Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from plumbers in Torquay 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.
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.
Doing great work but nobody online knows it
You've been plumbing for years and your customers love you — but online, the plumber with 90 reviews looks more trustworthy than the one with 8. That's costing you jobs.
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.
What We Do for Plumbers
Four things that work together to bring you a steady stream of enquiries and calls — week after week.
Professional Website
A fast, mobile-friendly website with your phone number, enquiry form, and reviews front and centre. Built to turn visitors into calls.
Google Maps
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.
What Makes Torquay Unique for Plumbers
Torquay is known for its Georgian and Victorian terraces, inter-war bungalows, and modern estates. Georgian and Victorian housing stock, with inter-war and post-war growth as retirement destinations, creating steady demand for skilled plumbers across neighbourhoods like Babbacombe, St Marychurch, Chelston, Wellswood. The TQ postcode covers a wide area, and local customers expect to find reliable tradespeople online.
Torquay homeowners regularly need help with burst pipes, blocked drains, boiler breakdowns. Busiest October-March when cold weather causes pipe bursts and boiler breakdowns. With Gas Safe Register (for gas work), WaterSafe accreditation expected by many customers, standing out online is the difference between a full diary and a quiet phone.
There are around 15-40 plumbers in and around Torquay. The ones filling their diary are the ones customers find first online. A strong website, solid reviews, and a missed-call system mean you never lose a job to a competitor who simply picked up the phone faster.

Questions from Plumbers in Torquay
Straight answers — no jargon.
Do I need to run ads to get leads?
Not at all. Most plumbers start with just a website fix and Google Maps optimisation. Ads are optional — we only recommend them when the numbers make sense for your area.
How is this different from Checkatrade or Bark?
Checkatrade and Bark rent you leads — you pay per enquiry and compete with other plumbers for the same job. We build YOUR online presence so customers come directly to you. No middleman, no per-lead fees.
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.
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.
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.
