The Challenge
Buried on Page 3 While Competitors Owned the Map Pack
Denver Drain Masters had a solid reputation with existing customers but couldn't crack the first page of Google for a single plumbing keyword. Their outdated website hadn't been touched in 4 years. They had no GBP, no reviews, and were spending $800/month on Angi leads with a 35% close rate.
Page 3 Google for every target keyword — effectively invisible
No Google Business Profile — missing from Maps entirely
Zero online reviews across all platforms
$800/month on Angi with poor lead quality
Outdated website with no mobile optimization
