Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Is the strategy call free?
Yes, the 30-minute strategy call is free and there is no obligation to hire Lithium. DJ reviews your goals, your website and your current marketing with you, and you leave with a prioritized plan of quick wins and longer-term steps you can act on with or without us.
How long is the call, and who will I talk to?
The call takes 30 minutes, and you talk with DJ Van Zanten, Lithium’s co-founder. DJ runs every strategy call, has over 20 years of experience and has consulted with over 1,000 businesses. Once you start working with us, Allison McKenney is your day-to-day contact and Kurt Schell, who founded the business in 2010, oversees operations.
What should I prepare before the call?
Your website address and a clear idea of what you want more of are enough to start. It also helps to know which marketing you run today, your rough monthly budget, what a new customer is worth to you, and whether you can share Google Analytics, Search Console or call tracking data. DJ uses those details to show what is working, where leads are slipping away and where the quickest wins are.
How soon will I hear back?
Within 24 hours. Messages sent through the form get a reply within 24 hours, and the phone line is answered 24/7 by Lithium’s AI receptionist, which can answer your questions and book your strategy call. To skip the wait entirely, book a time on DJ’s calendar.
Will I be pressured to sign a long-term contract?
No. The strategy call is not a high-pressure sales pitch, and service agreements typically start with six months, then renew monthly with 30 days’ cancellation notice. Prices are published up front: websites typically cost $5,000, local SEO 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 with no contract. You decide what fits after the call.
Do you work with businesses outside Portland?
Yes. Lithium is headquartered in Portland, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, and works with service businesses across the United States, including Dixie Glass on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Biermann Plumbing & Heating in western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut. We meet every client by video, and project work runs on Zoom, email, shared documents and Loom videos.
Can I call your AI receptionist right now?
Yes. Call (503) 766-5964 at any hour and Lithium’s AI receptionist answers, the same fully managed system clients put on their own phones for $179 a month. It answers your questions, qualifies your call and can book your strategy call, and the strategy call itself is always with DJ. That makes the call a live demo of what your customers would hear. On your own line, it answers in your brand voice and can be live within days.
