West Linn PPC, explained

What West Linn clicks cost, and where the budget goes

Lithium Marketing manages Google Ads for West Linn service businesses and measures every campaign by the cost of the leads it brings in. The trade table shows how wide the price range is: $208.80 for an average click on “hvac repair west linn” and $61.49 for “plumber west linn”. At those prices, no call should come in without a tracked source behind it.

Search volume naming West Linn is modest. The busiest trade search in the table, “roofing company west linn”, draws about 90 a month at $48.12 a click, so a campaign aimed only at the city limits has a small pool of searches to work with. We usually build one campaign that covers West Linn and the nearby cities you serve, with a separate bid for each.

The West Linn market

Drawing the ad map around West Linn

West Linn sits between the Willamette and Tualatin rivers on 7.43 square miles of land. A radius drawn around the city spills into places you may not serve, so we target by city and ZIP code and add Oregon City, Lake Oswego or Tualatin only if your crews take jobs there.

A county-wide campaign would reach all 426,280 Clackamas County residents, including towns your crews may not cover. City-level targeting keeps the budget on jobs you can take.

Trades in Clackamas County

How hard to bid, trade by trade

Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning is a large group, with 216 contractors in Clackamas County, and its searches carry the steepest clicks in the West Linn table. For those companies we split repair from installation and maintenance, give each its own ad group and landing page, and bid hardest on the terms your tracking shows turning into booked repairs.

Garage door companies don’t appear on the county chart, yet their West Linn click costs $61.39, close to plumbing. A garage door business can compete for those clicks with a landing page for each repair, from broken springs to openers, and ads that run only during the hours it can send a tech.

The first month

The first 30 days of a West Linn campaign

Every step below ties spend to calls you can count.

1

Map the cities and jobs

You tell us which jobs you want and which cities your crews cover, and we build the geography and keyword list around exactly that.

2

Track calls to the search term

Before any budget moves, each phone call and form fill is tied to the exact search that triggered it.

3

Write ads and pages per job

Each job type gets its own ad group and a landing page with the phone number first, so a click on water heater repair lands on water heater repair.

4

Prune search terms as data comes in

Through the first 30 days we review search terms and bids every day, then weekly, with calls, leads and cost per lead reported each month.

FAQ

West Linn Google Ads questions

DJ Van Zanten

Still curious?

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

What ad budget makes sense with West Linn’s small search volumes?

One sized to every city you serve, not West Linn alone. A typical account runs $2,000 to $5,000 a month in ad spend, with $500 to $1,500 a month in management on top of that ad spend. Your starting number comes from your trade’s click price and the cities you cover, and we revisit it after the first month of tracked calls.

What does the PPC agreement look like?

You commit to the first six months; after that the agreement rolls month to month, and 30 days’ notice ends it. The fee is settled before any ad runs, and it is revisited only when ad spend rises, a channel such as Microsoft Ads is added or new landing pages are needed.

Are HVAC clicks in West Linn too expensive to buy?

Not if the repairs they book pay for them. HVAC repair has the highest average click in the table, so we buy those clicks only with call tracking running and compare each campaign’s cost per booked repair with what the repairs bring in. When the math doesn’t work, the budget moves to cheaper terms or to SEO.

What does the monthly PPC report show?

Calls, leads and cost per lead, broken out by campaign and city, with the search terms that produced them. If your team flags which calls turned into jobs, the report can show cost per booked job too, and budget follows the campaigns with the best number.

Do the ads need their own landing pages?

Yes, for most jobs. An ad for spring repair that lands on a homepage makes the visitor hunt; a page about spring repair, with the phone number first, gives them what the ad promised. We build those pages during setup, and the management fee reflects that work.
