ANSWER YOUR PHONE!​  It does not matter if you are a one man plumber working out of your home, a larger plumbing company, or even a multi million dollar plumbing manufacturer, you must answer your phone when it rings. In this day and age where competition is fierce, answering every single call can make a huge difference in the success of your plumbing business. We understand that when you are on a plumbing job or plumbing project you may not want to interrupt it by taking a call but then you must have someone else take it. Most potential customers who need plumbing service will go to Google and call the first few companies they see. If these potential customers call you and nobody answers, they just call the next plumbing company on the list and you are out of a plumbing project that could have made your company thousands. That job went to another plumbing company who happened to answer their phone. If you simply do not want to answer the phone when you are working, we suggest hiring someone to do it for you. There are many answering services that are inexpensive and will do the trick. Nobody likes to leave a message on your voicemail!

DIGITAL MARKETING FOR PLUMBERS It does not matter if you are a one man plumber or have multiple locations with dozens of plumbers working for you, proper digital marketing is essential these days. Many years ago, it was the Yellow Pages that brought in most of the business for the local plumber. Now it is Google and other search engines that can keep a plumber busy with work. Getting your plumbing website at the top of the search engines is not always easy. Others recommend getting your business listed in plumbing directories. Studies show that it is better to spend your money to get your own website ranked higher in the search engines than to be listed in a plumbing directory. Getting good quality plumbing backlinks directed to your website is the key to higher rankings in the search engines. Stay tuned for more information. 
PRICING YOUR JOBS If someone is searching for a plumber and calls you for help, they will most likely ask you what it will cost and you need to be prepared. Most plumbers get calls about clogged drains, pipes leaking, garbage disposals, water heaters, plumbing installations, and other similar items. If you are an experienced plumber, you should have some ballpark pricing that you can give over the phone as to what the job may cost. Certainly you should put a disclaimer in that you will need to come out and inspect the project before giving an exact quote. If you are a professional plumber, you should always give a quote to your customer before starting any work. There are some websites and plumbing directories that allow customers to get approximate quotes before even talking with a plumber. Open communication between a plumber and the customer is the key to a professional run organization. 

Top Plumbing Technologies:

We are publishing a list of the top new plumbing technologies that people are searching for on Google. If you are a plumbing contractor, plumbing manufacturer, plumbing supplier, or even part of a plumbing directory in the plumbing industry, you should take note of where the industry is trending:
