Introduction


If you’re a plumber who’s great at what you do – but you’re not getting as many plumbing jobs as you should – it’s likely not your fault. Often, it’s not the quality of your work that’s lacking; it’s how your business shows up online. In today’s digital age, your online presence is often the deciding factor in how many leads you get.


Remember, most customers turn to Google first when they need a tradesperson. If you’re not visible and looking sharp online, you can bet a competitor who is will snag that job.


Your Competitors Are Winning Because They Look the Part


ree

Chances are, the competition in your area is getting those plumbing jobs not because they’re better plumbers, but because their online presence makes them look more professional and trustworthy. Here’s what they might be doing right (and how it’s giving them an edge):




  • Polished, Professional Websites: Their sites have a modern design that immediately builds trust. In fact, 75% of consumers admit they judge a company’s credibility based on its website design. If a rival’s site looks slick and up-to-date while yours looks like it’s from 2005, guess who the customer will contact first? First impressions count online just as much as in person.


  • Clear Presentation of Services: Top competitors don’t just list “Plumbing Services” in a vague way. They spell out specific offerings like Bathroom Installations, Leak Repairs, Emergency Callouts, Tap Replacements, etc., each on its own page or prominent section. This makes it immediately clear to visitors (and to Google) what they specialize in. They essentially “look the part” by showcasing exactly what they do, in language homeowners understand. (More on why this matters for Google rankings in a moment.)


  • Real Photos and Reviews: Rather than relying solely on generic stock photos, they show off real project photos – a newly installed bathroom suite, a fixed burst pipe, a happy customer, the team at work. They also prominently display testimonials or have strong Google review ratings. Considering that 87% of people trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, showcasing positive reviews and real-life proof of quality work can tip the scale in their favor. A homeowner browsing two websites is far more likely to call the plumber who shows evidence of good work and customer satisfaction.


  • Visibility on Google (“Plumber Near Me”): Perhaps most importantly, your competitors are showing up when locals search online. If you Google “plumber near me” or “bathroom fitter in [Your Town]”, those top spots – especially the Top 3 map listings – get the majority of the clicks (data suggests about two-thirds of all clicks go to these top 3 results).

    These winning competitors have invested in SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) so that Google features them prominently.


    They likely have dedicated pages about their key services (with the right keywords) and a well-maintained Google Business Profile. The result? They appear front-and-centre to customers ready to book, while businesses that aren’t optimized remain virtually invisible. Remember: if your business isn’t ranking on the first page of results, you’re essentially leaking customers to those who are.




Pro Tip: Take a quick look at a competitor’s website that does well. What stands out? Is it mobile-friendly and fast? Does it clearly say “Bathroom Installation” or “24/7 Emergency Plumber” with a friendly call-to-action? Emulating some of these qualities (in your own unique way) can immediately boost a visitor’s confidence in your business.


Why Your Website Might Be Holding You Back

ree


Now, let’s talk about your website (don’t worry, we won’t judge its looks – but customers might!). Even if you’re the most skilled plumber in town, certain website mistakes could be holding you back from getting leads. Here are some common issues that plague many plumbing websites, and why they matter:


  • No Dedicated Pages for Key Services: If your site doesn’t have specific pages all about each main service you offer (e.g. a page for Bathroom Installations, another for Leak Detection, another for Boiler Repairs, etc.), Google might not realize you provide those services – and Google ranks web pages, not just whole websites.


    This means you’re less likely to show up for specific service-related searches if all you have is a generic “Services” page. Top-ranking plumbing sites create dedicated pages for each important service (for example: “Bathroom Fitting,” “Emergency Plumbing Repairs,” “Water Heater Installation”). These pages are rich in relevant keywords and info, signaling to search engines, “Hey, we’re experts in this specific service.” Without such pages, it’s like trying to get customers for a service you never explicitly announced you offer.


