The truth, which many owners of plumbing and HVAC businesses don’t realize until it’s too late, is that their average day will and must be dedicated to multitasking, “administratrivia,” and operations management. Meanwhile, they also have to oversee the technicians installing hydronic systems for residential plumbing clients, drain cleaning for commercial plumbing customers, dealing with cantankerous hot-water heating systems, and so on in the field. Many a frustrated business owner has been heard to lament, “I’m always running–but I’m always running behind!” This creates a potentially dangerous blind spot for many small plumbing and HVAC business owners because as their business grows, it becomes easier for things to slip through the cracks–like lost business due to dealing with everything else on your daily list!
But what if you could free up time and energy for other tasks while avoiding lost business for your plumbing company and consistently ensuring higher client satisfaction, a larger sales funnel, and more robust communication at every step in the sales and service funnel?

Question: How does hiring digital marketing consultants help a plumbing business prevent lost business? –Stan, Chicago Area, IL
Answer: Across the country, one of the biggest reasons plumbing companies lose customers isn’t missed appointments but missing or overlooking initial customer contacts in the first place. Emergency calls for repairs, by their very nature, are time-sensitive, and if your staff doesn’t get in touch quickly, your potential customers will grit their teeth at the delay and move on to the next until they find a plumber who can get there and get the situation dealt with in a timely manner. Even worse is if your plumbing business’s contact information in search engines and on social media is outdated, inaccurate, or has been incorrectly reported and recorded. Customers can’t use your company’s plumbing services if they can’t find you when they need you or if they find you’re not responsive when communicating with you!
Digital Marketing for Plumbers by Online AdVantages offers a fully integrated CRM (customer relationship management) platform that makes effective online presence and instant communication with your customers as easy and intuitive as responding to alerts on your phone or laptop. But that’s just the beginning. In addition to real-time communications, we also offer a fully custom suite of SEO (search engine optimization) services with customizable reports so you can assess channel and marketing ROI, keep tabs on how quickly your staff responds to customers, and who’s buying your services and where they’re coming from. This lets you set goals that really work to increase productivity and end up with sustainable growth, more high-value, high-profit leads, a wider sales funnel, and more work for you and your company. Whether you’re new to the plumbing industry or you’ve been in the game for decades but are looking for new ways to build your clientele, Digital Marketing for Plumbers by Online AdVantages can help!
Question: My plumbing contractor company works mostly on industrial construction sites and not in the private sector, and we don’t really have to worry about preventing lost business, so why do we need Digital Marketing for Plumbers? –Jake, Austin, TX
Answer: If you’re happy with the number of projects you have and the profits you’re making, then you probably don’t. We’re geared more toward small and medium plumbing businesses and HVAC companies whose end goal is to reach and attract more customers in the residential and commercial sectors. However, we’ve never heard of any business saying, “Yeah…we make enough money so we can shut down our marketing!” So, with that in mind, let’s look at why Digital Marketing for Plumbers by Online AdVantages makes sense for a company of any size!
First, no matter how large or small a plumbing company is, the competition is always fierce. We take plumbing so for granted in this country that when it doesn’t work, it paralyzes our working and personal lives. This means there’s never a shortage of potential customers, but in the end, that doesn’t mean much if you can’t reach them, or vice versa, where they’re looking. Digital marketing services like the ones we provide help bridge that gap.
Second, it’s never a bad idea to diversify. While residential and small commercial plumbing jobs may not pay as much as multimillion-dollar industrial and government complex projects, they are just as critical, if not arguably more so. Having a wider reach and greater access to a broader spectrum of potential customers means more business at the end of the day, which means greater profits for your company and more job security for the people who keep it going. Branching out into online spaces gives you more avenues to grow your sales funnel and helps bolster repeat business through word of mouth, which gives you more options for the types of jobs for which your company is most suited.
Third and finally, no matter what size job you take on, your online reputation management matters. If you don’t know what people are saying about your company in the comments sections of sites like Angi.com, you can’t effectively address their concerns or set the record straight. Digital Marketing for Plumbers by Online AdVantages gives you more ways to secure and safeguard your reputation with less time and effort spent while you get more jobs and thus make more revenue. While it may be tempting to dismiss the online space as pointless and frivolous for a plumbing company, digital marketing is only getting more important each year, and it’s not going to end any time soon.
So why not hire the best in the business to help you navigate the online world and help you make sure you’re not leaving money on the table for your competition to pick up?
