When Your Website Is Not On The First Page Of Google – It’s Hard To Get New Customer Leads
Did you know? There are 3 ways your website can appear on the first page.
Paid Listings
Appearance in the paid listings of the search results is based on a bidding system called Google Ads (formerly Google Adwords). The order in which ads appear is determined by how much other plumbers are willing to spend per click when the keyword for which they are bidding on is searched. So, other than our monthly campaign management fees, there is no monthly fee for appearing on Google Ads. You only pay a fee when someone makes a telephone call from one of your Google Ads or someone clicks on one of your ads and visits your website.
Map Listings
The map listings are critical for your plumbing business and other local businesses because they display whenever Google considers local results to be the most relevant. When someone searches for ‘plumber+ your city,’ or ’emergency plumber + your city,’ Google recognises that they are looking for local plumbing businesses in the area and displays the plumbing related google map listings appropriately.
For your plumbing business to appear in the maps listings. You must first create a free Google Business Profile (GBP) ( formerly Google My Business). Unlike paid ads, placement in the map listings is ‘organic’ meaning plumbing businesses are ranked according to Google’s search algorithm. There are many ways to optimise your GBP to improve your position in the map Listings.
Organic Listings
The plumbing websites you see in the organic listings are there because Google believes they are the best quality and most relevant to the search intent of the searcher. The process of earning your place in Google’s organic listings is called Search Engine Optimisation (or SEO).
Performing the necessary SEO on your website to move up the rankings to the first page is a medium to long-term investment and can cost you many thousands of dollars and can take many months to get there.
Complimenting your plumber SEO strategy with a Google Ads Campaign for Plumbers allows you to get website leads in the short term until you have those coveted first-page organic rankings.
Does Google Ads Work For Plumbers?
Yes, Google Ads is effective for Plumbers. Google Ads is a cost-effective form of advertising that allows you to target qualified, in-market prospects. When used effectively, it may give a high return on investment, allowing you to increase your plumbing business’s clients and leads. Even if your SEO ranking is high, data suggests that including Google Ads advertising in your marketing mix increases your website visits dramatically.
Will Google Ads Work For Your Business?
Google Ads will work for you as long as you put in the effort to do it well.
If you haven’t the knowledge, I won’t lie. It’s a steep learning curve. Take it from me. I know. In 2007 I was asking myself the same questions. I was where you are now. I was a small business owner & my website had only just gone live. I needed leads, customers, and sales fast.
My competitors were running Google Ads and I was losing business to them. So I jumped in at the deep end. I taught myself Google Ads. I created, ran, and managed my own Google Ads campaigns. Sure I made mistakes, everyone does. As I said, it’s a steep learning curve.
So which way will you go?
