Why This Playbook Matters?
You fix leaks, replace water heaters, and handle emergencies—but what are you doing to keep your pipeline of customers flowing?
Most plumbers rely on word-of-mouth or one-time calls, but in today’s digital world…
Industry Metrics:
✅ 76% of customers research plumbing services on social media before calling.
✅ 47% of homeowners book the first plumber they find online with recent content or reviews.
✅ Businesses that post 3+ times per week generate 2.5X more leads.
Yet most plumbing businesses:
Don’t post consistently.
Don’t respond fast enough.
Don’t know what content actually drives bookings.
Social media = trust, visibility, and more jobs—when done right.