  • No Clear Call-to-Action: When a potential customer lands on your site, what do you want them to do? Call you? Book an appointment online? Many plumbing sites bury their contact info or lack a strong call-to-action (CTA) like “Request a Free Quote” or “Call Now for Prompt Plumbing Service.” That’s a huge missed opportunity – in fact, about 70% of small business websites don’t feature a clear call-to-action on their homepage, leaving visitors guessing what to do next. If a homeowner has to dig for your phone number or isn’t sure how to proceed, there’s a good chance they’ll move on to another site (one that does guide them to make contact).


    Make it obvious what the next step is, and make it easy – a big, friendly button or prominently displayed phone number can dramatically increase inquiries.


  • Outdated Design or Not Mobile-Friendly: First impressions online happen in milliseconds. If your site looks old or cluttered, visitors may subconsciously trust you less. Worse, if your site is not mobile-friendly or loads slowly, you’ll lose people fast. Over half of all plumbing-related searches now happen on mobile phones, and if your site isn’t easy to use on a phone, potential customers will quickly hit the “back” button.


    In one study, 61% of users said they’ll leave a website immediately if it’s not optimized for mobile use. Think about that – more than half your visitors gone in a flash if your site doesn’t work well on their phone. Additionally, Google actively favors mobile-friendly sites in search rankings. So a site that isn’t responsive (i.e. adapting to mobile screens) might rank lower and drive away those who do click through. An outdated or broken site sends a message: “If they can’t be bothered to update their website, will they be responsive and professional in service?” – it may not be true, but it’s what customers will think.


In short, your website should be your hardest-working employee, not a liability. The good news is each of these issues has a fix – and often a relatively straightforward one. Let’s get into the fixes next.



How to Start Fixing This (Without Overwhelm)


Improving your online presence might sound daunting, especially if tech isn’t your favorite thing. But you don’t have to tackle everything at once. Start with a few high-impact changes. Here are practical steps to get more plumbing leads coming in by tweaking your website and online strategy:


  1. Create Dedicated Service Pages: If you do nothing else, do this – set up individual pages on your site for each of your main services. For example, have a page all about Bathroom Installations, another all about Leak Repairs, another for Emergency Plumbing, and so on. On each page, include details of what the service entails, why you’re qualified (e.g. any certifications like Gas Safe registration if relevant), warranties or guarantees you offer, and maybe starting prices or special offers.


    1. Explain the process briefly (homeowners love to know what to expect), and definitely mention the service + your town (e.g. “bathroom installation in [Your Town]”) a few times in the text naturally. This signals to Google that the page is highly relevant when someone searches for that service in your area. Also, potential customers landing on that page immediately see that you specialise in what they need. It’s a win-win for SEO and user experience.


  2. Add Real Images and Testimonials: People trust what they can see. Add some photos of jobs you’ve done – before-and-after shots work great if possible (e.g. an outdated bathroom vs. the shiny new one you installed, or the leaky pipe you fixed vs. the repaired plumbing). Even a short video tour of a recent project or a quick clip of you explaining what you did can be engaging. Alongside this, include a few customer testimonials, especially ones related to the service on that page (“Thanks to [Your Company], our bathroom remodel was stress-free and finished on time!” or “They fixed my burst pipe within an hour – life savers!”).


    ree

    1. These elements build credibility. Visitors subconsciously think, “Alright, this is a real business with real happy customers.” And as mentioned, the power of reviews and visuals is huge in building trust (remember that 87% of people trust online reviews like personal recommendations). If you don’t have fancy before/after photos, even a team photo or a snapshot of your van outside a client’s home can make your site feel more personal and trustworthy.


  3. Make Your Contact Info & CTA Unmissable: Ensure that on every page – especially those service pages – there’s a clear call-to-action. For example, a big, bold banner or button that says “Call 01234 567890 for Immediate Service” or “Get a Free Quote Now”. Your phone number should be in large text at the top and/or bottom of each page. Many successful plumber sites put the phone number in the header on every page, often in a contrasting color (and make sure it’s clickable on mobile).


    1. Also consider adding a simple contact form on each service page where someone can request a quote by entering their details. The key is to remove any friction for a potential lead: they shouldn’t have to search for how to contact you – it should be obvious. And make sure it all works on mobile just as well (tap-to-call buttons, forms that are easy to fill out on a phone, etc.). By making the next step painfully obvious, you’ll capture more inquiries from the traffic you already get.


