Where SEO starts
For San Francisco service businesses, Lithium Marketing handles the website pages, business listings and review requests that support local SEO. When we checked “plumber san francisco”, the Map Pack appeared first. Its three listings carried 772, 1,900 and 1,200 Google reviews. Your plan starts with accurate profile details and a review request customers can use after a job; Google determines which businesses appear.
San Francisco’s neighborhood names need care on a website. The Richmond is a neighborhood north of Golden Gate Park, and Richmond is also a separate California city with its own SEO page linked below. An area page titled for “the Richmond District, San Francisco” that mentions Golden Gate Park makes it clear to Google which one you serve.
What people type
A roof replacement customer needs different answers from someone with a blocked drain. We separate those jobs in your site’s page plan before writing. The broad searches give us a starting point: “roofing company san francisco” has about 720 monthly searches, compared with 880 for “electrician san francisco” and 3,600 for “plumber san francisco”. Your own services determine which of those customers the pages should address.
Owners shopping for SEO help search by the city too, with about 390 searches a month for “seo company san francisco”. If you are comparing agencies from those results, ask how each one reports. Lithium’s monthly report counts the calls and leads your pages and profile produce, with rankings shown beside them.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |

| seo agency san francisco | 390 | $10.11 |
| seo company san francisco | 390 | $10.11 |

Districts and hills
San Francisco has more than 50 hills within the city limits, and neighborhoods like Nob Hill, Potrero Hill and Russian Hill are named for them. On a neighborhood service page, describe jobs you have done there and name the surrounding streets or landmarks. That helps a reader recognize the area you cover and gives the page detail beyond a city name.
The city also has thousands of smaller buildings that remain vulnerable to quake damage. If you take on seismic upgrades, foundation work or structural repair, give that work its own page, separate from general remodeling, so an owner researching it finds your service and your phone number in one place.

The county’s trades
Painting contractors number 133 in San Francisco County. For a painter, the profile’s primary category, photos of finished rooms and a run of recent reviews give Google and customers reasons to pick one listing over the next.
Electrical contractors number 176 in San Francisco County. Give panel upgrades, rewiring and lighting their own explanations, with photos and answers to the questions you hear before an estimate. A customer should be able to tell which service to call about without knowing the technical name for it.

Month by month
The order matters: Google has to read the site before pages and profile work can pay off.
We start with speed, indexing and internal links, since technical fixes are usually the first thing to show movement.
We set the categories and services to match what you sell, add job photos and set up a review request you can send after each job.
A page for each service you want to grow, plus district pages for parts of the city such as the Richmond, the Sunset or Potrero Hill.
Your business details are made identical on Yelp, Thumbtack, Facebook and other directories, and link building points to the service and district pages that drive calls.
What every SEO retainer includes
The same eight parts go into every SEO retainer, wherever the business is.
SEO, site and ads together
F&W Fence Co. is a fence company, and the card shows what changed after Lithium gave it a new website, SEO and Google Ads working together. In the quote beside it, Atiyeh Bros’ Kevin Atiyeh says Lithium understood the carpet and rug company and what it specializes in.

Lithium’s SEO runs $1,300–$3,000 a month, scoped against what a new customer is worth to you. Three things set the number: how many services and districts need pages, how much repair your site and Google profile need first, and how hard the searches you want are to win. You see the scope and the price before anything starts.
Revenue generally begins building from month four, after the early site and ranking work. Technical repairs usually show movement inside 30 days; local and long-tail rankings typically follow at 60 to 90 days. We track calls from the start so you can judge progress against your own business, with no promised ranking or call count.
You commit to the initial six months of work; after that, the retainer renews monthly and can end with 30 days’ notice. Early work covers technical repairs, your profile and the first service and district pages. The proposal spells out that scope before you sign.
It does, at no extra cost. Answer-first service pages, schema and business details that match everywhere make your company easier for AI tools to read. No AI Overview showed for “plumber san francisco” when we checked, and that can change at any time, so the work is built for both kinds of results. No one can promise an AI mention.
Provide account access, check the service details we write and send review requests after completed jobs. We also need your target neighborhoods and photos of work we can describe. Lithium handles the writing and technical changes, while your team tells us which leads became jobs so the report reflects sales as well as calls.
