Why the phone rings

Emergencies call once.
Then they call someone else.

Plumbing searchers are ready to buy: 7.63% of plumbing Search-ad clicks turn into a lead, one of the highest rates in home services (LocaliQ, 2025). But when nobody picks up, only 42% leave a voicemail (CallRail, 2025). The rest call the next plumber.

Nights and weekends go to voicemailThe highest-value calls — burst pipes, no hot water, backed-up sewers — come when the office is closed.
Small jobs eat the ad budgetWithout the right structure, a $129 lead for a $99 drain clear loses money before the truck leaves.
No reason to call you backOne-off customers who never hear from you again book whoever shows up first next time.
How it works

Three steps. More trucks rolling.

01

Revamp the website

Emergency service front and center, upfront pricing or a service-call fee, reviews in view and a tap-to-call button that's impossible to miss.

02

Push paid traffic to it

Local Services ads with the Google Verified badge, plus Search ads weighted toward water heaters, repipes, sewer lines and emergencies.

03

Every call answered

Your AI receptionist answers in seconds at 2am, gives basic shut-off guidance, and books the job or pages your on-call tech.

"Gas. Okay, it's off."
Perfect. I can get a plumber to you at 7am, first job of the day. Should I book it?
"Yes."

Your Local Services ads are moving
into Google Ads.

Google named plumbing in the first wave, from August 2026. Your Local Services campaign becomes a Performance Max campaign with a pay-per-lead goal. Lead history carries over automatically; performance reports (impressions, clicks, weekly spend) don't. Manual bidding and weekly budgets go away — you get one target cost per lead and a daily budget. Admins get 14 days' notice by email, then a reminder 7 days later.

Run your numbers

What your ad budget
should be turning into.

The default job value is the average plumbing job, which is small. The math improves fast when you answer every call, keep cost per lead down and count repeat customers — set your own numbers.

The guarantee

25 qualified leads in 90 days — or you don't pay the management fee.

Tied to an agreed monthly ad budget, because lead volume is a function of spend. We size that budget up front so 25 leads fits comfortably inside 90 days at typical plumbing cost per lead.

Straight answers

Plumbing: the questions
we always get.

Plumbing jobs are small. Can ads really pay off?
Only if the system is tight: cost per lead kept down with Local Services, every call answered, and ads weighted toward bigger jobs like water heaters and sewer lines. Our calculator starts from the small average job on purpose — set it to your own mix.
What happens to emergency calls at night?
The AI receptionist answers, gives basic shut-off guidance, and either books the first slot or pages your on-call tech, depending on how you want it handled.
Is my Local Services account being migrated?
Plumbing is in Google's first wave from August 2026. Lead history carries over; performance reports don't, so save them first. We handle the move.
Who owns the website and ad account?
You do. Domain, site, Google Ads account and Business Profile stay in your name, and you pay Google directly for ad spend.
