When a pipe bursts at 2am, homeowners Google it. We make sure your plumbing company is the first call they make — not your competitor's. AP Digital builds booked-estimate systems for BC plumbers using Google Ads, Local Service Ads, and Google Business Profile optimization.
People searching "plumber near me" often have water on their floor, and they usually call the first company they find.
Plumbing service calls typically run $200–$800, and drain work, water heater replacement and re-pipes can run $2K–$15K.
No contracts. If we miss the booked-call target we agree on in 90 days, we keep working at no fee for a further 30 days.
What Sets Us Apart
BC Plumbing Market: What You're Competing For
Metro Vancouver has hundreds of plumbing companies competing for the same homeowner searches. The plumbers who show up first on Google, in Local Services Ads and Search Ads, tend to get most of the calls. Everyone else fights for referrals and HomeStars scraps.
The BC plumbing market has clear seasonal patterns: frozen pipe emergencies spike from November to February, drain cleaning peaks in spring after winter debris, and water heater replacements are year-round. We build campaigns that match these cycles so your budget tracks real demand.
The key is targeting emergency and high-intent keywords, not broad terms like "plumber" — and tracking all the way to booked estimates, not just form fills.

How much do Google Ads cost for plumbers in Metro Vancouver?
Most plumbing companies invest $1,000–$2,500/month in ad spend plus a $759/month management fee. Plumbing keywords like "plumber near me" typically cost $8–$25 per click in Metro Vancouver, and service calls typically run $200–$800, so we judge campaigns on cost per booked job. Emergency keywords convert fastest and have the highest value per call.
How fast will I get calls from Google Ads?
Most clients see their first qualified leads within 2 weeks of launch. Emergency plumbing searches ("burst pipe," "clogged drain," "no hot water") convert immediately because the caller needs help right now.
Should plumbers use Google Ads or Local Service Ads?
Both. Local Service Ads (LSAs) appear at the very top of Google, with a "Google Guaranteed" badge where Google offers them for plumbing in your area, and you pay per verified lead. Standard Google Search Ads cover the rest of the first page. Running both means you can appear in both places for plumbing searches in your area.
How do I compete with big plumbing companies like Mr. Rooter?
You don't need to outspend franchise operations. We geo-target your ads to your specific service area, focus on emergency and high-intent keywords where local plumbers win, and build your Google reviews to establish trust. Most homeowners prefer a local plumber over a franchise when the reviews are strong.
What plumbing keywords should I target in BC?
We target a mix of emergency keywords ("emergency plumber [city]," "burst pipe repair"), service keywords ("drain cleaning," "water heater installation," "sewer line repair"), and location keywords ("plumber Surrey," "plumber Burnaby"). We also add negative keywords to block searches for DIY plumbing, plumbing jobs, and plumbing supplies.
Can you help my plumbing company get more Google reviews?
Yes. We set up an automated review request system that texts customers after every completed job with a direct link to your Google Business Profile. More 5-star reviews improve your Local Pack ranking and make your ads convert better — it's the single highest-leverage thing a plumber can do for online visibility.
Do you work with plumbers outside Vancouver?

No. AP Digital works month-to-month with all plumbing clients. No lock-in contracts, no cancellation fees. We agree a lead-volume target at kickoff, and if we miss it by month 3 we keep working at no fee for a further 30 days. Ad spend is paid to Google or Meta either way.
