How to create a website for a plumber

What someone with a plumbing problem checks first

• Areas you cover — suburbs or towns, since plumbers travel to the job
• Whether you handle emergencies and outside normal hours
• Types of work — burst pipes, geysers, blocked drains, new installations
• Roughly how callout charges and quotes work
• How fast you can usually get there

Photos worth including

Plumbing work is mostly hidden once finished, so before-and-after pairs matter more than they do in most trades — a burst pipe or old geyser next to the completed repair says more than any description.

A photo of your van or branded workwear also helps, since it shows the person who arrives at the door matches who a customer was expecting.

Proof that builds confidence

• Years doing plumbing work and rough number of jobs completed
• Any trade certification or apprenticeship background
• Whether you supply parts or the customer sources them
• A few short reviews, especially ones mentioning speed of response

Make contact instant

This is one trade where a phone call still matters, but a WhatsApp button lets someone send a photo of the leak or blockage straight away, which helps you judge the job and give a rough price before you even leave for the site.

Objections to answer on the page

• 'Do they cover my area?' — list suburbs plainly rather than a vague 'and surrounds'
• 'How much will this cost me?' — give a callout fee or a typical range for common jobs
• 'Can they come now?' — state your response time and whether you do emergency callouts
• 'Are they reliable?' — reviews and years in business answer this better than any promise

Pitfalls specific to plumbing sites

• No mention of areas covered, leading to wasted enquiries from too far away
• No price guidance at all, which pushes cost-conscious customers to call a competitor first
• Hiding whether you do emergency work, when that is often the whole reason someone is searching
• A contact form instead of a number or WhatsApp link for urgent jobs

Before you start building, prepare

• A list of suburbs or towns you cover
• Before-and-after photos from recent jobs, even taken on a phone
• Your callout fee or typical price range for common repairs
• The number you want emergency messages sent to
