The Challenge
Summit Plumbing had been in business for 12 years but couldn't be found on Google. They were stuck on page 3 for important searches like 'plumber near me' and 'emergency plumber Austin.' Most of their work came from word of mouth, and they were losing jobs to newer companies that ranked higher online.
Our Approach
We started with a full local SEO audit. Their Google Business Profile was incomplete — wrong category, no photos, and no posts. Their website had no local keywords and loaded slowly on phones. Their business name and phone number were different on 23 directories. We fixed everything step by step. First, we cleaned up their Google Business Profile — added the right categories, uploaded 40+ real job photos, and started posting weekly updates. Then we optimized their website with local keywords like 'Austin plumber,' 'emergency plumbing Austin TX,' and 'water heater repair near me.' We also fixed their citations across all 23 directories so everything matched. Finally, we built 48 local authority backlinks over 6 months from Austin news sites, home improvement blogs, and trusted plumbing directories.
The Results
By month 3, Summit Plumbing was in the Map Pack for 6 keywords. By month 6, they ranked for 14 keywords including 'plumber near me' and 'emergency plumber Austin.' Website traffic grew 312%. Most importantly, they went from about 40 booked jobs per month to over 220. Mike had to hire 3 new plumbers to keep up with demand.
