Local SEO for plumbers.

The work that gets a plumbing company into the map and the search results when people nearby look for a plumber, drain cleaning or a new water heater. It covers your Google Business Profile, your reviews and photos, your listings across the web and the pages on your website.

Our plans start from $499 a month for one plumbing company, month to month, with no setup fee. Professional starts from $1,299 a month for up to 3 locations and Dominate from $3,799 for up to 3 with the most work each month. Four to ten locations are $400 a month plus $250 a location. The exact plan and price are agreed on the call.

Profile changes like the service area, the category and the services are usually made in the first weeks, though Google may take a few days to review them. Moving up the map usually takes months, depending on how strong the plumbers above you are. After the free check we tell you what looks realistic for your area.

Yes, many plumbers work that way. Google's own guidelines use a plumber working from home as the example: clear the address from the profile and set a service area instead. The profile then shows the areas you serve, and you can show up on the map in them.

No. Google allows up to 20 service areas and asks that the whole area stay within about two hours' drive of where you're based. List the towns and ZIP codes where you do most of your work. Distance is one of the three things Google ranks on, so towns far from your base are the hardest to show up in.

Google asks for your real customer-facing hours, so list 24 hours only if someone really answers the phone at night. Add emergency plumbing as a service, and have a page on your website that says you take emergency calls and which towns you cover. Distance still counts at night, so you'll show up most often near your base.

No. Google's guidelines don't allow taglines, service information or location information in the business name, so the name on the profile is the one on your truck, invoices and website. We work on the services, the service area and the pages instead.

They're a separate product. Local Services Ads are ads at the top of the page, with the Google Verified badge, and you pay when a customer gets in touch through the ad. Google says there's no way to pay for a better local ranking, so running them doesn't move you on the map. We look after the profile and the map, not the ads.

A request goes to every customer the same way after the job, usually by text, with a direct link to your review form. Google doesn't allow discounts or gifts for reviews, asking only the customers you expect to be happy, or reviews from your own staff, so we do none of those. How many reviews come in depends on your customers.

Yes. Keep the reply calm and short: thank them, explain the charge in a line or two without sharing private details, and give a number to call to sort it out. Your reply shows under the review for everyone who reads it, and we give you templates for it.

Each office with staff there during your hours can have its own profile, with its own service area. Google doesn't allow more than one profile for the same location, or a profile for an address that is only a mailbox or a virtual office. Professional covers up to 3 profiles and Dominate up to 10.

Yes. Your profile links to it, and Google uses it to confirm what your profile says. Pages for the towns you serve can help you show up beyond the area around your base, and every plan includes some.

Yes. The profile work takes an afternoon: the address, the service area, the category, the services and the hours. What takes time is keeping it up every month: review requests, replies, photos and listings.

No. Google says no one can guarantee a ranking, and anyone who does is guessing. We do the work inside Google's rules and show you the results in your monthly report.
