A one-van plumbing business in Leeds was relying entirely on referrals and a creaking Yell.com listing. We launched search ads on local intent keywords within 48 hours, restructured their Google Business Profile, and built a simple landing page that converts. The result: 34 qualified leads in the first 30 days.
The owner — a sole trader running one van and an apprentice — was getting all his work from word-of-mouth and a 12-year-old Yell.com listing. Work would come in waves, then dry up for two weeks at a time. He had a basic website built by his nephew that didn't rank for anything.
Local competition was active on Google Ads, with three large multi-van firms bidding aggressively on "Leeds emergency plumber" keywords. He'd tried Google Ads himself for a fortnight and burned through £400 with two leads to show for it.
A focused, paid-search-first approach designed to bring leads in fast while we built the longer-term assets in parallel.
I've had agencies before that promised the world and gave me a monthly report I couldn't read. These guys had my phone ringing within two days. Three weeks in I had to take on another apprentice.
