What growth really looks like in plumbing
Plumbing splits into two very different jobs: emergencies (a burst pipe at 2am, where the fastest, most visible plumber wins) and planned projects (repipes, water heaters, bathroom renos, where trust and reviews decide). Emergencies are phone-driven and time-critical; most are won or lost on whether the call gets answered. The biggest leaks are untracked calls and missed calls. The plumbers who win run call-only emergency ads during opening hours, capture project work with Search and SEO, and text back every missed call automatically.
Expected benchmarks
Representative industry ranges — actual results vary by market, offer and tracking.
A generic agency runs the same playbook for a plumber and a law firm. Plumbing customers search, compare and book differently — and that difference is exactly where the budget is won or lost.

Plumbing — questions
For plumbing, Google leads. Call-only and Local Services Ads capture emergency intent the moment someone searches "plumber near me," while Search and local SEO win planned projects like repipes and water heaters. Meta retargeting nurtures bigger renos. Most GTA plumbers do best with Google as the engine and a strong Google Business Profile feeding reviews and "near me" demand.
Most plumbers in Canada start in the $1,500–$4,000/month range in ad spend, kept separate from our management fee. Plumbing CPCs typically run $8–$18, so that budget buys meaningful emergency and project calls in a GTA market. We size your starting budget to your service area and capacity, then scale only the campaigns producing booked jobs.
Every call and form is tracked to the exact campaign and keyword, with call recording so we hear which leads are real jobs versus tyre-kickers. We tag emergencies versus project work, watch speed-to-lead (target under 5 minutes), and report on booked jobs and revenue — not just clicks. Missed-call text-back recovers leads you'd otherwise lose to a competitor.
Emergency call-only campaigns can produce qualified calls within the first week, because the intent is immediate. The first 30 days are about capturing calls and wiring tracking; days 31–90 build local SEO, project campaigns and reviews, which compound over time. You'll see early call volume fast, with cost-per-job improving as we cut waste and tune toward your best services.
Plumbing splits into two jobs that need different playbooks: time-critical emergencies won on the phone, and planned projects won on trust and reviews. It's heavily call-driven, so untracked and missed calls are the biggest leaks. We run call-only emergency ads during opening hours, separate emergency from project intent, and automate missed-call text-back so no 2am burst-pipe lead slips away.
We're a Google Partner and Meta Business Partner based in the GTA, serving plumbers across Canada and the USA, with vertical-specific playbooks built for trades. You own your accounts and data, contracts are month-to-month, and ad spend stays separate from our fee. AI does the heavy lifting on optimization and follow-up; experienced humans direct and review. Our blended track record: 500+ businesses, $100M+ spend managed, 6.3x average ROAS.
