The challenge
Burkell Plumbing had a strong team and quality work but lacked a systematic way to build their online reputation and visibility in the Sausalito market.
Our approach
- 01 Built a system that made it easy for customers to leave reviews and share their experience.
- 02 Optimized their online presence to showcase a growing library of customer reviews and local authority.
The outcome
The focus on customer engagement and reputation delivered a 20% revenue increase and 75 new Google reviews.
How plumbing customers decide
Plumbing demand is largely non-discretionary. Burst pipes, water heaters, and clogged drains don't wait, so the decision is often made within minutes of the search.
- Because plumbing problems are urgent, prospects rarely compare more than one or two providers before calling.
- Emergency searches spike outside normal business hours, so after-hours visibility and fast response capture jobs competitors miss.
- Higher-value work like re-pipes and water-heater installs comes from different searches than low-margin drain calls.
