Start with high-intent searches
Someone searching “emergency plumber near me” wants help now. Someone searching “how to fix a leaking tap” may never call. Focus first on service + location searches and urgent needs, then expand into informational content.
Service pages that convert
Each core service deserves a page with a clear headline, the areas you cover, what to expect, any pricing guidance, licences and insurance, recent work photos, reviews and a prominent call button and short quote form.
Speed to response wins jobs
Many customers contact several businesses and go with whoever responds first. Answer calls during working hours, reply to forms quickly, and call back missed callers quickly so nobody falls through.
- Click-to-call in the header on mobile
- Quote form with 3–5 fields
- Confirm receipt immediately
- Follow up within a working day
Follow up on quotes
A quote isn't a job. Send a short follow-up a few days after quoting, answer objections, and keep notes on why quotes are won or lost. Over time that tells you which jobs and areas to prioritise.
Measure cost per booked job
Track leads, quotes and booked jobs by source each month. Cost per lead can mislead; cost per booked job — and average job value — tells you where to spend.
