Where Plumber Budgets Die vs How We Run It
The Usual Account
- Broad match bidding on DIY searches and "plumbing courses"
- Paying for clicks two suburbs past your service area
- Ads running 24/7 while your phone's off
- Some emergency clicks cost more than your callout fee — and get wasted
- PMax black box "doing its thing"
The Go Polar Build
- Intent terms only — "emergency plumber [suburb]", "hot water repair"
- Geo fences tight to where you'll actually drive
- Call-only ads scheduled to hours you answer
- Negative keyword list that grows every single week
- Every dollar traceable to calls
Built for How Plumbing Gets Bought
Calls First, Clicks Second
Clicks are nice. Calls are jobs. Call-only campaigns, call tracking, and reporting that counts conversations — not sessions.
Suburb-Level Structure
Your best suburbs get their own budgets and ads. "Blocked drain Carlton" and "blocked drain Frankston" are different auctions — we treat them that way.
The After-Hours Play
Emergency demand doesn't clock off at 5. If you take after-hours work, we surge when competitors switch off — premium jobs, less competition.
Google Guaranteed Too
We set up and manage Local Services Ads alongside Search — the green tick that makes nannas trust you at 3am.
Straight up — this isn't for you if:
- You can't answer the phone — fix capacity first, ads just make missed calls more expensive
- You've got zero reviews anywhere online — get 10 first, they carry the click
- You want the cheapest possible clicks — emergency intent costs money because it pays money
This is for plumbers ready to turn search demand into booked jobs, this month.
Common Questions
What budget do I need?
Enough to compete in your metro — it varies wildly by city and service. We'll tell you the real number for your suburbs on the call, and we'll tell you straight if it's not worth it yet.
How fast do calls start?
Search captures existing demand, so movement is fast — days, not months. No guarantees on volume (anyone promising exact call numbers is guessing), but you'll see every dollar tracked.
What does it cost?
Management from $1,000/mo plus your ad spend (paid direct to Google). Quoted properly on a 20-minute call.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Monthly retainer, month-to-month after the first 90 days. Stay because the phone rings.
Someone's Hot Water Died Tonight. Whose Number Do They Find?
20-minute call. We'll look at your area, your competition, and quote it straight.
