Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from plumbers in Derby every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Customers can't find you in local searches
When someone searches for a plumber in your area, Google shows three results on the map. If you're not one of them, those customers don't even know you exist.
Losing boiler breakdown jobs to whoever shows up first
A broken boiler is urgent. Homeowners grab their phone, search, and call the first plumber they find. If you're not showing up, that's a £300+ job gone.
Fewer reviews than the competition
Customers trust reviews more than anything. If the plumber down the road has 80 reviews and you have 12, they're getting the call — even if you do better work.
Your Google Maps listing barely shows up
There are three spots on the map and dozens of plumbers fighting for them. If your listing isn't optimised, you're invisible to the people searching right now.
What We Do for Plumbers

We optimise your Google Business Profile so you show up in the map pack when people search for your trade locally.
More Reviews
An automated system that asks your customers for a Google review after every job. More reviews means more trust and higher rankings.
Local Services Ads
Google puts your business at the top of search with your reviews and a Google Verified badge. You only pay when someone actually calls.
Plumber Services Across Derby
Derby is known for its Victorian terraces, inter-war semis, post-war estates, and modern developments near the city centre. Victorian railway workers' housing, inter-war suburbs, with modern regeneration around the river, creating steady demand for skilled plumbers across neighbourhoods like Allestree, Littleover, Mickleover, Spondon. The DE postcode covers a wide area, and local customers expect to find reliable tradespeople online.
Local demand for plumbers in Derby centres on burst pipes, blocked drains, boiler breakdowns. Enquiries tend to peak in Winter and Spring, though homeowners with properties 15+ years old needing repairs or upgrades need help throughout the year. Being registered with Gas Safe Register (for gas work), WaterSafe builds trust, but visibility is what fills the diary.
Derby has around 200-400 plumbers competing for the same pool of customers. Most have either no website or one that does not rank. That is the gap we fill: a site that gets found, a profile that builds trust, and a system that makes sure no call goes unanswered.

Questions from Plumbers in Derby
Straight answers — no jargon.
Is there a long contract?
No. After an initial 3-month period (so we can actually show results), it's rolling monthly. Cancel with 30 days' notice. No lock-ins. And you keep the website either way.
I get most of my work through word of mouth — do I need this?
Word of mouth is great, but it's unpredictable. One quiet month and you're scrambling. Having a strong online presence means you've always got leads coming in on top of your referrals.
What if I already have a website?
We'll audit it for free. If it's slow, not mobile-friendly, or missing key things like a phone number and enquiry form, we'll fix it. If it's already decent, we'll focus on Maps, reviews, and ads instead.
Can you target specific areas within Derby?
Yes. We set up your Google Maps listing and website to target the specific postcodes and areas you serve within Derby. That way, you show up when someone nearby searches for a plumber.
How long before I start getting calls in Derby?
Website and Google Maps fixes go live within 1-2 weeks. If you add Local Services Ads targeting Derby, most plumbers see new leads within 4-8 weeks. Reviews build over time but every new one helps.
