Case Study: Plumbing SEO Success with Trendwise SEO

The Story Behind the Success

Like many plumbing businesses, our client had a stellar reputation built over 20+ years of experience and excellent service. Yet, their phone wasn’t ringing enough. Competitors with less experience were winning jobs simply because they appeared higher in Google search results.

Their Breaking Point

  • Watching younger companies consistently outrank them on Google.
  • Paying for expensive Google Ads with inconsistent results.
  • Receiving barely any inquiries from their website.
  • Missing emergency calls to competitors, especially after hours.

How We Turned Things Around

At Trendwise SEO, we cut through the noise and focused on what truly matters to plumbing businesses: visibility, trust, and leads.

Getting Found When It Matters Most

We made sure their business appeared when locals searched for:

  • Emergency plumbing services (especially after hours).
  • Water heater repairs.
  • Leak detection and repair.
  • General plumbing services.

Through strategic keyword optimization and geo-targeting, we secured top positions for high-intent searches.

Building Local Trust

We optimized their Google Business Profile (GBP) to make it a lead-generating machine:

  • Highlighted their 20+ years of experience and licensed, insured status.
  • Showcased their emergency availability to capture after-hours calls.
  • Ensured their contact information was prominent and easy to click on mobile devices.

 A Mobile-First Approach

Since 66% of emergency plumbing searches happen on mobile phones, we ensured their GBP and website were optimized for mobile. Customers could find, call, or message them in seconds.
