How Plumbers Can Use Google Reviews to Dominate Their Local Area

How Plumbers Can Use Google Reviews to Dominate Their Local Area

Reviews aren’t optional anymore — they’re the new competition between plumbers.
Here’s how to turn Google Reviews into a growth engine:

1. Ask Every Customer (Most Will Say Yes)

Most plumbers never ask.
But customers are often very happy to leave a review if you simply request it right after the job.

2. Use an Automated Review Request System

Set it and forget it.
When a job is marked complete → your customer receives an SMS + email with your Google review link.
This simplifies the system and makes reviews flow in on autopilot.

3. Show Reviews on Your Website & Booking Forms

People trust social proof.
A site with your visible reviews converts way better than one without.

4. More Reviews = Higher Google Maps Ranking

Google favours businesses with consistent, recent 5-star reviews.
This means:

• More calls

• More visibility

• More high-intent customers

All without paying more for ads.

5. Reply to Every Review (Google Loves It)

Responding shows customers you actually care. And it shows Google you’re active and improves your local ranking.

If you want reviews coming in automatically every week, we install an end-to-end review system for plumbers that boosts ranking and drives more calls.
