How to Choose a Web Designer for Your Plumbing Business

A good website is more than just an online brochure; it's your best marketing tool. For a plumber, it’s what brings in new business when a homeowner has a busted pipe at 2 AM. But how do you pick the right person to build it?

Stuff to Ask a Web Designer:

• Do you know local service businesses? A designer who gets what a local contractor needs will know how to set up your site to attract local customers. Ask to see their past work.
• How do you handle local SEO? Your website needs to pop up when folks in your area search on Google. The designer should have a clear plan for getting your site found locally, including setting up a Google Business Profile.
• Is the website easy to update? You should be able to update your services, add new reviews, or post photos of recent jobs without calling your developer every time. Ask what system they use.
• Is the pricing clear? Get a straight quote upfront that spells out all costs. Stay away from designers who are fuzzy about prices or have lots of hidden fees.

Picking the right partner is the first step to getting a website that works as hard as you do. A smart choice today will bring in new customers for years.
