Google Ads for Plumbers

Emergency calls and scheduled work are two different businesses, so we run them as two different campaigns. Call-first bidding, tracked to the booked job, managed for a flat fee.

THE SPLIT

Emergency and scheduled are two different campaigns.

Different intent, different bids, different pages, different hours. Mixing them in one campaign is the most common mistake we find in plumbing accounts.

CALL-FIRST

If the phone does not ring, nothing else matters.

Plumbing leads are phone calls. We bid toward calls, track every one back to its keyword, and count a conversion only when a real conversation happens, not when someone hangs up at the greeting. After-hours matters just as much: if you run emergency ads at night, someone has to pick up. An answering service that can book a morning slot costs less than the clicks you burn ringing into voicemail. If nobody can answer after 9pm, we turn the ads off at 9pm, and your budget stops leaking while you sleep.

Demand also swings with the weather. A freeze warning or a drought that shifts slabs can double search volume for a week. We watch for those spikes and raise caps while your competitors’ daily budgets run out by noon.

What do unanswered calls cost you?

After-hours calls you already get, priced at your own job values.

Lost jobs / year131
Revenue lost / year$85,176

This is revenue you are losing before spending a dollar on ads. Fix the answering first and every ad dollar works harder.

PROOF

Lessons from the trades we already run.

Anonymized, because their competitors read too.

An adjacent trade at $30 a click

A leak detection company in Tampa Bay competes where clicks cost $30. That forces discipline plumbing markets only sometimes demand. One lesson that transfers: a cheap price hook like an $89 special fills the calendar with price shoppers and starves the high-value jobs. We also pair ads with city pages that rank on their own, then drop bids where the organic page already owns the result.

Call-only campaigns and a service area drawn around a lake, where a 20-mile radius is a 90-minute drive. Service-area businesses need drive-time thinking, not circles on a map. Same playbook plumbers need, different truck.

FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers before you book a call.
Clicks in most plumbing markets run $8 to $25 depending on the city and the term, with emergency terms at the top of the range. Management is a flat $700 to $1,300 a month. Whether that math works depends on your average job value, and we will run it with you on the call before you commit to anything.
If you have zero paid presence, take the LSA badge first, it is cheap trust. But LSA caps out fast and gives you no keyword control. Search ads are where growth comes from, and they are what we manage.
Yes, and for some shops that is the right start. But scheduled work like water heaters and repipes usually has better margins per marketing dollar, so we will usually propose the two-campaign split on day one.
Small budgets need manual bidding and ruthless negatives, not autopilot. We wrote the whole approach down on our PPC for small businesses page.
No. We run trades and local services broadly, including contractors and even dentists, all under the same flat-fee Google Ads management service. We are based in Greenville, SC, where we also run local campaigns.
