Where the money goes
How an Aloha Google Ads account is built
Google Ads lets your business bid for a spot at the top of the page on searches you choose, and Lithium Marketing builds and manages those accounts with every call traced to its source. For an Aloha business the account starts from the work, not the place name: in Google Ads data, “plumber aloha or” and “water damage restoration aloha or” come to about 10 searches a month each, too few to carry a campaign alone.
So keywords describe the job, such as burst pipe repair, roof leak repair or a panel upgrade, and the ad copy and landing page speak to that job. Call tracking then shows which ad, search term and city produced each call.
Clicks and location
Target the work and the map around Aloha
“Pest control aloha or” lands at about 10 a month as well. No ads showed when we checked “plumber aloha or”, and the Map Pack came first; one results page says little about who bids on a given day, so the plan runs on your own tracked numbers.
Location settings are where an Aloha account earns its keep. We include the nearby cities on your list, exclude the places you don’t serve, and once calls are tracked, compare cost per lead city by city before moving any budget.

Reach
How far an Aloha campaign should reach
Aloha spans about 7.3 square miles of land and has an estimated 52,389 residents, and it sits inside the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro area of 2,542,282 people. A map drawn only around Aloha is small; one drawn around the whole metro pays for clicks from places your crews never go. The right map sits between the two: Aloha plus the cities you serve in a normal week.
Budget timing comes from your own call history. If roof or yard calls cluster in certain months, spend can rise ahead of them and ease off after, and the tracking shows whether the shift paid.

Trades and campaigns
Separate campaigns for separate Washington County trades
On the Washington County chart, landscaping services number 276, roofing contractors 62 and excavation and site preparation contractors 59. Each sells something different: a landscaper sells design and upkeep, a roofer sells repairs and replacements, an excavation firm sells site work, and each offer needs its own ad group, landing page and budget line so the report can show which one books work.
Inside one company the same rule applies. A roofer who runs repairs and full replacements in a single campaign can’t tell which brings in better jobs; split them, and the report shows the cost per lead for each.

Account setup
What happens in your first month of Aloha ads
Measurement comes before money: no budget moves until calls and forms are counted.
1
Look back through the account
If you advertise today, we look for keywords that spent money and never rang the phone, and for the campaigns already producing calls.
2
Test the tracking with real calls
Tracking goes in and gets tested: we place real calls and fill out the forms ourselves to confirm GA4 records each one with its keyword and ad.
3
Launch by job and by city
Every job you want more of runs as its own campaign, with a landing page written for that job and a map set to Aloha and the cities on your list.
4
Adjust bids every day for a month
Through the first 30 days we change bids and prune search terms daily. From then on the account is reviewed weekly, and your report breaks out calls, leads and cost per lead by campaign.
What every Google Ads account includes
The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.
- Conversion tracking, properly wired
- Landing pages per intent
- Match types and negatives
- Responsive search ads
- Geo and audience targeting
- Bid management
- Remarketing
- Looker Studio reporting
Portland-area proof
Google Ads, a website and SEO for a Portland-area plumber
For a Google Ads result from close by, look at Sarkinen Plumbing, which serves the Portland area. Its ads ran beside a new website and SEO, all from Lithium, so read the card as the work of all three. In the quote, Dave Turin of the excavation company Dozer Dave recommends DJ Van Zanten for help with a website and internet marketing.

What PPC management costs an Aloha business
From $500
per month in management
Management is separate from your ad spend. Typical: $500–$1,500 a month in management on $2,000–$5,000 a month in ad spend. No haggling, no hidden upsells.
Is Aloha too small for Google Ads?
No, because the ads target where people are, not only the words they type. Few trade searches include the name Aloha, but Google Ads can show your ad to someone searching for a plumber or a roofer from inside the area you set, so the account is sized to your service map.
How is the management fee set?
Three things move it: how much you spend on ads, how many channels we manage and how much landing page work the campaigns need. Management starts at $500 a month, and ad spend is separate. No haggling and no hidden upsells: the fee is settled before launch.
When should I expect the first calls from Aloha ads?
Initial results typically arrive within the first week of a tracked campaign. Cost per lead takes longer to settle, because the account needs a few weeks of calls to learn which keywords and cities are worth the money, so judge it on the first full month.
What if I only want certain kinds of jobs?
Then the account bids only on those. Keywords, ad copy and landing pages are built around the jobs you name, negative keywords block the ones you don’t take, and the search terms report gets checked to catch anything that slips through.
Do you run ads anywhere besides Google?
Yes: Microsoft Ads, plus Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, are part of what Lithium manages. Google Ads usually goes first for a service business, since the customer is already searching, and a second channel is added once your tracked cost per lead says a test is worth it.
