Background

River Flow Plumbing partnered with Web Rank Digital to increase local visibility, generate consistent inbound plumbing leads, and compete against well-established plumbing companies in the New Braunfels, Texas area. With homeowners relying on Google Search and Google Maps to find plumbers for urgent repairs and maintenance, strong local SEO visibility was essential to driving calls and service requests.

Operating in a competitive market with top competitors holding over 230 Google reviews, River Flow Plumbing needed a strategy that would allow them to gain visibility and credibility without relying on paid advertising.
