do i need a website for my plumbing business?

depends how customers find you now and how you want to grow.

you need a website if:

new customers search online: most people search "plumber near me" or "emergency plumber [town]" when they need help. no website means you don't appear in search results.

you want to look professional: customers check online before calling. no website makes business look small or outdated.

you rely on google business profile: profile works better with website linked. increases trust and click-through rate.

competitors have websites: customers compare options. competitor with website looks more established.

you do not need a website if:

all work comes from repeat customers or word of mouth: existing customers already have your number.

you work through platforms like checkatrade or mybuilder exclusively: platform profile serves as online presence.

you're too busy and turning work away: no need to increase visibility if you can't handle more jobs.

you're retiring soon: not worth investment if business ending.

what website does for plumbers:

shows service area clearly. customers know if you cover their location.

lists services offered. emergency callouts, boiler installation, bathroom fitting. helps customers know what you do.

provides contact methods. phone, email, contact form. customers choose how to reach you.

builds trust through professionalism. proper website signals established business.

appears in search results. captures customers actively looking for plumber right now.

what website does not do:

generate instant bookings. customers still call or email to discuss job.

replace good work or reputation. website helps people find you but quality keeps them coming back.

work without local presence. still need service area, google business profile, reviews.

cost consideration:

computer web: £179 for working website. three pages, hosting included first year, content written.

pays for itself with 1-2 jobs from search traffic.
