Websites for Plumbers in Clanfield: What to Put on Yours
A plumber's website has two kinds of visitor: one with water coming through the ceiling and one planning a bathroom. Here is how to serve both across Clanfield and the places around it, and a £500 build you own outright.
A website for a plumber in Clanfield needs a page for each service, a page for each place covered, the registrations and reviews the business really has, and a tap-to-call number on every page. Dean Keating, the publisher of Clanfield.co, based in neighbouring Horndean, builds this for trades for £500 one-off, owned outright, with 12 months of SEO.

One person has a leak and wants a plumber within the hour. Another is planning a new bathroom and will compare three firms over a fortnight. They are different customers and they should land on different pages.
That is why a plumber's site needs a page for each service: emergency plumber, boiler repair, boiler service, leak repair, bathroom fitting, blocked drain. People search for the job, usually with a place name after it, and the page they land on should be about that job.
Call-out hours, stated plainly
Leaks and boiler breakdowns do not keep office hours. Put your phone number at the top of every page as a tap-to-call button, and say clearly when you take call-outs, so that someone knows whether to ring you at nine at night.
Most visitors will be on a phone. Try your own site on yours and see whether you can ring the business in one tap from any page.
Gas work: only what you are registered for
If you work on gas, customers expect to see that you are registered to do it. Show the registration you actually hold, with your number. Do not list gas work if you are not registered for it, and never let anyone put a badge on your site that is not yours.
The villages and towns to name
A plumber in Horndean is a different search from a plumber in Clanfield, and so is a plumber in Petersfield. If you cover those places, along with Catherington, Chalton, Finchdean or Waterlooville, give each one a page, and give each service a page in each place. A small firm then shows up wherever it works and not only in the road it is based on. That is where a 200-page site comes from.
Use your own photos
Before-and-after pictures of a bathroom, neat pipework and a boiler you installed will sell your work better than anything else on the site. Use your own, not stock images.
Be in the local directory too
Clanfield.co has a Builders & Tradespeople section, and a basic listing is free. Add your business if it is missing. Keep asking customers for Google reviews as well. A website and genuine reviews work together, and neither replaces the other.
