How to Get More Leads for My Plumbing Business

Hey there, plumbing pros! 🛠️

Ever thought about why one plumbing business flourishes while another, possibly better one, languishes in the shadows? It's all about the growth recipe. At Fencepost, we’ve boiled it down to four main ingredients: Visibility, Competency, Social Proof, and Referral. Let's unravel this formula, tailored for the plumbing masters.

1. Be the Visible Plumber in Town (Not the Invisible Phantom)

Visibility isn't about a high street spot anymore - it's about lighting up those search results. Did you know that 89% of consumers use search engines like Google when looking for a service, including plumbers? Or that Google Ads can skyrocket your visibility, potentially bringing a whopping 150% increase in lead volume within weeks of starting? It’s not about being 'online'; it's about being noticeable online. By leveraging Google Ads, you're not just visible; you're shining bright, ready to be picked.

2. Competence is More than Just Fixing Leaks

Here's the thing: Competency isn't just about unclogging that drain efficiently (though, kudos if you do). It's about being consistently excellent, making sure every interaction leaves your customer nodding in satisfaction. That means timely responses, showing up when you say you will, and leaving that bathroom spotless post-fix. Excellence in the mundane? That’s where the magic happens.

3. Let the World Be Your Spokesperson

With Social Proof, your customers become your best advertisers. But what if we said you could supercharge this process? Enter tools like NiceJob, which can ramp up your review rate by a mind-blowing 50% practically overnight. Imagine doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling your reviews effortlessly. We've seen businesses jump from zero to a staggering 102 reviews in just 48 hours, all thanks to automated review generation. The digital world's word-of-mouth just got a turbo boost.

4. Because Old-School Referrals Still Rock

Lastly, the art of Referral. This isn't just old wine in a new bottle; it's about optimizing the age-old practice of word-of-mouth. Remember Aunt Jane who wouldn’t stop talking about her amazing hairdresser? Be the plumber Aunt Jane can't stop raving about. Offer incentives, discounts, or loyalty programs to encourage those golden referrals.