  4. Optimise for Local Search Terms: This is a bit of a techy SEO thing, but you can handle it. Be sure to mention your service area on your site – not just on a Contact page, but woven into those service pages and in the site’s metadata (the page titles and descriptions that show up in Google results). For example, your bathroom installation page title could be “Bathroom Installations in [Your Town] | [Your Company Name]”. Within the page text, mention the areas you serve (cities, neighborhoods, suburbs).


    ree

    1. This way, when someone nearby searches, Google knows you’re relevant to that location. Include location-based keywords like “plumber in [Your Town]” or “emergency plumber [Region]” in your content where it fits naturally – this helps you dominate local Google results. Also, double-check that your Google Business Profile has the correct address, service radius, and that you’ve chosen the category “Plumber” (and any special categories like “Bathroom Remodeler” or “Gas Engineer” if applicable). This boosts your chances of showing up in that coveted “plumbers near me” map pack.


  5. Bonus – Speed and Mobile-Friendliness: While you’re at it, give your site a quick performance check. Does it load reasonably fast? (It doesn’t need to be instantaneous, but if it takes more than a few seconds, that’s a problem.) Use free tools like Google PageSpeed Insights if you’re curious. And test your site on your own phone – is everything readable and easy to navigate without pinching/zooming? A mobile-optimised site not only keeps visitors from bouncing, it also pleases Google’s ranking algorithm. If your site is on an older platform that isn’t mobile-friendly, consider updating the design or using a service that can convert it to a responsive layout. It’s worth it – people will literally judge your professionalism by how modern and smooth your website feels.


By starting with the above steps, you’ll transform your website into a far more effective lead-generation machine. Many plumbers find that just these changes can noticeably increase the calls and emails for general plumbing work coming through. But a great website isn’t the only way to bring in work – there are other online strategies too. Let’s briefly touch on those.




Leverage Paid Advertising for Quick Wins


A professional website is your foundation, but if you’re wondering how plumbers can get more leads quickly, paid online advertising is one answer. This means using platforms like Google and Facebook to get in front of potential customers right when they’re searching or scrolling. Here’s how it can help:


ree

  • Google Ads (Pay-Per-Click): Ever notice those search results at the very top with the little “Ad” label? You can be up there. With Google Ads, you bid on keywords like “plumber [Your Town]” or “bathroom installation cost [Your Region]” so that when someone searches that, your ad appears. You pay only when someone actually clicks to visit your site or calls you. The big advantage here is immediacy – unlike SEO (which can take time), PPC ads can start generating leads right away.


    For example, if it’s the middle of winter and you want more emergency calls this month, you can run ads and capture folks searching “burst pipe repair near me” or “heating not working emergency plumber.” Many plumbers use Google Ads to fill their schedule, especially for high-margin jobs like full bathroom refits or other large projects.


Pro Tip: Consider using Google’s Local Services Ads (the ones with the “Google Guaranteed” badge) if they’re available in your area – these show your business prominently with a phone number and have a high trust factor, often leading to higher conversion rates.

ree

  • Social Media Ads: Platforms like Facebook and Instagram might not be the first place you’d think customers look for a plumber, but they’re great for targeted advertising. You can run a local campaign showing an ad about, say, “Leaky Faucet Driving You Mad? Get It Fixed Today – Call Now!” or “Dreaming of a New Bathroom? Summer Discount Inside.” These ads can be targeted so that only people in your service area (within specific postcodes, age ranges, homeowners, etc.) see them.


    The people scrolling their feed might not have searched for a plumber yet, but if the timing is right (e.g. you run a “Get your pipes winter-ready” ad in the autumn, or a “Bathroom makeover special” ad in the spring), you can generate interest and leads proactively. Plus, social ads are generally cheaper per click than Google search ads. According to marketing experts, Facebook and Instagram ads can be a cost-effective way to reach homeowners in your area.


    Even a modest budget of £5-£10 a day for a short campaign could bring a handful of inquiries that turn into jobs worth thousands. The key is to have a compelling message and a clear call-to-action (like “Message us for a free quote” or “Call now” on the ad).


