    RAKS Quality Plumbing, from the brief to the result in 5 short slides.

    1. The business

      A licensed plumbing crew based in Wahroonga

      RAKS Quality Plumbing handles drains, hot water, gas, leaks and renovations from its Wahroonga base, serving Sydney, with a real person on the phone around the clock.

    2. The brief

      A page for each job and each suburb

      RAKS's Google Ads answer searches for specific jobs and for plumbers in specific suburbs. Each needed a page about exactly that, with the call button never more than a glance away.

    3. What we built

      153 pages, sorted the way people look

      18 services in five groups under one menu, 119 suburb pages in four regions, and the same call button and quote form on every page.

    4. Built for phones

      Call now, from the first screen

      On a phone a red Call now bar stays at the bottom of every page, and the phone number sits in the top bar above the logo.

    5. What it connects to

      Searches naming a suburb did best

      In the first five weeks of Google Ads, 54% of enquiries from searches naming a suburb became won jobs, and 73% of won jobs started with a phone call.

      78%

      Nearly four in five pages are suburb pages

      • Suburb pages78%
      • Service and group pages15%
      • Home, hubs and info pages7%

      119 of the 153 pages are suburb pages, each naming the suburb in its headline and answering questions for that suburb. Service and group pages make up most of the rest, so a search for one job or for a plumber in one suburb has a page about exactly that.

    • The build

      5

      One menu holds every service, with the popular jobs beside it

      Plumbing Services opens on five groups: drains, hot water and gas, leaks and pipes, emergency, and renovations and maintenance. Hover over a service and the right-hand panel lists its most common jobs, a link to the full page and a call button.

    • The build

      3

      Service pages set out three scope options before anyone calls

      The leaking showers page explains that most leaks can be re-sealed without re-tiling, then lays out three options from a quick fix to a full replacement, each with what is included. The four steps that follow say the price is agreed in writing on site before work starts.

    • The build

      1 tap

      On a phone, Call now is pinned to the bottom from the first screen

      A red Call now bar sits at the bottom of every phone screen, under a line saying a real plumber answers 24/7. The top bar keeps the phone number above the logo, so there are two ways to ring before the visitor scrolls.

    We built one services menu with the popular jobs and a call button beside each service. We also added service pages with three scope options and the four steps after a call.

    The business

    RAKS Quality Plumbing is a licensed and insured plumbing crew based in Wahroonga, on Sydney's Upper North Shore, serving Sydney, with its suburb pages covering the North Shore, the Northern Beaches and the northern suburbs. It handles blocked drains and sewers, hot water and gas, leaks and burst pipes, roof plumbing, and bathroom and kitchen work, and a real person answers the phone around the clock. The price is agreed in writing before work starts, and there is no call-out fee on a booked job.

    The brief

    People with a plumbing problem search for the job they have, such as a leaking shower, or for a plumber in their own suburb. RAKS's Google Ads answer those searches, so each one needed a page about exactly that job or that suburb.

    The brief was a site that lists every service the way a homeowner looks for it, gives each suburb in the service area its own page, and keeps the call button within reach on every screen, from the home page to the smallest suburb page.

    One menu, five groups

    The header carries a dark top bar with the open-now status, the no call-out promise, upfront fixed prices and the phone number, above the logo, the menu and two buttons: call and Book online. Plumbing Services opens a single panel with five groups: drains, hot water and gas, leaks and pipes, emergency, and renovations and maintenance. Hover over a service and the right-hand side lists its most popular jobs, a link to the full page and a red call button that says the line is open 24/7.

    18 service pages, each with the scope set out

    The home page shows all 18 services as photo cards. A service page, such as leaking showers, opens with the job in the headline, one line on how the crew fixes it, the call button and a link to the Google reviews, beside the same quote form. Further down it explains the job in plain words, sets out three scope options from a quick fix to a full replacement, walks through the four steps from the call to a job done and guaranteed, and answers the common questions, with related services at the end.

    119 suburb pages in four regions

    The service-areas page lists every suburb page under its region: Northern Beaches, Lower North Shore, Upper North Shore and the Northern Suburbs, with a search box for the suburb. Each suburb page names the suburb in its headline, then lists all 18 services, the four steps after a call and the reasons to book, followed by questions answered for that suburb and links to the other suburbs in its region.

    What happens after the call

    The home page explains the call in four steps beside a photo of the crew: a real person answers at any hour, the price is agreed in writing, a licensed local turns up, and the job is finished clean and guaranteed. Reviews, a gallery of the crew's recent work and the industry memberships follow, and the FAQs answer what a homeowner asks before booking.

    Built for phones

    On a phone, the dark top bar keeps the open-now status and the phone number above the logo and the menu button. A red Call now bar is pinned to the bottom of every screen from the moment the page opens, under a line saying a real plumber answers 24/7.

    The quote form stacks to one column below the opening, so the first screen offers two ways to ring before the visitor scrolls, and the call is never more than a thumb away.

    What it connects to

    The site is where RAKS's Google Ads land. Ads for a specific job open on the matching service page, and local ads open on suburb pages. Calls and forms from the site are traced to the ad they came from and matched to the jobs the client marks as won.

    In the first five weeks of Google Ads, 54% of enquiries from searches naming a suburb became won jobs, and 73% of won jobs started with a phone call. The RAKS Quality Plumbing campaign case study sets out how that was measured.

    The first call is free and there is no deck.

    Book a call
    Why does the RAKS website have a page for every suburb?

    People often search for a plumber in their own suburb. A page that names the suburb, lists every service and answers local questions gives that search a direct answer, with the call button in the same place.

    How is the services menu organised?

    Into five groups: drains, hot water and gas, leaks and pipes, emergency, and renovations and maintenance. Hover over a service to see its most common jobs, a link to the full page and a call button.

    What is on a service page?

    The job and how the crew fixes it, the call button, the quote form, three scope options from a quick fix to a full replacement, the four steps after a call, common questions and related services.

    How does the site work on a phone?

    A red Call now bar is pinned to the bottom of every screen, and the top bar keeps the phone number above the logo. The quote form stacks to one column below the opening.

    How does the website connect to RAKS's Google Ads?

    Job ads open on the matching service page and local ads on suburb pages. Calls and forms are traced to the ad and matched to the jobs the client marks as won, and the campaign case study reports the results.

    What did SoudCoh deliver for RAKS Quality Plumbing?
