Real Time Marketing's Google LSA Package for Plumbers
From Drains to Gains: Power Up Your Plumbing Business with Google Local Services Ads
Stay competitive with digital marketing for your plumbing business! As a local plumbing company, you need to be able to reach potential customers in your area quickly and easily. With Google Local Services Ads (LSA), you can reach local customers who are looking for experts like you. Plus, your visibility will be elevated above the competition as Google LSA puts your business at the top of Google search results.
Real Time Marketing is a full-service digital marketing agency that offers Google LSA packages designed specifically to help plumbers increase their online visibility, generate more leads, and grow their customer base.
What Are Google Local Services Ads?
Google LSA is a powerful tool designed to connect plumbing businesses directly with potential customers in their area. When people search for the services they offer on Google, their ads will appear at the top of the search results, making it easy for customers to find and contact them.
With Google LSA, your plumbing company only pays when a customer books a service call through the ad, making it a cost-effective solution for your business to increase your reach and generate quality leads. In contrast, pay-per-click advertising charges for every click, regardless of whether the customer actually books a service or not.
This is a sample of the average costs and rates of Local Services Ads and pay-per-click advertising for plumbing services:
| PLUMBING SERVICES | Average Cost Per Lead | Average Click-Through Rate | Average Cost Per Click | Average Cost Per Call |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local Services Ads | $48.91 | 2.87% | $8.67 | $51.94 |
| Pay-Per-Click | $116.75 | 0.15% | $3.63 | $116.75 |
Based on this sample table, participating in Google LSA translates to lower costs per lead, higher click-through rates, booked jobs, and very good ROI. A typical plumbing job costs around $150 to $400, so the $51.94 investment on a booked call is worth every penny.
Google LSA allows you to choose the services you want to market. Meaning, you ONLY pay for calls for the service(s) you select! The dashboard enables you to customize which services you want to turn on or turn off under the plumbing category, based on what services you need to sell at a given time.
Securing Connections with Google LSA
The goal of Google LSA is to build trust with your potential customers. To sign up, your plumbing business must pass a screening process and be verified by Google before you’re allowed to advertise. Plus, each ad displays reviews from previous customers, giving searchers a sense of confidence in their choice.
Whether you’re just getting started with online advertising or looking to expand your local customer base, Google LSA provides a direct line between your plumbing business and the customers who need your services the most.
The Profitable Potential of Google LSA for Plumbers
Here are some of the benefits that plumbing businesses can expect to gain from Real Time Marketing's Google LSA package:
Increased visibility
in search results
With Google LSA, plumbers can appear at the top of search results when potential customers in their service area search for related keywords. This increased visibility can help businesses attract more clicks and leads.
Increased trust
and credibility
Google LSA features a “Google Guaranteed” badge, which indicates to potential customers that your business has been vetted by Google and meets specific quality standards. This badge can help increase trust and credibility, leading to more conversions.
Improvеd lеad
quality
Google LSA attracts customers who are more likely to take action, since they’ve already taken the time to search for local plumbers and click on a specific ad. This means businesses can expect higher quality leads that convert at a higher rate.
Cost-effective
advertising
Unlike other forms of online advertising, such as pay-per-click (PPC) ads, Google LSA operates on a pay-per-lead basis. This means that your plumbing business only pays for the leads you receive rather than for clicks or impressions.
Easy lead
management
Google LSA comes with a built-in lead management system, making it easy for plumbing businesses to keep track of their leads and respond to them in a timely manner. This can help improve customer satisfaction and increase the chances of converting leads into paying customers.
Access to
performance data
Real Time Marketing's Google LSA package includes access to performance data, which can help plumbing businesses track their results and make informed decisions about their marketing strategy. This data can also be used to optimize campaigns and improve ROI over time.
A Quick Guide on the Process of Google Guarantee Ads
-
A customer initiates a search on Google for a specific service that your plumbing business offers, such as “plumber near me” or “emergency plumbing services.”
-
Your Local Services Ad, prominently displaying the Google Guaranteed badge, appears at the very top of Google's Search Results page, ensuring high visibility and credibility to potential customers.
-
The interested customer, impressed by your Google Guaranteed status, proceeds to contact your plumbing business directly through the Local Services Ad.
-
Upon receiving the customer's call, you confirm whether the requested service falls within your designated service areas. If it does, you promptly schedule and confirm the booking, securing a potential job.
The Google Guarantee process streamlines the customer's journey, making it easier for them to find and choose your plumbing business. By displaying the Google Guaranteed badge on your Local Services Ad, you instill confidence in potential customers, leading to increased inquiries and bookings. This process serves as a powerful tool for your business, ensuring that customers feel protected and assured while you continue to provide top-notch services within your service areas.
