The Popularity and Strategy Behind the Keyword - "Plumbers Near Me"

Plumbers near me is one of the most popular common keywords typed into Search engines when someone is looking for a local plumber.  The major Search engines are able to provide you with a plumber near you by using either your mobile phone's GPS coordinates or through cellular tower tracking or the ip address on your desktop to provide you with a list of local plumbers in your area.



Many plumbing companies would love to show up on top of the SERPs when someone types in the word "plumbers near me” because it is so specific, and if your in Los Angeles, Van Nuys, Woodland Hills, CA or any other city, the major search engines will know which plumbing companies services your area and provide you with the best possible search results.  But if your local plumbing company that doesn’t promote itself online than your unlikely to show up on the top of Google, Bing, Yahoo or any other search engine very often, so you'll miss out on a lot of potential new business.

It’s not hard to show up on the top of the SERPs but you need hire a professional who has experience working with PPC (also called pay per click), and SEO (also called search engine optimization).  These online marketing individuals geeky out on everything related to online marketing.  Just make sure who ever you hire cares about your plumbing business because it’s vital to the success of your business.

I can tell you from experience that I have seen many plumbing companies across the US grow exponentially by just promoting themselves on Google, Yahoo and Bing’s PPC programs.  I have also seen these plumbing company's online marketing budget increase from $2,000 to $3,000 per month, to a year later these same companies are now spending over $30,000 per month on Google, Yahoo and Bing, that should give you a good indication how important it is to been seen on these major search engines.  If your a plumbing company I strongly recommend you hire a professional online marketer who has a deep understanding of online marketing so they can help you grow your plumbing business online.

Los Angeles Emergency Plumber - Middle of the night? Busted pipe?

Los Angeles Emergency Plumber

Middle of the night?  Busted pipe?  Your going to need a plumber. But what plumbing company is open in the middle of the night that you can trust in Los Angeles?



Well first of all, it needs to be a Los Angeles emergency plumber or local plumbing company that will pick up the phone to answer your desperate emergency plumbing call. You will also want to make sure they are close enough to your area so that they won't have you waiting a long time.

Living in Los Angeles you have many different suburbs which many of them are just a few miles away from each other, but when you factor in the typical LA traffic, a 11 mile commute can turn into a 45 minute drive, so you'll want to ask the plumber how long will it take for them to arrive at your location.

Keep in mind when you hire a plumber that handles middle of the night emergency plumbing calls you are going to pay a premium, so be ready to pay double or triple the price of a non-emergency plumbing call.

Lastly, when you call an emergency plumber in Los Angeles make sure your are clear on what the emergency is, be as specific as possible and avoid trying to get the plumber to give you an exact price to repair the emergency over the phone.  The same way as if you had car problems you would take your car to the mechanic shop and only then could your mechanic tell you how much it would cost to repair your car.  You must also allow the plumber to inspect and diagnose your plumbing problem to give you a proper price on fixing your plumbing emergency.
