Google Ads for Plumbers and Plumbing Companies

Our Strategy

Common Challenges For Plumbers Using Google Ads

A common challenge for both domestic and commercial plumbers is actually your competitors.  Through first-hand experience we often find that a number of plumbers are victims of click fraud. This unscrupulous behaviour is when a competitor intentionally clicks on your Google Ads to inflate your costs. By inflating your costs, it is likely you may pause your ads or your daily budget may have run out. This means your competitors then take prime position on Google and get the leads that could have been yours.  If you’ve run Google Ads campaigns before for your plumbing business, it’s highly likely you’re familiar with the term click fraud and the devastating effects.

This is why we developed an anti-click fraud Solution called Click Guardian. Click Guardian allows you to prevent click fraud and most importantly, prevent budget wastage.  Click fraud can also cause a high cost per lead due to the inflated costs.

With the average plumbing job at around £150 exclusive of VAT (according to the Local Heroes), it is extremely important that plumbers get the lowest cost per lead to ensure the business is profitable.

Why work with Heavyweight Digital?

We’ve worked with plumbers for over 15 years and have an unparalleled understanding of how to build, manage and optimise plumber campaigns.  Working with both domestic and commercial plumbers, our campaigns are built specifically to attract enquiries from customers who genuinely need a plumber, whether that be a leaking tap, a complete bathroom fitout or commercial plumbing job.

One of the most important and often overlooked aspects of running a successful Google Ads campaign is having a quality website and/or landing page. We will ensure you have the optimal layout, information and elements such as phone numbers and quote forms in the correct place both on desktop and mobile.

It’s outrageous how often we see plumber campaigns previously managed by other ‘big’ agencies where conversion tracking has not been configured correctly, or sometimes not at all.  By having conversion tracking, we are able to track a number of conversion actions such as; when a user calls you, when a user submits your contact form, when a customer interacts with your live chat and so on. The more data points we can track, the better we can optimise your Google Ads campaigns!
