Cut+Dry, a major ecommerce platform for foodservice distributors and manufacturers, is integrating Instacart’s Carrot Ads technology to unlock new advertising revenue streams and connect brands with buyers at the point of sale.
Food manufacturers have long faced challenges in influencing purchasing decisions in foodservice. This partnership bridges that gap, empowering brands to engage buyers directly while opening new revenue opportunities for distributors.
What’s happening:
Cut+Dry will integrate Carrot Ads, Instacart’s ad tech platform, allowing food manufacturers to advertise directly to operators and distributors.
The move expands digital advertising into the foodservice space, which has historically been underrepresented in online marketing.
Distributors gain additional revenue streams by hosting ads, while manufacturers boost brand awareness and sales.
Key benefits:
For manufacturers: Direct access to buyers with more influence at the point of sale.
For distributors: New ad revenue and greater engagement with operators.
Why we care. This integration provides a new avenue to reach decision-makers in the multi-billion dollar foodservice industry, where traditional advertising channels have limited reach. The partnership creates a scalable, measurable ad platform that connects brands to a previously untapped audience in foodservice distribution.
What they’re saying. Mani Kulasooriya, CEO of Cut+Dry, said:
“By integrating Instacart’s advertising capabilities with our platform, we’re creating one of the largest digital ad opportunities in foodservice.”
What’s next. Carrot Ads on Cut+Dry will be available over the next few quarters, giving brands new avenues to reach the multi-billion dollar foodservice market. Instacart will expand its Carrot Ads partnerships, further bridging the gap between retail and foodservice industries.
Bottom line. This partnership taps into the growing foodservice market, driving growth for brands and distributors alike while establishing new digital ad opportunities in an evolving industry.
Google will update its cryptocurrency and related products policy this month, refining the rules for advertising crypto-related services in the United Kingdom.
As the crypto industry grows, clearer advertising rules aim to protect consumers and ensure compliance with local regulations, fostering a more transparent environment.
What’s changing:
Beginning Jan. 15, advertisers offering cryptocurrency exchanges targeting the UK must meet specific requirements and obtain certification from Google.
Ads for cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets will only be permitted if the advertiser is registered with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Hardware wallet ads are allowed, but they must strictly provide storage services without engaging in trading, selling, or exchanging assets.
Certification requirements:
Advertisers must comply with all local legal requirements and secure Google’s certification to promote their products.
Non-compliance with these rules may lead to ad disapproval or account suspension.
Why we care. Crypto businesses targeting the UK can now reach audiences through Google Ads, provided they adhere to FCA regulations and Google’s certification process.
This update opens opportunities for regulated crypto firms while ensuring consumer protection through vetted advertisers.
What’s next:
Google’s policy update will apply globally to all advertisers offering financial products targeting the UK.
Advertisers are encouraged to review and pursue certification before Jan. 15 to avoid disruptions.
Bottom line. Google’s updated policy reflects its commitment to aligning with financial regulations, creating a safer ecosystem for crypto advertising while supporting compliant businesses.
For example, when summer sales dropped, they scheduled customer calls. The feedback was clear:
“We love the blanket, but we’re sweating. It’s in storage until winter.” – Aaron Spivak
That single insight led to their breakthrough “ice fabric” technology, which:
Raised $1M on Kickstarter
Sold 3,000 units in 72 hours
Became their highest-margin product
The entrepreneurs continued talking to customers to inform product development.
“When people ask what our marketing hack is or which agency we worked with, they miss the point. We had 3,000 people on the phone tell us exactly what they wanted. That’s the real secret.” – Aaron Spivak
How to Have Customer Conversations
It’s easy to overthink product research. But Hush proved that you just need to begin talking to customers.
Here’s a simple process to get started:
Send a brief email with a link for a 15-minute call. The Hush team found this approach got better responses than long surveys or complicated feedback forms.
Approach each conversation with genuine curiosity. Don’t defend your products or explain your constraints. Just listen. Ask what their perfect product would look like. Follow interesting threads that emerge.
Start with five customers this week. That’s enough to spot patterns while being totally manageable. Even if you’re swamped, you can find 75 minutes for conversations that could transform your business.
Take detailed notes using their exact words. In addition to product ideas, you can get feedback points and marketing content.
The goal is to build such deep customer understanding that product failures become nearly impossible.
You may not remember product specs, but you likely recall Sara Blakely cutting the feet off her pantyhose to create Spanx. Or Patagonia’s founder testing gear on mountain expeditions.