  • Retargeting and Follow-ups: One neat aspect of online ads is the ability to retarget people who visited your site but didn’t contact you. Ever looked at a product online and then ads for it followed you around on other websites? Small businesses can do that too. For instance, if someone visited your Bathroom Installation page but left without calling, you can have ads that gently remind them — “Still planning that bathroom upgrade? Get a free quote from [Your Biz]!” It’s a subtle nudge that can bring back a warm lead.


    This works via cookies and ad platforms like the Google Display Network or Facebook’s ad network. It’s worth considering once you have a decent amount of site traffic, because it keeps your business in front of people who already showed interest.


In short, paid ads are like putting a megaphone on your great new website – they amplify your reach quickly. The combination of a solid website (that converts visitors into callers) and smart ads (that drive the right visitors to the site) can dramatically boost your lead flow. Many businesses use SEO for long-term growth and PPC for immediate needs – doing both covers your bases. Just be sure you have the capacity to handle the inquiries; nothing’s worse than paying for a lead and then missing the call!



Refresh Your Branding to Stand Out


ree

You might not think branding matters for a local plumbing business, but it can make a surprising difference in how customers perceive you. Branding isn’t just a fancy logo – it’s the overall look, feel, and personality of your business in the public’s eye.


Why does this matter for getting more plumbing work? Because whether it’s a small leak repair or a big bathroom renovation, homeowners want to give the job to someone who appears trustworthy, established, and professional. Your branding (both online and offline) helps convey that message at a glance.


Consider a few branding elements and their impact:


  • Logo and Visuals: If your logo looks like it was drawn in MS Paint in 1998, it might be time for an update. A clean, modern logo (even just your business name in a nice font with a small icon) used consistently across your website, social media profiles, uniforms, and vans can make your business look more put-together.


    It signals that you take your business seriously – which implies you likely take your work seriously too. People do judge a book by its cover in business; an updated brand identity can subtly reassure a potential customer that you’re not a “cowboy” trader, but a professional outfit.


  • Brand Messaging: Think about a key message or slogan that represents you. For example, if you offer a wide range of plumbing services, maybe it’s “Your Local Plumbing Experts” or “No Leak Too Small, No Job Too Big.” Using a concise tagline like that on your website and marketing materials reinforces what you’re known for. It can also stick in someone’s mind. If Mrs. Jones down the road sees “The Neighborhood Plumber You Can Trust” on your van and later discovers a leaky pipe, who will she think of first?


  • Online Tone and Content: Branding is also how you talk to customers. Is your website copy friendly and helpful? Do you respond promptly and politely to Facebook comments or emails? A consistent, customer-centric tone (always being helpful, never too salesy or drowning people in jargon) builds a brand reputation of being approachable and professional.


    Even the way you present testimonials or answer FAQs on your site contributes to your brand. Aim for a tone that reflects your genuine personality but also instills confidence. For instance, if you’re cheerful and down-to-earth in person, let that come through in your “About Us” page or social posts, while still sounding like an expert.


  • Trust Signals: In the UK, things like the Gas Safe Register logo (for gas work), CIPHE membership (for plumbing professionals), or badges from Checkatrade/Trustpilot/Yell – these are all part of your brand’s trust signals. Make sure these badges or affiliations are visible on your site if you have them. They instantly lend credibility (the customer thinks, “Okay, they’re certified and vetted”). Trust is the currency for winning jobs, especially when inviting a tradesperson into one’s home for important work. Displaying these as part of your brand image can increase the chances a visitor becomes a caller.


Refreshing your branding doesn’t mean you need to spend thousands on a total rebrand. It can be as simple as standardising the look of your materials and making sure everything looks clean and cohesive. Take an honest look at your website design, your social media pages, even your email signature. Do they look like they’re from the same company? If not, a little redesign and consistency will go a long way.


The end goal: when someone finds you online, everything they see – from the logo, colors, and content – tells a story that this is a professional, reliable business. That feeling can be the deciding factor when they choose whom to call for a quote.


