Where to begin
How Lithium markets a Bend service business
Lithium Marketing builds the website, runs SEO and Google Ads and answers the phones for Bend service businesses, so every channel sends customers to the same place and every call gets counted. Bend is Central Oregon’s most populous city and the seat of government of Deschutes County, and the plan reflects that: Bend is the name on your main pages, and each county town you serve gets a page of its own.
Bend’s population grew 8.2% from 2020 to 2025. Each new household is a customer who doesn’t know the established names yet, so your website, Google profile, ads and phone line all have to work for someone meeting your company for the first time.

Searches naming Bend
The trade searches behind a Bend plan
Trade searches that name Bend are big enough to plan around: about 1,300 a month for “plumber bend” and 880 for “landscaping bend”. That demand is why the plan starts with the pages and Google profile those searchers land on, and adds Google Ads where organic results can’t reach yet.
Each click on “plumber bend” costs $16.08 on average. Send that click to a slow site or a phone nobody answers and the money is gone, so the site and the phone line get fixed before any ad budget grows.

Bend’s homes and households
Plan past the city line, and for new arrivals
Bend has 47,957 housing units, while Deschutes County has 99,297. If you work beyond the city, your Google profile, town pages and ad targets should name the places past the city line where you want jobs, starting with Redmond.
Much of Bend’s recent growth has come from people choosing it as a place to retire, and the city has also become a commuter town for a number of tech workers in the Bay Area and Seattle. Write your service pages so both groups see themselves in them: a retiree weighing a remodel or a new furnace, and a household that works from home and needs more circuits.

Trades in Deschutes County
Builders, landscapers and repair trades need different plans
New home builders lead the Deschutes County chart with 347 businesses, and the county has 148 landscaping services. For project businesses like these, the plan leans on the website and SEO: a gallery for each kind of job, a page per service and reviews that name the work, with Google Ads for the project types you want more of.
For a plumbing or HVAC company, one of 117 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors in Deschutes County, the order flips. If your calls are urgent repairs, an unanswered phone loses the job, so the AI receptionist and Google Ads come first and the big gallery can wait.

How a Bend plan unfolds
The sequence for a Bend business
Each step uses what the one before it learned, starting with where your calls come from now.
1
Put tracking on every number
Before we change anything, each phone number and form gets its own tracking, which shows whether Google, your website or a directory like Yelp brings your calls today.
2
Make the website ready for strangers
A customer who finds you on Google lands on the site, so we repair or rebuild it before sending more people there: quick on a phone, clear about the towns you serve and full of real jobs.
3
Cover the trades and the towns
SEO adds a page for each service and each Deschutes County town you work in, while Google Ads covers the jobs you want booked this season.
4
Answer and follow up on every call
Once more calls come in, the AI receptionist takes each one around the clock and books it, and a custom automation texts customers afterward to ask for a review.
Proof
Dixie Glass: website, SEO and Google Ads from one team
Lithium has no Bend case study to show you, so the card shows the closest thing to a full plan: a new website, SEO and Google Ads run together for Dixie Glass on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Beside the card, Drake Snodgrass explains what changed for Drake’s 7 Dees, his garden center, after it started working with Lithium.
Glass“Lithium has moved us to page 1 in Google search organically. Prior to working with them we spent a huge part of our marketing budget on paid search. Website redesign was a great experience.”

FAQ
Hiring one agency for everything: Bend questions
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
We get most of our work from referrals. Why market at all in Bend?
Because referrals only reach people who already know someone who knows you. A household new to Bend has no one to ask, and even a referred customer may look you up before calling. A thin Google profile or a slow site gives both of them a reason to call another company.
Will I get separate reports for each service?
No, one report covers them all. Every service runs on the same call and form tracking, so calls and leads from SEO, Google Ads and the website sit side by side each month, along with the calls the AI receptionist answered and booked. You can see which service earns its cost.
Does Lithium have anyone in Bend?
Yes, one of Lithium’s team members is based in Bend. The company itself is headquartered in Portland and works with every client by video, so a Bend business gets the same strategy calls with a co-founder as anyone else, and Allison McKenney handles the day-to-day by phone and email.
We can only afford one service right now. Which one?
Pick the one that plugs your biggest leak. A one-truck electrician who misses calls while on jobs may get the most from the AI receptionist at $179 a month. A remodeler with a dated site usually needs the website first, and a landscaper with a solid site but few calls should look at SEO or Google Ads. A co-founder will tell you which fits on the first call.
Am I locked in if I hire Lithium for several services?
Only for the first six months. Most services start on a six-month agreement and then run month to month with 30 days’ notice, and the AI receptionist has no contract at all. Each service is priced on its own, so dropping one later leaves the others as they are.
