Working Stoke-on-Trent as a plumber
Pretty much every plumber call in Stoke-on-Trent starts the same way: someone in Trentham or Newcastle-under-Lyme needs help with blocked drains or burst pipes, opens Google on their phone, and calls one of the first three results. That is the entire game.
Across the ST postcode area in Stoke-on-Trent, plumbers mostly handle leaking taps and boiler breakdowns. The neighbourhoods we see most plumber calls from in Stoke-on-Trent are Tunstall, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Trentham.
What We Do
Across the plumbers we have spoken to in Stoke-on-Trent, the same pattern keeps coming up. The plumbers ranking in the top three of Google Maps for Stoke-on-Trent get most of the calls. We are your outsourced marketing department, except cheaper than one in-house hire and we actually deliver. Website, SEO, Google, reviews, missed-call recovery, content. One monthly fee, one report, one mobile number for everything.
For plumbers in Stoke-on-Trent, the search terms that matter are not "plumber" on its own. The buying-intent searches are urgent variations like "blocked drains" and "burst pipes". We target those exact phrases on your Google profile and on the plumber pages of your site.
If you cover blocked drains and leaking taps as a plumber, your customers are searching for those exact words on Google before they call anyone. Plumbers who match those phrases on their Google listing pick up the calls before the competitors do.
Why Plumbers Lose Calls Around Here
Plumbers in Stoke-on-Trent are competing with 50-120 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy plumbers from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Word of mouth still works, but it's slower than it used to be. The fastest-growing local businesses are the ones combining word of mouth with showing up on Google. Owners who rely on referrals alone are going backwards.
Real Clients We Already Run
For plumbers working Stoke-on-Trent, the picture looks like this. Most plumbers in Stoke-on-Trent are losing work to a handful of competitors with better-ranked Google listings. 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
The SEO bit covers: keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (site speed, schema, sitemaps), Google Business Profile management, citation building, and monthly ranking reports. All of it is included, no add-ons.
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
Reviews come in on autopilot. We set up a system that asks your customers right after the job, while they are still happy. About a third leave a review. Over a year that is the difference between 8 reviews and 60.
What It Costs
£199 setup. £199 a month. That covers the website, the Google profile, the reviews, the SEO, the missed-call texts, and a monthly report. Less than £6.70 a day.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Same price for every client. £199 setup, £199 a month. We do not haggle, we do not run promotions, and we do not have a 'special deal this week'. The price you see is what you pay.
What do you actually do every month?
Specifically: build and host your website, run your Google Business Profile weekly, set up review automation, set up missed-call text-back, write four blog posts a month, send a monthly report. That is the full list.
Do I need to do anything technical?
No. You do not need to do anything technical at any point. We handle the website, the Google profile, the SEO, the reviews, all of it. The only thing we ask for is information about your business and a few photos if you have them.
What if I already have a website?
Fine. We will migrate it over. The domain stays in your name. The content comes with it. The bits that work, we keep. The bits that do not, we replace.
How long until I see results?
Truthfully, we cannot put a number on it because every business is different. What we can tell you is what happened with our existing clients: most started seeing extra calls from Google within four to six weeks and meaningful ranking improvements by month three.
Can I cancel?
Three months is the minimum because that is how long it takes to do meaningful SEO work. After that you can leave whenever you want. Website yours, domain yours, no exit fees.
