden upsells.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Woodburn PPC, straight answers.

A properly built Woodburn campaign starts producing tracked conversions within the first week of launch. The first 30 days are a learning phase where the algorithm calibrates on North Willamette Valley auction data and the trilingual audience segmentation. Cost per lead typically stabilizes by month two and improves through month three as negative-keyword lists tighten and landing pages get conversion-rate-tested. We report weekly during the first month, monthly after that.

Woodburn CPCs run $3 to $7 on home services and $7 to $14 on legal, sitting well below the Portland and Salem metros. The buyer pool runs below the Oregon state median income overall, which makes offer testing, clear pricing, and bilingual landing pages especially important. A well-tracked Woodburn campaign delivers cost per leads under $80 in trades and under $160 in legal. The risk in Woodburn is missing the bilingual conversion opportunity entirely by running English-only ad copy.

Management starts at $500 per month, separate from your ad spend. Typical Woodburn service businesses run $500 to $1,000 per month in management on top of $1,200 to $3,000 in monthly ad spend. The number depends on monthly ad spend, channel count (Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn), and how much landing-page production work the campaign needs. Bilingual landing-page production is an optional add-on that often pays for itself in the first two months.

No reputable PPC agency guarantees a specific cost per lead or conversion rate, because both are controlled by the Google Ads auction, the season, and your offer. What we guarantee is the work: conversion tracking shipped properly, dedicated landing pages per intent, monthly negative-keyword review, weekly bid optimization, and reporting tied to revenue per lead. The cost-per-lead curve bends downward when the work is done right, on a predictable timeline.

Quality Score is Google’s estimate of how relevant your ad and landing page are to the keyword. It directly affects your cost per click and ad position. We optimize Quality Score on three vectors: expected click-through rate (better ad copy, headline pinning where intent demands it), ad relevance (tight ad-group themes, one core keyword set per ad group), and landing-page experience (dedicated pages per intent, fast mobile load, message-match with the ad). A 7+ Quality Score on high-volume keywords often saves Woodburn clients 30 to 50 percent on cost per click compared to a 4 or 5.

Three layers. Leading indicators: impressions, clicks, click-through rate, Quality Score, and search impression share in the Woodburn auction. Mid-funnel: conversion rate by ad group, conversion rate by landing page, call quality scoring (including bilingual call quality). Revenue: leads delivered, cost per lead, ROAS, revenue attributed to paid via offline conversion imports from your CRM. The dashboard updates daily and the written report ships monthly with a strategy call.

Daily campaign monitoring during the first 30 days (weekly after), bid and budget optimization, ongoing ad copy and creative testing, landing page conversion-rate optimization, monthly negative-keyword review, audience segmentation refinement, bilingual call quality scoring, monthly reporting tied to leads and revenue, and a strategy call with DJ Van Zanten. Woodburn retainers above the base tier include Spanish-language landing page production and CRM offline-conversion wiring.

Yes. PPC is the fastest channel for a new Woodburn business because it does not depend on domain authority, review history, or earned search visibility in a market where established competitors often operate in only one language. A new business with a real offer, a clean bilingual landing page, and proper conversion tracking can produce tracked leads within the first week. The bilingual conversion gap is often where a new Woodburn business beats incumbents on cost per lead.
