A plumber sells two very different things: a repair people want right now, and a project they mull over. Each has its platform.
A leak at 11pm, a water heater that gives out: the person wants a plumber right now, near them. They search, they call the first one who inspires trust. Google Ads and your business profile do that job.
Here what counts is showing up, answering the phone and having recent reviews. A beautiful video is useless to someone standing in water.
Replacing a bath with a shower, redoing a bathroom, changing a heating system: the person thinks about it without actively searching. A before and after video, filmed at a customer's home, gets them to ask for a quote.
These jobs have a higher ticket and can be planned. They are what fill a diary.
