/** Case study — website development, digital marketing, SEO, custom design & online ads for a plumbing contractor */

A burst pipe doesn't wait for business hours, and neither should the phone stop ringing.

Durfee Plumbing handles everything from routine drain clogs to full repipes and true middle-of-the-night emergencies. That split — planned maintenance work versus "water is coming through my ceiling" panic — meant the marketing had to serve two completely different mindsets on the same site without losing either one.

What we built

Scope of the work.

✓

Website development

A tap-to-call emergency banner above the fold on every page, plus dedicated service pages for water heaters, drain cleaning, repiping, and leak detection.

✓

Digital marketing

An active review-generation system after every job and a follow-up sequence for quote requests that don't close on the first call.

✓

Online ads & custom design

Local service and search ads built for "emergency plumber near me" moments, wrapped in a design that leads with licensing, insurance, and real technician photos instead of stock imagery.

✓

SEO

Local pack optimization for plumbing keywords across every service city, with service-plus-location landing pages built to rank where the jobs actually are.

Why this one's different

Plumbing gets won or lost in the first ten seconds of a search.

When someone is standing in an inch of water, they're not comparing five quotes — they're calling whoever looks fastest and most trustworthy on their phone screen. Every part of this build is optimized for that split-second decision, from page speed to a phone number that's never more than a thumb's reach away.

FAQ

How do you market a business people only call in an emergency?
You build trust before the emergency happens — reviews, licensing badges, and fast-loading pages — so when the moment hits, Durfee is already the name that shows up first and feels safest to call.
What's different about ads for a plumbing contractor versus other trades?
Intent is split between urgent and planned work, so campaigns and landing pages are separated: emergency-focused ads drive straight to a phone call, while planned-service ads (like water heater replacement) drive to a quote form.
How did SEO help Durfee show up for local plumbing searches?
City-and-service combination pages plus a fully built-out Google Business Profile pushed Durfee into the local map pack for the searches that actually convert — not just generic "plumber" terms.
