Sunnyvale PPC, answered

Where a Sunnyvale ads budget goes first

A garage door repair search in Sunnyvale costs $73.22 a click on average, more than any other trade search here, and a landscaping search costs $0.68. Lithium Marketing builds the campaign around that gap: a trade with expensive clicks needs a landing page that converts before the budget grows, and a cheap one can be tested inside a week.

Management starts at $500 a month, plus ad spend, and the rest of the budget follows the work you can take. A remodeler's campaigns should chase the project types the crews are set up for, while a landscaper can spread a small budget across several services and keep the ones that book.

The Sunnyvale market

High-value work and a dry season

Sunnyvale's median household income is $186,170, which supports bidding on higher-value work. The page behind the ad still has to convert before the budget grows.

Summers here are long, warm and very dry, and winters are short, cool and wet. If your trade's calls follow that rhythm, roof repairs after the first rain or irrigation work in the dry months, the campaign calendar should follow it too, with the budget heavier in the weeks the phone usually rings.

Trades in Santa Clara County

Which county trades need a different campaign

Residential remodelers are the county's biggest group at 892, and a remodeling job is a project. Paid search for that work should aim at the project types the crews want, with a landing page that shows the finished kind of project and a form that asks for scope and timing.

Landscaping is the county's third-largest group at 508 businesses, and excavation and site preparation contractors number 78. That last group sells large jobs from a small base, so its campaign should bid on the specific work and skip the broad terms that rarely book.

Your first month

The first four weeks on a Sunnyvale account

Tracking goes in before the budget moves, and the campaigns follow what the account learns.

1

Read the account first

Whatever is running now gets reviewed: campaigns that produce calls stay, and search terms that spend without booking are listed for cutting.

2

Tie the phone to the keyword

Call and form tracking go in together, so each lead arrives attached to the keyword and the ad that produced it.

3

Build a page per job

The work you want more of gets its own campaign and a landing page built to answer the question that search asks.

4

Keep what books

After launch the account gets a daily pass through the first 30 days, then weekly, with bids moving toward the terms that booked work and away from the ones that did not.

What every Google Ads account includes

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

The Dixie Glass case covers three services for a Mississippi Gulf Coast company: Google Ads, the website those ads land on and the SEO that backs both, so the card's numbers belong to all three. The quote beside it is from Kevin Atiyeh, whose carpet and rug business is Atiyeh Bros.

What Sunnyvale owners ask about paid search

How big a budget does a Sunnyvale campaign need?

A budget big enough that the calls it buys cost less than the work they bring in. The trade's click price and how well the landing page turns a click into a call set the number. Garage door clicks cost the most here and landscaping the least, so the two trades get different budgets. The starting figure is agreed on the strategy call and adjusted once real costs show up.

When do the first calls arrive?

Calls usually start inside the first seven days, provided tracking is live before the budget starts. Then the account gets worked: terms that do not book are cut, the winners get more room, and cost per lead usually settles as the data grows.

What agreement covers paid search?

Six months is the usual first term, after which it becomes month to month on 30 days' notice. The fee itself is quoted up front and depends on three things: how much you put into ads, which channels we run and how much landing page work the account needs.

Do you advertise on Meta or Microsoft too?

Sometimes, when your buyers are there. Meta, on Facebook and Instagram, and Microsoft Ads are both managed by Lithium. Either can sit beside Google when your customers already use it or Google clicks in your trade get expensive, and each gets its own tracking and budget.

What does the monthly report show?

Three numbers by campaign: calls, leads and cost per lead, each attached to the keyword that produced it. Mark the leads that turned into jobs and the same report carries a campaign through to the invoice.
