The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Wellington?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Plumbers in Wellington need people close by searching "emergency plumber", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Emergency searches go to whoever is in the top three, and lead sites resell the same job to several plumbers.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, Builderscrack and old directories confuse Google and push your plumbing business down the map in Newtown.
Rising cost per lead
Customers check registration and reviews before letting a plumber into their home. Paying per click for every Wellington lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for plumbers.
Google Business Profile optimisation
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your plumbing business's profile so it is eligible to rank across Wellington.
- Primary category set to “Plumber”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
- Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at Thorndon and Kelburn
- LocalBusiness schema with exact coordinates on your site
If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
