Social Media Marketing for Plumbers

Social media for plumbers isn’t about dancing on TikTok or posting memes - it’s about showcasing your craftsmanship, building trust, and staying top-of-mind when emergency strikes. We're experts in organic and paid social media for plumbers.

What is social media for plumbers?

What is content marketing for plumbers?

Social media marketing for plumbers is the strategic use of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to connect with potential customers, showcase your expertise, and generate qualified leads. 

It transforms your plumbing business from an emergency contact into a trusted household advisor that homeowners engage with regularly. 

Rather than waiting for disasters to strike, effective social media marketing puts your brand in front of homeowners while they’re planning renovations, considering upgrades, or simply scrolling through their daily feed. Our social media services are split into two pots:

  • Organic Social Media – Posting content, adding value, building trust and keeping your business front of mind.
  • Paid Social Media – Effective social media ads with a twist, targeting lookalike customers, website visitors and more.

Why do plumbers need content marketing?

Today, homeowners research, vet, and even pre-qualify service providers through social platforms before making contact. 

Plumber social media marketing humanises your plumbing business by featuring the real people behind the work, the tools and techniques that set you apart, and the genuine customer experiences that build trust.

The visual nature of plumbing work – the transformation from problem to solution – creates perfect content for social media platforms. A clogged drain cleared, a bathroom remodelled, or a water heater upgraded all become powerful before-and-afters that showcase and sell your expertise. 

Social media provides a great opportunity to reach new customers where they spend their time. We use a strategic paid social media ad strategy to reach potential customers. Our aim is to capture intent and get your services to people who are likely to become customers. We can do this in a couple of different ways.

  • Target people who have visited your website (or specific areas of your website)
  • Target people who have visited and interacted with your social media profiles
  • Target people who are in your email database or have  made contact with your business
  • Target customers who have previously paid for your services.
  • Create lookalike audiences based on all the above, targeting potential leads that share similar attributes to those who have previously converted into customers.

Clever right?