Most brands miss by showing only the highlight reel—the wins, the perfect moments, and the polished content.
Telling raw, relatable stories is how you build a lasting brand.
How Mid Day Squares Built a $20M Chocolate Empire Through Storytelling
In 2018, Jake Karls and his co-founders launched Mid Day Squares with a radical commitment to transparency.
They documented everything about building the company—from production line disasters to legal battles to funding negotiations.
Mid Day Sqaures unconventional approach involved:
Sharing the entrepreneurial journey, not just the product (85-90% of content)
Showing behind-the-scenes wins and failures
Filming raw, unscripted moments
“When people ask what’s our marketing hack or which agency we worked with, they’re missing the point. Building in public and sharing our authentic story turned customers into fans who felt like they were buying from friends.” – Jake Karls
Mid Day Squares grew to over $20 million in revenue. And Jake attributes much of their success to creative content.
But brand storytelling isn’t just for founder-led content.
How TBH Skincare Makes Customer-Focused Content
When Rachel Wilde started TBH Skincare, she took a different approach to content marketing.
In addition to founder stories, she created content on real customer experiences. It focused on honest education about acne treatment.
“I always say start with the customer. Understand what they want, and hit them with the right with the right message in the right place at the right time.” – Rachel Wilde
This customer-first storytelling shaped every aspect of their content, including:
Focusing on raw, unfiltered customer results
Creating educational content that destigmatizes acne
TBH Skincare grew to $14M ($22M AUD) in four years.
How to Start Creating Engaging Stories
Before investing in content, identify what makes your brand relatable. Here are some best practices to get started:
Document your “why.” Beyond making money, what drives your company? What change are you trying to create?
Choose your storytelling lane. Will you focus on founder content? Customer stories? Educational content? Pick an approach that plays to your strengths and resonates with your audience.
Start small but consistent. You don’t need fancy equipment or a full content team. Both Mid Day Squares and TBH Skincare started with iPhones and posted daily while staying true to their story.
Test and iterate. Track which stories resonate deeply. Look for patterns in engagement and sales attribution. Double down on what works.
“Most brands create different content for each marketing channel. We just document our journey and then adapt those stories for different platforms. It’s more authentic and way more efficient.” – Jake Karls
The TBH Skincare team has found authentic stories outperform traditional ads across every channel.
“When you have a piece of content that really resonates with people, you can use it everywhere. Our best-performing ads weren’t planned campaigns—they were real moments we captured and then amplified.” – Rachel Wilde
The lesson?
View storytelling as the key to better marketing. It’ll boost all your other channels.
3. Optimize Search Marketing (Paid and Organic)
Every day, billions of people tell Google exactly what they want to buy. Capturing this traffic isn’t cheap or easy—but it’s steady.
Paid search gives instant traffic but needs constant investment. Organic search is free but takes time to build up. Together, they drive consistent sales.
“The key is perfect alignment. Your keyword matches the intent, your ad matches the keyword, and your landing page matches the ad. No disconnects.” – Dan Turner
Here’s exactly what they changed:
Built granular campaigns: Instead of lumping everything together, they created separate campaigns for each product category. Every campaign got its own custom landing page and clear conversion path.
Implemented systematic testing: Every ad needed a minimum of 5,000 impressions before making decisions. Proper budget allocation for each test. Regular creative refreshes.
The result?
A consistent 10x return on ad spend (ROAS).
How to Make the Most Out of Your Google Ads Campaigns
Before you spend a dollar on ads, understand your profit. Then, analyzing your competitors and keyword research follows.
Calculate Your Campaign Profitability
Work out how much you can spend to get a customer while making a profit. Without this calculation, you risk burning your ad budget on dud campaigns.
To avoid this mistake, note three metrics:
Target cost per click (CPC)
Expected conversion rate
Maximum customer acquisition cost (CAC)
Here’s an example of the math:
Product price: $100
Profit margin: 50% (meaning you make $50 per sale)
Target ROAS: 3:1 (for every $1 spent on ads, you want $3 in revenue)
Expected conversion rate: 2% (2 out of 100 visitors buy)
The maximum CAC calculation is $50 profit ÷ 3 = $16.67 maximum ad spend per customer. With a 2% conversion rate, you can’t spend over $16.67 to acquire a customer while keeping campaigns profitable.
Do Keyword Research
Keyword research answers a simple question: are people searching for what you’re selling?
Start by Googling your products to see what ads are displaying.
