Client
Northside Plumbing
Manchester · 12 employees · Local service
Starting point
Invisible in local search
Unoptimized GBP · inconsistent citations · no service pages
The challenge
Northside had been in business for 20 years and relied almost entirely on referrals. Their Google Business Profile listed the wrong primary category, had no photos, and hadn't been updated in years. Their website had a single page with no location or service content. Competitors with newer businesses were outranking them for "plumber near me."
The 90 days plan
Fix foundations
Rebuilt GBP (category, services, photos, Q&A), fixed 34 citations, added LocalBusiness schema.
Build service pages
Published 6 high-intent pages (emergency plumbing, boiler repair, bathroom install, etc.) with location relevance.
Measure
Established baseline for calls, direction requests, and booked jobs. Set up monthly reporting.
The results
| Metric | Before | After 90 days | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calls from Google | — | — | +41% |
| Direction requests | — | — | +58% |
| Booked jobs (attributed) | — | — | +38% |
| Local rankings (top 3) | 2 keywords | 14 keywords | +12 |
"We finally understand where the calls come from. That's worth more than rankings."
