That brings you the lion’s share of ready-to-by customers. It’s an example of the best plumber SEO for ROI.
Plumber SEO vs. PPC
Most plumbers choose pay per click (PPC) ads on Google over SEO. PPC can return a good ROI, but most likely on a smaller scale. One reason for that is most plumbers don’t invest very much in PPC ads. SEO is a whole other ballgame. Plumber SEO is a long term investment with a much larger scale of success. Some plumbers use PPC and SEO to gain customers. One downfall of PPC is that plumbers rarely set it up properly for success. Most plumber PPC have a mediocre headline and a simple link to their website. So, this cuts down their conversion rate. Having a good offer and a landing page designed for customer conversion greatly improves ROI.

Plumber SEO is much more complicated and may require hiring a professional SEO company to manage it. The learning curve for SEO is steep. But, that’s part of the reason that SEO has the highest ROI among the available marketing channels. SEO is ongoing and can can build into a local domination of Google for you. Aside from ranking highest for “plumber” and “plumber near me” their are other great keywords to rank for. Ranking highest on Google for “water heaters” and “backflow” service are two examples. So, keyword phrases like “water heater repair” can bring huge rewards for that profit center. Mostly for water heater sales and installation. Optimizing a water heater page on your website is where you start. Optimizing all your profit centers brings additional ROI aside from your main “plumber” keywords.
