Northside Plumbing is a 12-person family business in Manchester. They had steady word-of-mouth but almost no search visibility — a GBP with no photos, a wrong category, and stale reviews. We rebuilt the profile, fixed 34 local citations, and published 6 high-intent service pages. In 90 days: calls from Google up 41%, direction requests up 58%, booked jobs up 38%.

The challenge

Northside had been in business for 20 years and relied almost entirely on referrals. Their Google Business Profile listed the wrong primary category, had no photos, and hadn't been updated in years. Their website had a single page with no location or service content. Competitors with newer businesses were outranking them for "plumber near me."
