Bringing Plumbing and Heating Services to Derby

Adding a Plumbing & Heating Service to a business

When an existing client in Derbyshire wanted to grow and expand his business to offer plumbing and heating services to customers we discussed the options with him. We decided that by creating and promoting a separate plumbing and heating business on a separate website would be most beneficial in terms of enquiries, especially after we had conducted some search term research.


The key would be focusing on plumbers Derby, as this would be the most searched term for plumbing and heating services in the area along with emergency plumbers Derby. As the business owner wanted to offer plumbing and heating services along with other key trade services under the heading of a group business - it was key to use consistent branding across the new site. This was relatively easy as we had the template from is existing electrical and carpentry service businesses.


To create a compelling website for plumbing and heating services we needed to understand all the services that the plumbers the could provide. Whilst researching other similar businesses in the area it did reveal that more services and scope could be gained from his plumbers the business owner knew which areas would be most beneficial in terms of profitability and return on investment. The final focus of service areas included: boiler installation, boiler repairs and boiler servicing. Whilst boiler servicing would not on it's own be the most profitable service, it would lead to regular annual visits to customers allowing his business to hopefully, remain front of mind to these customers for other plumbing services. 

Power flushing, underfloor heating, installing smart heating controllers also made up the additional plumbing and heating services for this business unit.


We then set about creating a new website and associated social media profiles to launch the plumbing and heating business as a stand alone service but to also cross promote it as part of the group along with their other services.


A key part of the SEO strategy was, as always, to focus on good quality backlinks, which would include articles discussing the benefits of using professional and suitably qualified heating engineers to carry out certain gas works around homes and businesses along with some background as the benefits of utilising those particular services provided by a certified professional. 


An example of such an article could be:

The article would then include a description of what the heating solutions would be and then explain how a certified gas engineer electrician would go about installing these solutions along with what the benefits would be once fitted. An introduction to such an article would read along these lines:
