Murray Plumbing’s founder, Ryan Murray, was looking to expand its reach to gain more attention and business.

Although Murray Plumbing is a big presence in El Dorado County, the plumbing services company was not getting the leads it was looking for.

The Gameplan

After Ryan told Hozio what he wanted, we got straight to work developing a plan that would cover anything and everything that would give Murray Plumbing the best opportunity to grow and succeed.

Localized SEO

Making our mark in Murray’s Plumbing’s local market was step one. We needed to make sure that we were helping Murray Plumbing rank better in the El Dorado County area, while

also boosting the website’s credibility with details such as positive reviews and language that reaches out to search engines and AI platforms in a local capacity.

Determining keywords was an integral part of this process, such as recognizing the success in the “near me” approach that people are quick to take when they want local and convenient service.

By showing Google that Murray Plumbing is legit, credibility, trustworthiness, and rankings increased, which meant that visitors were more likely to become legitimate leads.

GMB Optimization

Reaching out to potential leads also meant updating Murray Plumbing’s Google My Business profile. For one thing, we had to make sure that the company’s name, address, and phone number were all accurate and matched what appears on the website. Having accurately listed hours was also integral to making sure that customers knew when the business is open.

However, part of improving a GMB is to make sure that Murray Plumbing did not just show up in its most local area. Part of seeing an increase in business was having Murray Plumbing show up in surrounding areas as well, so that it becomes an option, maybe even the top option, in neighborhoods outside where the company is mainly located.

Google Ads Campaign

We knew that we couldn’t just wait for our long-term SEO practices to kick in. Those strategies can take a few months to actively work, and Ryan needed Murray Plumbing’s name out there now.

Our Google Ads made sure that Murray Plumbing was still getting online attention while we were building up the SEO strategy.

The Results

When we look at the difference in Murray Plumbing’s journey, we see a successful campaign that continues to grow by the day.
