Working Edinburgh as a plumber
We see clear patterns in Edinburgh: most calls for plumbers come from people in Stockbridge, Portobello, and customers who searched for 'plumber near Dunfermline' or 'plumber in Stockbridge'. The trades that target those exact searches get most of the work.
Edinburgh's plumbers typically pick up calls from Cramond, Morningside, Portobello and the wider EH postcode area. The most common plumber jobs in Edinburgh are low water pressure and boiler breakdowns. The pattern of call volume in Edinburgh tends to follow the local property mix and seasonal demand.
What We Do
Across the plumbers we have spoken to in Edinburgh, the same pattern keeps coming up. The plumbers ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Edinburgh get most of the calls. Not a DIY platform. Not a course. Not a coaching call. We do all of it for you. Website, Google profile, reviews, SEO, missed-call recovery, monthly report. Done.
Plumbers working Edinburgh get a slightly different setup than other trades. We focus the keyword targeting on the urgent plumber searches (the ones with words like "burst pipes" and "blocked drains"). We structure the plumber website so the phone number is always visible.
Bread-and-butter jobs for plumbers: leaking taps, boiler breakdowns, blocked drains. The customers searching for a plumber are usually homeowners with properties 15+ years old needing repairs or upgrades, and they Google before they call.
Why Plumbers Lose Calls Around Here
When we look at plumbers in Edinburgh who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the plumber keywords Edinburgh customers actually use. Here's the unflattering truth: if your business name plus your town does not return your Google listing on the first page, the customers searching for you right now have never heard of you and never will. That is what we fix.
Real Clients We Already Run
When we look at plumbers in Edinburgh who have gone quiet, the cause is almost always the same one. Their Google Business Profile is half-empty and they are not ranking for the plumber keywords Edinburgh customers actually use. The honest version: we have seven paying clients. That is why we can give every one of them a phone number and answer it. When we have seventy, we will still give you a phone number, but a different one.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Our SEO work is opinionated. We do not chase every algorithm update. We focus on the things that have moved local rankings for the last decade: relevance to the search term, prominence (reviews and citations), and proximity to the searcher. Everything else is noise.
Missed-Call Text-Back
The maths on missed-call text-back is simple: most callers do not leave a voicemail, but most do read text messages. So the auto-text catches the calls voicemail loses. For an average UK trade that is 10-15 saved calls a week.
Review Automation
We integrate the reviews automation with whatever system you use to track jobs. Could be a job sheet, could be Google Calendar, could be a quick text from you. The trigger is flexible. The reply text is the same.
What It Costs
If you are budgeting, plan for £199 in month one and £199 in months two and three (the minimum term). After that it is rolling at £199/month. Cancel by text whenever you like.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
What do you actually do every month?
We replace four jobs you would normally pay separately for: web designer (£2k-5k one-off), SEO agency (£500-1,500/month), review automation app (£40-100/month), and missed-call answering service (£50-150/month). All bundled into one price.
Do I need to do anything technical?
No tech skills needed. We built this for trades and small business owners who do not want to mess with WordPress or Wix or Google Search Console. We do all of that. You run your business.
What if I already have a website?
No problem. We can keep your existing site and improve it, or rebuild it from scratch, your call. Your domain stays the same. Your old URLs keep working. Nothing breaks for your existing customers.
How long until I see results?
We cannot promise specific numbers because nobody honest can. What we can promise is that the work gets done every week, you get a real monthly report, and most clients see their first new enquiry from Google within four to six weeks.
Can I cancel?
Three months in, then cancel any time. The website is yours forever. We hand over the domain and the codebase if you want them, or we leave the site running and just stop the management work.
