Who owns the account

York keeps the account, the fee stays separate

York clicks are not cheap: an average click on 'hvac repair york pa' runs $102.55, and 'garage door repair york pa' runs $36.86. Lithium Marketing runs Google Ads for York service businesses, and the account is opened in your name, with management from $500 a month, plus ad spend.

You keep the login, the billing history and the conversion data if you ever leave, and the fee stays separate from what you pay Google. The first job is to stop paying for searches that never turn into a call, then to put each remaining job type on a landing page that can convert it.

When York calls arrive

A budget that follows the season you have

York has a humid continental climate, with hot, humid summers and moderately cold winters. If your trade's calls bunch up in the warm months or the cold ones, the budget should follow your own call history instead of an even split across the year.

York covers 5.3 square miles, and the townships around it sit outside that line. A campaign that targets only the city leaves the county work out, and a radius drawn around the whole county spends money on places you do not serve. Set the geography by the towns you cover.

Where the trade counts matter

When the trade count changes the plan

The roofing search 'roofing company york pa' still draws 390 searches a month, and York County has 23 roofing contractors. A roofer can split repair, replacement and inspection across separate pages, then let the search terms show which one pays.

Landscaping is the other end: 192 companies in the county, and an average click of $7.03. The page still has to separate maintenance from installation, or cheap clicks turn into the wrong calls.

FAQ

Before you raise a York ad budget

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

How is the management fee set?

The fee starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend, and it is quoted for your account before launch. More ad spend, extra channels and landing page work raise it; one campaign on a single channel sits at the bottom.

Who owns the Google Ads account?

You do. The account is opened in your business name, and you keep the login and the billing history. If you leave, the campaigns and the conversion data stay with you.

How much ad spend do we need?

Enough to buy calls at a price your jobs can cover. A click on 'hvac repair york pa' averages $102.55, while 'landscaping york pa' averages $7.03, so the starting budget depends on the trade and the close rate. We set it together on the call.

What does the first month of ads look like?

Calls usually start in the first week, once tracking is live. The first 30 days are tuned daily, then weekly, as the search terms and bids settle.

Do you advertise anywhere besides Google?

Google is usually the first channel, and Microsoft Ads is the second. Lithium also manages Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, and a channel earns a place when the tracking shows cheaper calls there.