Streamline with Backend Automations (Work Smarter, Not Harder)


ree

Winning more work isn’t just about getting leads – it’s also about handling those leads efficiently once they come in. This is where backend automations and systems can be your secret weapon. As a busy tradesperson or business owner, you only have so many hours in a day. By automating some follow-ups and admin tasks, you ensure no potential customer slips through the cracks, and that your professionalism shines even when you’re juggling multiple jobs. Here are a few ideas:


  • Instant Lead Response: When a new inquiry comes in (whether via your website form, email, or even a Facebook message), speed matters. Studies show that the company who responds to a customer first is often the one who wins the business – homeowners might contact 2-3 plumbers at once and then go with the first responsive one. Implementing a system to respond quickly is crucial.


    For instance, set up an automatic email reply that says, “Thanks for contacting [Your Company]! We’ve received your request and will ring you back within 30 minutes.” This immediate acknowledgment reassures the customer and buys you a bit of time to actually call them. Even better, use a CRM or lead notification app that pings your phone the moment a new lead comes in.


    The faster you or someone on your team can personally respond, the higher your chance of conversion (in fact, the faster you contact leads, the higher your conversion rate will be). Some plumbing businesses even have a dedicated office admin or use a call answering service to ensure a human response happens super fast, even if the plumbers are busy on a job.


  • Scheduling and Follow-Up Automation: Consider using online scheduling tools or a CRM that can handle appointments and reminders. For example, if someone wants to book a site survey or get a quote for a larger job, you could send them a link to an online booking calendar where they can pick an available slot without back-and-forth calls.


    After you complete a job, have an automated text or email go out a week later thanking them and perhaps asking for a review (with a direct link to your Google review page to make it easy).


    You can also automate maintenance reminders – say you installed a new water heater or boiler for a customer, set your system to ping you (or email the client) 11 months later: “It’s been almost a year since we installed your system – would you like to schedule a check-up to ensure everything’s running smoothly?” This kind of follow-up not only generates repeat work, it shows you care beyond just the initial job.


  • Customer Database and Email Newsletters: Over time, compile a list of customers (with their permission) and keep notes on what services they’ve had. You can use this list to send periodic helpful content or offers – maybe a seasonal email newsletter.


    For example, a spring email with “5 Tips to Avoid Summer Plumbing Problems” or a pre-winter reminder: “How to Protect Your Pipes from Freezing – What Every Homeowner Should Know.” You might also announce any specials (“£50 off for returning customers” or “Refer a friend, get a reward” kind of thing). This isn’t a direct automation to get new leads, but it’s using digital tools to stay on your past customers’ radar.


    It’s much easier to get a repeat job or a referral from someone you’ve impressed before. There are simple email marketing tools (MailChimp, etc.) that let you send to your whole list at once. You don’t have to do it often – even a few times a year is fine – but it keeps your name fresh in their mind, so when they or someone they know needs a plumber, they remember you.


  • Quoting and Invoicing Software: This might be a bit beyond “lead generation,” but it’s worth mentioning for efficiency. Using plumbing business software (like Simpro, Jobber, Tradify, or even just well-organised templates on a tablet) to send out professional-looking quotes quickly can set you apart.


    Imagine: a lead comes in for a bathroom refit, and you are able to use an app on your phone or iPad to whip up a detailed quote on the spot and email it to the customer before you even leave their driveway – that’s impressive service. Similarly, quickly sending invoices and having easy online payment options can make a client’s experience smoother. While this doesn’t generate new leads by itself, it helps you close the leads you do get, faster.


    Automation in this sense speeds up your sales process – you close deals faster and can handle more jobs, which ultimately means more revenue.


The theme here is work smarter. By automating routine tasks and communications, you free yourself to focus on the skilled work (and to handle more clients). Plus, customers love a smooth experience – things like quick responses, easy online booking, and not having to chase you for paperwork all make you look super professional.


It’s like having a digital assistant that helps your small business operate with the efficiency of a larger company. And when customers feel taken care of from first contact to final invoice, they’re not only happy to hire you again – they’re more likely to recommend you to others, generating that sweet word-of-mouth leads machine.




