Plumbing

Example business: a 14-van plumbing business based in Atlanta, serving the wider Atlanta area and focused on water heater replacement and sewer line repair. Businesses like this often get many inquiries through Angi and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often goes to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive calls and inquiries, 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 inquiry 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 (frozen and burst pipe calls spike in northern states in winter; water heater failures rise in colder months nationwide) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.

The approach

Three services, one goal

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

What the work could include

The technical work, service by service.

Service 1

Google Ads

  • Restructure the account into single-theme ad groups by job type, with exact and phrase match only and a negative keyword list.
  • Install call tracking and import booked jobs from the CRM as offline conversions, so bidding optimises for revenue, not form fills.
  • Move from manual CPC to Maximize Conversion Value with a target ROAS once enough conversions a month are flowing.
  • Set up and manage Google Local Services Ads next to search campaigns, disputing invalid leads weekly.

Service 2

Business Listings & Citations

  • Claim and complete profiles on Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect and local and industry directories.
  • Clean name, address and phone details everywhere, removing duplicate listings that split reviews and confusing Google.
  • Add services, photos, opening hours, license numbers and booking links to every profile, with UTM tags to track leads by source.
  • Set up monthly listing monitoring so incorrect edits by users or aggregators are caught and fixed within days.

Service 3

Local SEO & Google Maps

  • Rebuild the Google Business Profile: correct the primary category, add secondary categories and services with descriptions and a service area matched to the real travel radius.
  • Publish suburb and area pages across the wider Atlanta area, each with local job photos, travel times and area-specific FAQs.
  • Launch a review request flow by SMS after every completed job to encourage a steady flow of new reviews.
  • Track rankings on a 9x9 geo-grid around the office to see Maps visibility street by street, not just from one location.
