7 Tips on How Plumbers  Can Effectively Market On Facebook


Tip 1: Create a Facebook Page

The first step to marketing on Facebook is to set up a business page. While some plumbers may prefer to use their personal profile, it is highly advisable to create a business page. A Facebook business page makes you appear more professional and also allows you to market to your followers more effectively using features not available in your personal profile. While a Facebook profile has a limit of 5,000 friends, a business page allows you to have a following and also advertise to your local area. 

To create an effective Facebook Business Page, be sure to:


· Use a professional profile photo: Your logo is usually the first thing people see when they land on your business page. Thus, ensure it looks professional and vibrant. Strictly Plumbers can help you create a killer plumber logo. You will get a CUSTOM Logo Design. It only takes 1-2 weeks to build a Logo. Click Here to get started! 


· Update the cover image: Your cover is also vital for first impressions. This can either be a video or an image with graphics.


· Add Contact Information: Make sure you add your website url, address, phone number and email address. Don’t forget to include your business hours. Your NAP should be similar to what you have on GMB and other local directories.


Tip 2: Determine Your Target Locations


Once you have your business page, then the next step is to narrow down your target location. Use Facebook’s geo-targeting feature to target your audience by zip code. This is very helpful if you need to target location based on where you are selling property. Facebook also provides demographic targeting based on interest and online behaviors, age, gender and much more options. All these features make Facebook marketing for plumbers very effective for generating quality leads.


Tip 3: Invest in Facebook Ads


Now that you have figured out who your target audience is, the next step is to create appropriate ads for that audience.  Facebook allows you to use ads in various ways. You can go as simple as a typical image ad or you can make slideshows or videos. Contact us today to learn more about the best Facebook Ads for Your Plumbing Business.


Tip 4: Get More Eyes on Your Posts


Facebook provides numerous features for plumbers meant to either increase engagement for your ad or widen awareness of your brand, or even prompt users to take action. When posting on Facebook, utilize things like boosted posts or event posts. 

Boosted posts allow you to reach more people. They are not similar to Facebook Ads and are not created in Ads manager. However, they still allow you to reach a higher number of people than a regular post.


Tip 5: Remarketing


Just like Google Ads, Facebook Ads use cookies to track users that visit your website and remarket the service they have already shown interest in. There are a number of ways you can remarket your audience on Facebook. It’s not rocket science, Facebook will lead you through the steps necessary to create a remarketing campaign. You will also be asked to upload your contact list or choose the kind of engagement you want to prioritize. To lower cost and market to only relevant people, use Facebook's targeting system to remarket to a smaller contact list. You will not only save money, but you will more likely get more conversions.


Tip 6: Hire a Professional


If you are looking to make the most out of your Facebook Marketing, hiring a Facebook marketing expert is a must! A Facebook marketing expert is someone who has years of practical experience using Facebook as a marketing tool. Your Facebook marketing expert will help you write facebook copies, create graphics, generate leads and sales, collaborate with your marketing team to ensure consistency branding across all paid programs, create squeeze pages and lead generation forms and so much more.

Google PPC Google PPC (Pay-Per-Click) is a digital marketing strategy where advertisers pay a fee each time their advertisement is clicked by a user on Google's search engine. This marketing model essentially buys visits to your site, instead of attempting to earn them organically. Here's how it works: You create an ad and bid for it to be shown in Google's search results. When someone searches a keyword related to your business (e.g., "plumbing services near me"), your ad may appear on the top of the search results.

Google Business Profile Formerly known as "Google Maps," Google Business Profile is a free tool that allows you to manage your online presence across Google, including Search and Maps. This is how it works: You start by creating or claiming your Google Business Profile. Next, you can update your profile with compelling information such as your business address, hours of operation, contact information, and photos of your plumbing services. Once your profile is live, potential customers can easily locate your plumbing services on Google Search and Maps. There is also an option to respond to customer reviews, post updates, and even allow customers to book services directly from your profile. How Does Google Business Profile Help You Get More Plumbing Calls? Increased Visibility: Google Business Profile puts your plumbing business on the map, quite literally. Potential customers in your area can easily find your services when they search on Google. Established Trust: Customer reviews on your Google Business Profile foster trust and confidence in your services.

It not only enhances your visibility but also helps convert online searches into actual service calls. If you're looking to expand your reach and get more calls, optimizing your Google Business Profile should be your next step. 4. Organic SEO Organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your website and content to improve its visibility in search engines. Unlike paid advertising strategies, organic SEO focuses on achieving high search engine rankings through non-paid, or "organic," methods. This involves: Keyword Research: Identifying the keywords and phrases potential customers are using when looking for plumbing services. On-Page SEO: Optimizing your website's content, title tags, URLs, and image alt text to align with these keywords. Off-Page SEO: Building high-quality backlinks from other websites to increase your site's credibility and ranking. Why Is Organic SEO Vital For Plumbing Business Owners Seeking More Plumbing Calls? Sustained Online Presence: Organic SEO helps your website rank higher in search engine results over time, providing a sustainable online presence. Unlike paid ads, the effects of SEO are long-term and continue even after you stop optimizing. Cost-Effective Marketing: While initial SEO efforts may require an investment, its long-term nature makes it more cost-effective than continually paying for ads. High-Quality Traffic: Organic SEO targets users actively searching for plumbing services, resulting in high-quality traffic and a higher likelihood of converting visitors into calls. Trust and Credibility: Websites that rank high in organic search results are often perceived as reliable and credible, which can increase the likelihood of customers choosing your service over others. Organic SEO plays a significant role in increasing your plumbing calls by improving your website's position in search engine results. With strategic keyword use, high-quality content, and continuous optimization, you can enhance your online visibility, attract more potential customers, and ultimately, receive more service calls. Retargeting on the Google Network Retargeting, also known as remarketing, is a powerful online marketing tool that allows you to stay connected with your target audience, even after they leave your website . Retargeting is a technique used to display targeted ads to users who have previously visited your website or shown interest in your plumbing services. These ads appear when they browse other websites within the Google Display Network or use Google Search. How Does Retargeting Work? Cookie-Based Technology: When a user visits your plumbing website, a small piece of code (often referred to as a cookie) is placed on their browser. This cookie informs Google to show them your retargeting ads. Ad Placement: Your retargeted ads will appear to this user as they browse different websites within the Google Network, reminding them of your plumbing services and prompting them to revisit your site. Why is Retargeting Important for More Plumbing Calls? Increased Brand Exposure: The more your potential customers see your brand, the more familiar they become with your business. This familiarity can result in them choosing your service when they need a plumber. Highly Targeted Ads: Retargeting allows you to show specific ads based on the user's behavior on your site. For instance, if they viewed a particular service, you can retarget them with ads related to that service. Improved Conversion Rates: Not all users will convert on their first visit. Retargeting keeps your brand at the forefront, increasing the likelihood of them returning to your site and converting to a service call. Cost-Effective: With retargeting, you're specifically targeting users who have shown interest in your services, making your marketing efforts more efficient and cost-effective. Retargeting on the Google Network offers a better opportunity for your plumbing business to maintain visibility and stay top of mind. This strategy is a powerful way to transform your first-time website visitors into repeat visitors and eventually into customers, thereby increasing your plumbing calls.