Embrace Social Media to Engage Your Local Audience


ree

When we talk about social media, many plumbers roll their eyes – “Does anyone really choose a plumber because of Facebook or Instagram?” Surprisingly, in the trades, having an active social media presence can indeed bring you more leads and bolster your credibility with customers. It’s not about chasing likes for vanity; it’s about being visible and engaging in the communities you serve. In fact, social media is an effective way to win yourself more work. Here’s how you can make social media work for you as a plumber:


  • Showcase Your Work: Use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or even LinkedIn to post photos of your recent projects. Did you install a sleek new bathroom suite for a client? Fix a complex under-floor leak? Take a photo (with the customer’s permission) of the finished result – or the before-and-after if it was a dramatic improvement. Visuals catch people’s attention.


    When locals scroll through their feed and see a photo of a sparkling new bathroom or a short video of you unclogging a particularly gnarly drain (with a quick explanation of what you’re doing), it registers that you’re active and skilled.


    It builds familiarity – so when they do need a plumber, they remember seeing your posts. Social media is basically a free portfolio and billboard; by posting updates about projects you’ve completed and even some behind-the-scenes looks at your day, you stay top-of-mind for your followers.


  • Educational and Helpful Content: You don’t have to dance on TikTok or do anything silly, but sharing helpful tips goes a long way. For instance, create a quick post or short video: “3 Signs You Have a Hidden Water Leak in Your Home” or “How to Turn Off Your Water Main in an Emergency – a 1-Minute Guide.” Content like this positions you as a friendly expert. People love to share useful local content, which can increase your reach.


    It also encourages engagement – someone might comment, “Thanks, I needed this!” or even ask a question (which is an opportunity to interact publicly, where others see how helpful you are). All this engagement means the next time they have a plumbing problem beyond a DIY fix, you’re the one they trust to call.


  • Interact and Build Relationships: Social media is a two-way street. Don’t just post – engage. Join local Facebook community groups (many towns have a “TownNameTown NameTownName Community” or “TownNameTown NameTownName Recommendations” group). Often, people ask for recommendations there (“Can anyone suggest a good plumber in the area?”).


    Being part of those groups means you can be mentioned by past customers or even chime in if allowed (“Hi, I’m a local plumber, happy to help – I’ll send you a DM with my details”). Don’t spam these groups, but being present is key. Also, respond to comments or messages on your own business page promptly. It shows you’re attentive. A lot of small businesses land jobs simply because they actually replied to a Facebook inquiry while others ignored it.


  • Consistency Over Salesiness: Aim to post regularly – maybe a couple of times a week – but keep it genuine, not always a sales pitch. A good formula might be: one project showcase, one helpful tip, one testimonial or customer review highlight, then repeat. Sprinkle in a bit of personal or team content occasionally (“Meet our new apprentice!” or “Coffee break on a cold day – stay warm folks! ❄️☕”).


    This humanises your business. People are more likely to reach out to someone who feels like a person rather than a faceless company. And when you do post an outright offer or promotion (“£50 off any plumbing service this month for new customers – contact us!”), it will be seen in the context of all your helpful, friendly content – making it more compelling rather than off-putting.


  • Leverage Reviews and Check-ins: Encourage satisfied customers to leave a review on your Facebook page, or even post a photo and tag your business when you’ve done a great job for them. Social proof works on social media much like it does on Google.


    When someone sees their friend tagged your business saying, “Thanks for the great service [Your Company]!”, it’s like a referral broadcast to everyone who follows that person. You can even gently prompt this: after finishing a job, if the customer is thrilled, ask if they’d mind sharing a pic or a few words on Facebook and tagging you. One authentic post from a customer can reach hundreds of their local friends.


Remember, many homeowners – especially younger ones – will check your Facebook or Instagram to get a sense of your business even if they found you through other means. A well-maintained page with recent posts and positive interactions can tip an undecided customer in your favor. And it doesn’t cost anything but a bit of time.


If you truly don’t have time, there are social media management services that can help, but plenty of plumbers handle it themselves with just a smartphone and a few minutes here and there.


Over time, this builds a local following and a reputation that “you’re the go-to plumber who’s always giving out useful advice” – and that can directly translate into more leads and jobs.
