Start with the cost of attention

Greensboro PPC needs a spending plan before a bigger budget

Lithium Marketing manages paid search for Greensboro service businesses with the budget tied to leads and the work they become. “Water damage restoration greensboro” averages $107.33 per click. At that price, a vague ad or a page with a buried phone number is an expensive way to learn. We define the offer and test tracking before spending more.

A customer looking for a repair needs different information from someone comparing a larger project. Campaigns and landing pages should reflect that difference. We check which searches bought visits, which produced contacts and what your staff says about the jobs, then adjust the account accordingly.

Timing and capacity

Let customer demand and crew availability guide the calendar

Greensboro summers are hot and humid. If your HVAC calls rise during hot weather, plan the ad budget and appointment capacity together. A weather pattern is a reason to check your own booking history, then prepare the offer and staffing for the periods that have mattered to your business.

Keep the ad promise within the service you can deliver. If a roofer’s schedule fills or a landscaper stops taking a particular project, the offer and spending need to change with it. We agree on how you will report those changes so campaigns do not keep inviting work you cannot book.

Give the ad a specific job

Specific offers help buyers choose among county businesses

Guilford County’s landscaping category contains 202 establishments. A landscape business should advertise the service it wants to sell, such as ongoing care or an installation, and show matching work on the landing page. We can exclude searches for jobs or supplies when they consume budget intended for customers.

The combined plumbing, heating and air-conditioning category has 191 establishments in Guilford County. For a business in that group, separating services keeps a repair campaign from paying to promote work the company does not offer. The account should reflect your capabilities, not the breadth of a trade label.

Account setup and ongoing attention

Make the campaign accountable before scaling it

We agree on the spending limit and the meaning of a lead before changing the account.

1

Inspect search terms and conversion data

We review existing ads, the searches that triggered them and how contacts are counted. We fix tracking gaps and flag irrelevant searches before proposing budget changes.

2

Match the promise to the page

Each offer gets ad copy and a landing page that explain the same service. You verify coverage and availability before customers see it.

3

Verify calls and forms are recorded

We test conversion tracking and check that reports distinguish customer contacts from simple page visits. You provide feedback on which leads became estimates or jobs.

4

Keep adjusting against the results

Optimization is daily during the first 30 days, then weekly. Bids, search terms and spending are reviewed alongside the services your crews can deliver.

What every Google Ads account includes

The same eight parts go into every Google Ads account, wherever the business is.

FAQ

Before funding Greensboro paid search

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What do we pay Lithium, and what do we pay for ads?

Management starts from $500 a month, plus ad spend. The fee changes with ad spend, the channels managed and landing page work. We set out those costs separately so you can evaluate the full budget before launch; Google’s advertising charges are not the management payment.

How do you decide if our proposed ad budget is enough?

We compare the services you want to advertise with click costs, the landing page and what a completed job is worth. The starting budget needs room to learn without exceeding what you can sustain. If the likely lead costs do not suit the offer, we recommend changing the scope before spending.

When can a new Google Ads campaign bring contacts?

Initial results typically arrive within the first week, although the number and quality of contacts vary. Early results help us check search terms and the page’s response. A few calls are a starting point for improvement, not a reason to assume the campaign is ready for a larger budget.

Can you judge performance if we do not use a CRM?

Your staff’s booking feedback can still help us evaluate campaigns. The report shows calls, leads and average cost per lead, and you tell us which contacts became work. If a CRM connection would improve that process, we review the system and tracking setup before promising an integration.

What terms apply if we want you to manage PPC?

A usual service agreement covers an initial six months, followed by monthly renewal with 30 days’ notice. Confirm those terms alongside the management scope and separate ad budget before signing. If you also want Facebook or Instagram advertising, we can include Meta as a defined additional channel.
