The problem

Sick of the lead site race to the bottom?

You're a skilled plumber, but you're stuck fighting for scraps on lead sites where the cheapest quote wins. Our marketing for tradies is built to get you off that treadmill.

✕ Paid leads shared with other plumbers

✕ Customers only care about price

✕ No online presence to speak of

✕ Feast or famine job flow

Our approach

How we get plumbers more work.

01

Google Ads for emergency and planned work

Blocked drains at 10pm? Hot water systems on the fritz? Our Google Ads management for tradies puts you in front of customers when they're desperate to find a plumber. We don't bid on generic "plumber" terms. We target the high-margin queries that actually win you booked work.

Why it works for plumbers: emergency searches have the highest intent. Someone with a burst pipe wants a plumber now, not three quotes.

02

Local SEO domination

Show up in the map pack when someone searches "plumber near me." As part of our SEO for tradies, we rebuild your Google Business Profile properly, get citations consistent across the web, deploy LocalBusiness schema, and run a review velocity workflow so your star count grows monthly.

Why it works for plumbers: the local pack sits above the regular results for "plumber near me", so it is the first thing people see.

03

A website that converts

Fast, professional, with clear calls to action. Like all our websites for tradies, your site is built around how customers actually decide. Phone-prominent for emergencies, photos of your team, transparent pricing where possible, and trust signals front and centre.

Why it works for plumbers: someone with a leak picks a plumber fast. Click-to-call buttons and instant text message (SMS) follow-up help make sure you are the one they reach.

04

Reputation building

Get more Google reviews and showcase them properly. Social proof is everything in trades. We can set up a post-job review request workflow to build your Google Business Profile authority, help you reply to reviews, and put the good ones on your website.

Why it works for plumbers: customers check reviews before they call. A steady flow of fresh, strong reviews helps both conversion and local pack ranking.

Common questions

The questions plumbers ask us most.

Can you help me get more emergency callouts?

Yes. Emergency callouts are some of the highest-value work for plumbers, and we structure dedicated Google Ads campaigns around emergency-intent keywords like "burst pipe", "blocked drain emergency", "hot water leak". We pair these with always-on bidding and click-to-call ad extensions so customers can reach you instantly. We also build emergency-specific landing pages that prioritise the phone number above everything else.

I already have a website, do I need a new one?

Not necessarily. We audit your current website first and tell you honestly whether it's holding you back or if it just needs tweaks. Plenty of plumbing websites have the basics but lack conversion optimisation: missing call buttons, slow load times, no clear pricing transparency, weak service pages. Sometimes a refresh is enough; sometimes a rebuild is the better investment.

How do you handle the seasonal slowdowns?

Plumbing has predictable seasonal patterns. Wet season drives drainage work, summer brings more hot water failures, winter pushes heating-related jobs. We build campaigns that flex with these patterns, increasing budget on high-demand months and shifting toward planned-work keywords (renovations, replacements, maintenance) during quieter months.

How much should a plumbing business spend on marketing per month?

It really depends. Three things drive the right number: your location (clicks usually cost more in major cities than in regional markets), your competition (how many other specialists are bidding on your terms), and your account setup (a properly built account converts far better than a poor one). We give a real recommendation in the free marketing review based on your specific business, not a generic range.

Will I rank #1 on Google for "plumber Gold Coast"?

Top 3 in the local pack is a realistic goal when we fix the Google Business Profile, deploy schema markup, build reviews, and run targeted local content. #1 in the local pack depends on competition density in your specific service area. We give you an honest assessment in the marketing review before promising anything.

Do you only work with plumbers on the Gold Coast?

No. We take on plumbing businesses anywhere in Australia. Our process works regardless of geography. We just adapt the Google Ads targeting and local SEO to your specific service area.

What's the minimum engagement and is there a lock-in?

There's no minimum term. It's month-to-month with 30 days notice. SEO and Google Business Profile changes take a few months to show their full effect, so we'll be upfront about timing, but we don't believe in trapping clients into long contracts. We would rather keep clients because the work is bringing in booked jobs.

Do you do work outside of marketing, like website builds?

Yes. We build the websites that convert the leads we generate. Where a site needs work, we start in month 1, usually with a refreshed homepage, dedicated service pages for emergency callouts and planned work, and conversion-focused landing pages for the Google Ads.