For example, here’s what the ads look like for “pendulum lights.”
There are lots of ads, which implies they’re working.
You could theoretically follow this simple process of Googling, observing, and copying.
But, to reduce wasted budget, use a tool like Semrush. It’ll help you understand the demand and cost for profitable keywords.
Helpful content on your product and category pages
Core technical optimization
Test everything. Double down on what works. Cut what doesn’t.
Every dollar should drive immediate sales (paid) or build long-term assets (organic).
4. Turn Email Into Sustainable Sales
The top brands drive 30-50% of their revenue through email marketing.
These email programs succeed by connecting three foundations we’ve covered:
Products customers want (Strategy #1)
Authentic storytelling (Strategy #2)
Steady website traffic (Strategy #3)
But there’s a fourth element that ties everything together: systematic execution.
Let’s explore how to build an email program that turns subscribers into customers—and customers into repeat buyers.
Note: The best practices I’m about to share are inspired by Boyuan Zhao, an email and SMS consultant for Shopify brands. I recommend checking out his free four-hour training on YouTube. It’s some of the best content I’ve seen on email marketing.
Build a Quality Email List
Your email list isn’t just a number.
“Most brands obsess over list size. But I’ve found that smaller, engaged lists consistently outperform massive, unengaged ones.” – Boyuan Zhao
Large lists built through aggressive tactics (giveaways, lead magnets, etc.) often convert at 1-2%.
Meanwhile, carefully grown lists using targeted pop-ups and organic signups can hit 8-15% conversion rates.
The math is simple:
100,000 subscribers at 1% = 1,000 customers
20,000 engaged subscribers at 10% = 2,000 customers
Plus, better engagement means higher deliverability. Which means more of your emails actually reach inboxes.
Start by optimizing your signup forms:
Test different offers (10% off vs. free shipping)
Use clear value propositions
Target exit intent to capture interested visitors
Avoid generic “Subscribe to our newsletter” messaging
You likely have a decent welcome series, abandoned cart emails, and a newsletter.
But to hit 50% attributed revenue to email, you need to think differently.
There are two shifts you need to make this happen.
Shift #1: Methodically Test Your Campaigns
“The brands consistently driving 50% of revenue through email aren’t doing anything revolutionary. They’re just incredibly systematic about execution.” – Boyuan Zhao
This means:
Testing one element at a time
Tracking actual revenue (not just opens and clicks)
Making small, continuous improvements
The results compound over time.
Shift #2: Simplify Your Automations
How many emails are in your sequences?
Probably too many.
“I’ve found that a well-executed 3-email sequence often outperforms complex 10-email flows. It’s not about the number of touchpoints. It’s about delivering the right message at the right time.” – Boyuan Zhao
Instead of building complex automations, focus on the fundamentals:
First impression (welcome)
Purchase intent (cart abandonment)
Post-purchase experience (reviews)
Reactivation (win-back)
Weave authentic brand storytelling into your automations and relentlessly test, test, test.
Do this, and you’re well on your way to more sales.
5. Optimize Operations for Profit (Free Calculator)
Even if you have winning products and amazing marketing, you can fail if your operations suck.
How Who Is Elijah Learned the True Cost of Growth
In 2023, founders Raquel and Adam Bouris of fragrance brand Who Is Elijah learned two expensive lessons about business.
First, their discovery set promotion seemed like a slam dunk: sell fragrance samples for $1 plus shipping.
They sold 6,000 sets in 24 hours.
“Sales looked great because thousands and thousands a week were going out.” – Adam Bouris
But the math told a different story.
Customers paid $1 plus $10 shipping. The actual shipping cost was $7-12 per unit. Add production, logistics, and overhead costs.
The result?
A 60% loss on every order. Ouch.
“We would’ve been better off turning the website off.” – Adam Bouris
Meanwhile, their team had grown from 28 to 44 people, but profits weren’t following.
Their initial approach followed conventional wisdom:
Hire department heads from big corporations
Build specialized teams for every function
Add headcount to solve anticipated problems
Despite growing revenue, operational costs were suffocating the business.
“One of the biggest problems founders make is they worry about the now instead of what’s on the other side of that decision. We were hiring people to fix problems six months away. That’s so stupid.” – Adam Bouris
Who Is Elijah made a complete operational reset, including two critical changes:
Fixed unit economics:
Stopped money-losing promotions
Calculated true cost per order
Built proper financial forecasting
Optimized team structure:
Cut their team from 44 to 21 people
Moved full-time specialists to agencies
Simplified internal processes
Built systems
Profitability improved. They also became more agile and innovative.
