Selling search engine optimisation and local search services to plumbers

Most plumbing firms are owner-run with a few engineers and a van each, so the person you want is often the one under a sink when you call. The owner decides on almost everything, from software to suppliers, and tends to buy when something saves time on quoting, invoicing or finding the next job.

SEO agencies often find clients by spotting businesses with weak search visibility and reaching out with a specific observation. Keeping those prospects in your own lead database lets you record what you noticed about each site and follow up at the right moment.

The plumbers that need search engine optimisation and local search services are listed publicly. What most SEO agencies lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What SEO agencies run into with plumbers

Your audit notes per prospect are scattered over documents and spreadsheets.

Add custom fields and notes to every record, so the finding you want to mention sits next to the contact.

Many small business websites list no email address.

Email from domain turns the website into role addresses such as info@ and hello@ without credits.

Plumber listings are spread over directories, maps and review sites, and each one exports in a different shape.

Import every CSV or Excel file into one lead file, map the columns once and let Riftjaw flag duplicates before anything is added.

Many small plumbing firms only list a phone number and a website, with no email address.

Email from domain builds likely addresses such as info@ and office@ from the website, marked as guesses so you know what is unverified.

What to say to plumbers

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets plumbers to click.

  • Lead with fewer missed calls and more booked jobs, because every unanswered call is a job going to the next plumber on the list.
  • Show how your offer cuts evening admin like quotes and invoices, which most owners still do after a full day on site.
  • Mention seasonal pressure such as frozen pipes and boiler breakdowns in winter, when being easy to find online matters most.

Fields worth recording for plumbers

Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
Service areaWhere they work, so you can split the list by town or region.
Emergency calloutsFirms that offer out of hours work often care about call handling and dispatch tools.
Gas workWhether they also do boilers and heating changes what they buy and who they buy it from.
Team sizeA sole trader and a firm with ten engineers need a different pitch.
Website qualityA weak or missing site is a clear opening for web and search agencies.

Questions people ask

Collect listings from public directories or a scraper export, then import the file into Riftjaw and map the columns. Add a Service area field so you can save a filter for each town and send to it separately.

Yes. Add a field or a tag such as gas work and fill it during import or by hand. A saved filter on that field gives you a separate list for heating related offers.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, office@, enquiries@ and hello@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
