Google Ads for plumbers

A same-day leak needs a clear area and a phone that is answered. Give planned fittings a quote page, and compare the work you actually complete.

Separate urgent leaks from planned work

Plumbing jobs by urgency

Separate leaks and burst pipes from planned installations and bathroom plumbing. Schedule urgent ads around phone and crew availability.

Qualify and measure enquiries

Ask for postcode and a description before dispatch. Compare attended jobs and quote acceptance across services.

Match call-out ads to who can answer

If the phone is not covered, urgent ads create missed calls. Planned bathroom plumbing and outside taps can wait for a quote.

Jobs with different urgency

A leak or a burst

Ask for the postcode and a short description. Dispatch only inside the area you can reach while someone is answering the phone.

A planned fitting

Taps, toilets and pipework that can be quoted. Ask for photos and the town. This is not an emergency.

A boiler repair

If heating engineers handle boilers, send that traffic to the boiler page or exclude it here so the plumbing budget is not spent on boilers.

What to ask before anyone is sent

Postcode and what is happening. Compare attended jobs and accepted quotes across urgent and planned work. There is a separate guide for firms that do both plumbing and heating.

What this looks like in practice

A same-day leak call needs a clear service area and a phone that will be answered. Give planned fittings a quote page and compare actual work completed across both routes.

Questions before you spend on ads

Can I advertise leaks and bathroom plumbing in the same area?

Set separate schedules and enquiry routes. A leak needs a staffed line, while a planned job can use a quote form that asks about scope.

How do I work out what I paid for the work?

Add Google ad spend and management fees, then divide that by the number of completed plumbing jobs linked to those ads. Include any setup fee in a separate first-month calculation. Use the same period for spend and results, and keep repeat calls, cancellations and unfinished enquiries out of the final count.

Run the numbers for your budget

Questions from local owners

Should a plumber advertise boilers as well?

Only in their own campaign, with the hours and the skills to attend. Otherwise exclude boiler searches from the plumbing account.

What should the urgent page show?

The area and the hours a person answers. A form is a poor tool for a leak that is happening now.

What is a result?

Jobs attended and quotes accepted, split by urgent and planned work.
