Tips to grow your business

from the experts

Background

Essential Roofing and Plumbing is the trusted choice for roofing and plumbing services in Wagga Wagga. This family-owned business brings nearly a decade of local experience and offers a complete range of services, so customers don’t have to juggle multiple trades. 

The Challenge

Ray, the owner of the business, had a website from a previous provider that performed poorly and failed to bring in phone calls. It wasn’t being seen by the right people, so it wasn’t bringing in any new jobs. 

The Solution

To improve his online visibility and start getting more calls, Ray worked with Michelle, our local digital strategist in Wagga Wagga. Together, they used our LocalVis product to set up his website, Google Business Profile, and Localsearch Profile, making sure his details were consistent and easy for customers to find. 


Here’s a five-star review Ray shared about his experience working with the team: 


“I’ve had a positive experience with Localsearch taking over my website and marketing. Michelle from Wagga helped start up the website, assisting with marketing strategies, key words and layouts to help create an effective website. After a couple months with the team, I can confidently say I’m tracking more online work than before. They have a great team and are always trying to further develop strategies and increase traffic to your business!” 

The Results

With the right setup and strategy, Ray’s new website is helping him get more customers and build trust online.
