Why Advertising is Essential for Plumbing Businesses

In the plumbing world, standing out is everything. With so many options for customers, catching their attention takes clever plumbing marketing. You're likely asking yourself, "how do I do marketing for plumbing company?". Let Trades CXO help.

​

Being visible is key—showing up first in search results can mean the difference between a trickle of revenue and a steady stream.

​

Online marketing for plumbers isn’t just about being seen; it’s about connecting with the right people at the right time. As a plumbing marketing agency, Trades CXO uses targeted campaigns put your business front and center when locals search for plumbing help.

​

Effective plumbing advertising tells your story—why you’re the plumber to call—and helps you stand out from the competition.

​

Ready to turn searches into calls? Let’s build a pipeline (pun intended) to guide your next customer straight to you.

Step 1 | Target customer ads

Plumbing isn't one-size-fits-all. To do the best plumbing advertising, someone with a burst pipe at midnight needs a totally different message than someone planning a bathroom remodel in the next 3 months. We run targeted ads for different customer types and service needs. 

Step 2 | Make your ad budget work smarter
 

Ever feel like you're wasting money on ads? We fix that. We target your ads based on:

 

  1. Exactly where your service area is (no wasting money on clicks from people too far away)

  2. What time of day people are searching (showing emergency ads 24/7 but renovation ads during business hours)

  3. Which services make you the most money (pushing the jobs you really want)

Step 3 | Converting Interested Customers into Callers

Getting clicks is just the start. When someone lands on your website, we make it dead simple for them to contact you. No hunting around for phone numbers or filling out complicated forms. Just clear, obvious ways to get in touch:

 

  1. Big, bold phone numbers that jump out at you

  2. Click-to-call buttons for mobile users (most emergency searches happen on phones)

  3. Simple contact forms for estimate requests

  4. Online booking for maintenance work

Step 4 | Follow-up (a.k.a. remarketing efforts)

Not everyone needs a plumber right this second. For those planning ahead, we can keep your business in front of them through:

 

  1. Targeted ads that follow them around online (called remarketing)

  2. Helpful emails about home maintenance

  3. Social media posts with plumbing tips and advice

​​

This way, when they're ready to hire a plumber, you're the first one they think of.

Step 5 | Turn first-time customers into lifetime customers

Once someone uses your services, we help you keep them coming back with:

 

  1. Email reminders for seasonal maintenance

  2. Special offers for repeat customers

  3. Tips for preventing common plumbing problems

  4. Easy ways to schedule their next service

Bonus | Smart Analytics

Trades CXO uses data to ensure we're making the biggest impact possible with your advertising investment. We don't just set up ad campaigns and hope for the best. You'll see exactly:

 

  1. How many people clicked your ads

  2. Which ads got you the most calls

  3. What you're spending per new customer

  4. Which services are bringing in the most business

​

Then, we use this data to fine-tune your ads and strategy for marketing for plumbers.

By specializing in online marketing for plumbers, we meet you where you are and work with you to achieve your goals. Our process starts with building a custom strategy tailored to your business objectives—whether that's attracting specific customers or promoting your preferred services.

​

As we launch digital ads and gather insights (e.g., what your customers click on), we fine-tune your campaigns to make every dollar work harder for you.

​

Your marketing strategy evolves as your business does. Focused on attracting local customers today but eyeing regional expansion tomorrow? We've got you covered. Serving single-home clients now but want to reach apartment complexes next? We’re here to help.

Let’s grow your business together.

  • 1. Why do I need dedicated bookkeeping?
    Let's be honest, to a certain point, keeping bookkeeping in-house makes sense. When it starts to feel unmanageable (e.g., you're falling behind, you're losing track of expenses and payments, etc.), it is beneficial to consider hiring someone like Trades CXO. Small business bookkeeping for trades has unique elements that a general accountant might not be familiar with (e.g., WIP accounting for big jobs, payroll implications if you're moving between cities for jobs, etc.). When it starts to get hard, Trades CXO can help.
  • 2. Can a bookkeeper handle tax preparation?
    Trades CXO's bookkeepers will ensure you have everything you need to be prepared for tax season. However, when it comes time to file taxes, we recommend that you engage with a certified tax professional (e.g., CPA). We'll give you everything you need to ensure you and your CPA get the most out of your tax filing.
  • 3. What's the difference between an accountant and a bookkeeper?
    There are many differences, but the main one to focus on is that bookkeepers manage day-to-day books, which is important for a tradesperson. It ensures you're staying profitable with every job. Accountants are important for tax filings and audit preparation. Most folks do not leverage CPAs for day-to-day bookkeeping as it is cost prohibitive. The most common model we see with our clients is that Trades CXO provides them day-to-day support via bookkeepers. Then, customers engage with local CPAs during tax filing.
  • 4. How can good bookkeeping benefit my businesses?
    Good bookkeeping keeps you from making costly mistakes (e.g., overspending on a project, losing track of a payment) that puts your business at risk. The most common reasons small businesses fail are: 1) not having a growing, consistent customer base and 2) not achieving sustainable profits on their jobs. Trades CXO can help with both!
