A plumber website that gets the call when the boiler breaks

Yes, if you do. Put it with your services or strong points, with the hours that are true. The AI never writes “available 24/7” unless you type it.

Through the quote form on your website. Your customer describes the job and leaves their details. Every request lands in the inbox in your account and you get an email. The form costs €18.15 to set up and €29.04 a year, incl. VAT (it comes with the Tradesman package). Without the form, customers simply call, message or email you.

Yes, if you are and you type it in, with your registration number if you like. Work on gas appliances needs that registration, so leave gas work out if you don’t have it. Registrations and memberships you don’t mention, the AI never adds.

Yes. It’s made for installers in general: plumbers, heating engineers, electricians. You put in your own services and choose one page or up to five.

Your website runs on your own domain name, Google can read it, and the code says what kind of business you are, your address if you show it, your hours and the places you cover. When someone searches “plumber near me”, Google often shows businesses on the map first; for that you need a free Google Business Profile. Your account has a short checklist to set it up and to ask customers for a review. Nobody can promise you a top spot, and I won’t either.

Website, 1 page: €67.76 the first year, then €43.56 a year, incl. VAT. Your number large at the top, your services and the places you cover, and one tap to call or WhatsApp. Website, 1 page, with quote form and inbox: €114.95 the first year, then €72.60 a year. A request for a new boiler, bathroom or heat pump, with photos and the address included. Tradesman: up to 5 pages with quote form and inbox: €143.99 the first year, then €72.60 a year. Heating, plumbing, call-outs and the places you cover each on a page of their own, with the quote form on them. Website, 1 page, with online booking: €170.61 the first year, then €116.16 a year. Customers book their own boiler service on a day that suits you. The first year covers making your website, hosting, https and the domain name (a new one in your name, or your own); the years after cover hosting, the domain name and the add-ons you keep. Excl. VAT, that’s €56, then €36 a year.

You see it while you fill in your details, on a computer and on a phone; the copy is written in about half a minute. Once you approve it and pay, it goes online straight away. Then I check it myself, within one working day. If the system flags something, I check first and the site goes online after that. Already have a domain name? Your website runs on it as soon as you’ve set the DNS records at your registrar; you get an email when it’s ready.
