The whole plan

What a Tallahassee marketing plan should cover

Tallahassee service businesses often buy marketing one piece at a time, and Lithium Marketing puts the website, search, ads and phones on one plan with published prices. About 150 searches a month put Tallahassee next to the words marketing or agency, so the plan starts with the trade searches below.

The city sits inside Leon County, which has 8,163 businesses in all, and a plan built only for the city limits leaves out the county customers a growing contractor can reach.

The city, the county, the metro

Three geographies, one marketing plan

Leon County holds 299,048 residents, and the Tallahassee metro area holds 397,442. If your crews work beyond the city line, the plan should name those places and measure them separately.

Leon County’s only incorporated city is Tallahassee, which leaves every other community with its own name in search. Area pages and the cities you bid on should follow the names your customers use, not a county label.

Trades in Leon County

The trades that fill Leon County

Two of Leon County’s biggest project trades are its 105 residential remodelers and 70 new home builders. A remodeler or builder sells a large job, so the site needs finished-project galleries, a page per project type and a quote form that asks for scope and timing.

Leon County has 66 electrical contractors, and 49 painting contractors, so a page for each kind of job can do more than a single page for the trade. Repair work lives on the phone, so a plumber or an HVAC company needs the line answered and the Google Business Profile complete before the ad budget grows.

The order of work

The order Lithium works in

We measure what a lead is worth, then fix the page and the phone before buying more traffic.

1

Agree what a lead is worth

You put a number on a booked job, so every channel gets judged by the same measure.

2

Get the site ready for traffic

If the site is slow or hides the phone number, that gets fixed before more traffic is bought.

3

Choose the first channel

SEO, Google Ads or the phone line, whichever is losing you the most work now.

4

Connect the phones

Once calls are coming, the AI receptionist answers them and custom automation handles follow-up.

Proof

The septic case on the card

The card shows Byers Septic Service, a septic contractor that hired Lithium for its website, its SEO and its Google Ads. Chris Martin, who owns Mt. Hood Pro Painting, adds a separate owner’s view of the agency beside it.

“Ever since we've used Lithium Marketing, our phone has been ringing off the hook and we can hardly keep up with the leads we get from Google, Facebook or through our website. Most of our leads other than referrals are through Google and it's all because of Lithium Marketing.”

FAQ

Choosing the first service for a Tallahassee business

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What should a Tallahassee owner fix first?

Look at where a customer is lost. Calls that ring out after hours point to the AI receptionist. A site that hides the phone number or the quote form points to a rebuild. A site that converts the visitors it gets points to SEO or Google Ads for more of them. The first call settles that order with a co-founder, using your own call and form numbers.

Do we have to buy the whole plan at once?

You can pick one service and leave the rest. Start with the piece that is failing, then add search, ads or the phone line when the first result shows in the tracking. Nothing forces all four into the first invoice.

How does Lithium work with a Tallahassee business?

Lithium is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a team in Portland, Bend and Seattle, working with every client by video. Strategy calls run with a co-founder, Allison McKenney answers the day-to-day account questions, and every meeting happens on a screen you can join from a job site.

What does the whole plan cost?

Website work is typically $5,000, and SEO is $1,300–$3,000 a month. Google Ads starts at $500 a month in management, plus ad spend, and the AI receptionist is $179 a month, with no contract and no setup fee. Custom automation is scoped after a free discovery call. Nothing comes bundled, so you choose the pieces you start with.

Will the plan fit a trade like mine?

The four services are built for home service and trade businesses: plumbers, HVAC companies, roofers, electricians, landscapers, painters and remodelers. A one-location shop and a company with several crews get the same plan at different scope, and the first call sets which parts you need now.
