Plumbing

Example business: a 10-van plumbing business based in Amsterdam, serving the wider Amsterdam area and focused on bathroom and toilet renovations, plus leak detection and burst pipes. Businesses like this often get many enquiries through Werkspot and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often goes to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive calls and enquiries, a lower cost per booked job and a pipeline the owner controls.

The challenge

Where a business like this gets stuck

Emergency jobs go to whoever answers first, so missed calls after 5pm quietly hand revenue to competitors.
Lead marketplaces sell the same enquiry to three or four plumbers, which drives prices down and win rates with them.
Low-value tap and toilet jobs fill the diary while hot water, re-pipe and bathroom work, the jobs that pay, go elsewhere.
Peak season (burst pipes and heating-related plumbing calls rise in winter; bathroom renovation enquiries peak in january and spring) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.

The approach

Three services, one goal

This example focuses on Local SEO & Google Maps, Lead Generation Program and Business Listings & Citations, three channels that can suit plumbing businesses in Amsterdam. Every call, form and chat is tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so decisions are based on revenue, not clicks.
