Buy clicks with a plan
Stockton PPC services priced against your jobs
Lithium Marketing plans and runs paid campaigns for Stockton service businesses around the jobs they need to book. A click on “hvac repair stockton” averages $74.56. At that price, the landing page and phone response deserve as much attention as the ad: paying for a visitor who cannot reach you is expensive.
We agree on a starting budget, set up conversion tracking and match each campaign to a service you sell. Monthly reports show leads and average cost per lead. Tell us which calls led to estimates or jobs, and we can use that feedback to improve the campaign choices.
What the auction costs
Cheap clicks and expensive clicks need the same scrutiny
The recorded click price for “landscaping stockton” is $5.45. A lower average click cost can make an initial test more affordable, but the campaign still needs a specific offer. We separate the searches for work you sell from unrelated terms and send visitors to a page that explains that service.
Plumbing and roofing searches have their own prices: $36.07 per click for “plumber stockton” and $12.28 for “roofing company stockton”. Neither figure sets your final lead cost. We measure calls and forms after the click, check the quality with your team and adjust the spending on that basis.

Schedule spend around your business
Use your booking history to plan Stockton campaigns
Stockton has very hot, arid summers and cool, wet winters. If those conditions affect your service calls or available work dates, we use your booking history to plan changes in advertising. A heating and cooling company can prepare service-specific campaigns; a landscaper can schedule a project offer around the work it can deliver.
Campaign boundaries matter as much as timing. A busy team may want work close to its existing jobs, while another has room to serve more cities. We set geographic targets with you and review the calls coming from those areas before recommending expansion.

Compete on a defined service
Give Stockton searchers a reason to call your ad
Roofing contractors have 57 establishments in San Joaquin County. A roof repair ad should explain the repair service on its landing page, with a contact option visible immediately. If replacement is a separate offer, give it its own message and judge the leads separately.
The San Joaquin County count for plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors is 202. Within that group, companies offer different jobs and hours. We write ads around your available services and exclude searches you cannot fulfill, so a broad industry label does not dictate your spending.

Advertising as part of the work
The website, search and ad program for Byers
Lithium’s work for Byers Septic Service covered Google Ads as well as website design and SEO. The septic company’s case reports that program’s results. For another owner’s view, read Daniel Busby’s account of working with Lithium at Willard Power Vac, which cleans air ducts, dryer vents and chimneys.
Septic“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.”

FAQ
Stockton paid advertising decisions, explained
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
What changes the PPC management fee?
Management starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend, and the fee depends on ad spend, advertising channels and landing page work. We set out those items before launch. The advertising budget is separate, so you can see what pays for campaign work and what pays the ad platform.
How soon will a campaign give us something to evaluate?
Initial results typically appear during the first week of advertising. We watch the tracking, search terms and calls as they arrive, then check with your team about lead quality. A few early calls can expose a problem, but budget decisions need enough activity to judge the service you are testing.
Can Google Ads make sense with costly clicks?
Google Ads can make sense when the jobs won cover the campaign’s costs. Your margins, booking rate and landing page performance matter alongside the click price. We discuss those factors before setting a test budget, and use campaign average cost per lead with your booking feedback to decide what to change.
Do you also run ads on Facebook or other channels?
Lithium manages Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, Microsoft Ads and other supported advertising channels as well as Google. We recommend a channel when it suits the offer and audience. A project-focused campaign may need different creative and landing pages from a search ad for a repair.
Are we locked into the same advertising plan for the contract?
The campaign can change as results and your workload change. A six-month initial term applies to the usual agreement. After that, service renews monthly and requires 30 days’ notice to end. We agree the scope and budget with you, and review performance before proposing a different channel, area or level of spending.
