How we measure results
Where every number comes from.
Each result comes from tracking set up for that client, the same data behind the monthly reporting that ties our work to leads and revenue.
Tracked calls and leads
Call tracking and conversion tracking count the calls and form leads each program brings in, so a lead number is a count, not a guess.
Organic traffic and rankings
Organic visits, ranking keywords and top-3 positions come from monthly rank and traffic tracking, compared before and after the work.
Google Ads conversion rates
Conversion rates come from each client’s Google Ads account and its conversion tracking. An average campaign converts at about 5%.
Before and after, never forecast
Each figure compares where a client started with a later reporting period. None of them is a forecast of what might happen.
Owner voices
In the owners’ own words.
Quoted word for word, from the owner of a garden center and the president of a home services company.
“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.”
Drake SnodgrassDrake’s 7 Dees“Lithium Marketing has been amazing for our business. They have greatly increased our web traffic and helped us land hundreds of jobs. Before we started using Lithium we were sitting on page 8 in google. We are now sitting in the top spots in all the areas we do work.”

Will my business get the same results?
No one can promise that, because each result depended on that client’s market, competition, budget and starting point. What we guarantee is the work: technical fixes shipped on time, content built to a Helpful Content standard, a fully optimized Google Business Profile and links built with semantic filters.
Which services do these case studies cover?
Lithium’s case studies cover websites, SEO and Google Ads. Sarkinen Heating & Cooling is an SEO client; the seven other projects include website and SEO work, with Google Ads on six. Check the named services in the case that matches the scope you are considering.
How long until results show?
Google Ads results typically show within the first week of a campaign, and SEO builds over months. In these case studies, Sarkinen Plumbing’s search visibility went from just over 4% to 15% in the first month of SEO, and Drake’s 7 Dees grew its organic traffic 380% in one year.
What does it cost to work with Lithium?
Four of our five services have a published price. A website is typically $5,000, with a fixed proposal for larger sites after a 30-minute discovery call, local SEO typically runs $1,300 to $3,000 a month, Google Ads management starts at $500 a month plus ad spend, and the AI receptionist is $179 a month. AI automation is quoted after a free discovery call, and service agreements typically start with six months, then renew monthly with 30 days’ cancellation notice.