“I learned how to be a CFO the hard way, but I’m glad that I went through the pain.” – Adam Bouris
How to Build Better Operations
You can build efficient operations without an MBA or years of corporate experience. It starts with digging into four areas.
1. Understand Your Unit Economics
To understand your profitability create a system for tracking your unit economics.
Start with the three numbers that matter most:
1. Revenue per order
Average order value
Shipping revenue
Any other fees
2. Direct costs per order
Product cost
Shipping cost
Packaging cost
Payment processing fees
3. Operating costs per order
Marketing spend ÷ number of orders
Platform fees
Customer service time
Storage/warehouse costs
Here’s a basic calculator to help:
[CALCULATOR]
This is a starting point. The rest of your numbers (tools, complex calculations, etc.) can come later.
Pro tip: Use a tool like Cin7 to automate this tracking. The investment pays for itself by identifying profit leaks.
2. Build Systems, Not Band-Aids
When problems arise, the tendency is to:
Hire someone to fix it
Create a quick workaround
Ignore it until it becomes a crisis
Instead, step back and design systems that prevent future issues.
Start with your three most time-consuming processes, e.g., order fulfillment, customer services, and inventory management.
For each process:
Document exactly how it’s done now
Identify bottlenecks and failure points
Create standard operating procedures (SOPs)
Build quality control checkpoints
Add automation where possible
3. Optimize Your Supply Chain
Your supply chain impacts everything: cash flow, customer satisfaction, and profitability. Here’s how to optimize it:
First, map your current supply chain:
List all suppliers and their lead times (it’s essential to have 2nd and 3rd options)
Document shipping carriers and costs
Track inventory levels and turnover
Identify quality control points
Note payment terms and minimums
Then, negotiate better terms. Here’s an email template:
We’ve been working together for [X months/years] and have purchased [$ amount] of inventory during this time. I’d like to discuss ways we can grow our partnership.
The “Page with redirect” error in Google Search Console shows a page on your website is redirected to a different URL when the user or Googlebot attempts to access the URL.
This means all the pages listed in the report are not showing in search results.
Nothing new, right?
At first glance, this error in Google Search Console may not seem like the “nectar of the gods.”
But after reading through 138 questions in the Search Console Help community and seeing that Stack Exchange saw 278 views on a similar question, I realize there are probably many SEO professionals who would leave their entire life fortunes to solve this issue if they could.
In the name of very serious SEO needs, I had to investigate.
How do I fix ‘Page with redirect’ in Google Search Console?
1. Manually review all the pages flagged in the report
First, I manually reviewed all the pages flagged in the Google Search Console “Page with redirect” report.
To access the report, go to Google Search Console > Pages > and look under the section “Why pages aren’t indexed.”
Once in the report, I look for two things:
Is the chart rising?
Was the last crawl date recent?
If you answered yes, I recommend exporting the data to Google Sheets, Excel, or CSV to analyze further.
2. Determine if redirects are OK
Once you export the redirect file, you must determine if the redirects are OK.
Redirects are OK in two scenarios:
Permanent move: If you permanently move a URL to a new destination, a 301 redirect is ideal to maintain its value.
Broken links: If you were fixing a broken link to a relevant webpage, this redirect is OK.
If you audit all the redirects on this list and decide all the redirects listed are accurate and intentional, you can stop reading. You are done.
I recommend revisiting this report monthly and doing a deep dive every quarter.
3. Conduct a sampling of URLs using the Inspect tool
If you want to gut-check yourself, choose a sampling of 10-25 URLs from your export list to test in the Inspect URL tool in Google Search Console.
When inspecting the URLs, you’re looking to see if the status states, “Page is not indexed: Page with redirect.”
Also, the user-declared canonical tag should be the URL you created the 301 redirect to.
4. If redirects are a problem
There are a few scenarios where redirects become a problem.
302 redirects: If your 302 redirects are truly meant to be temporary (meaning less than a month or so), you can keep them. However, eventually, Google treats 302 redirects as 301 permanent redirects. When this happens, it can negatively impact rankings.
Too many redirects: If you notice redirect chains or loops, meaning URL A goes to URL B, then URL C, to get to its final destination of URL D, you will want to go back and create redirects for URL A, B, and C to point to the final destination of URL D.
Redirecting vital pages: If you accidentally redirected an important page, remove the redirect to avoid losing visibility in the SERPs.
5. Audit your XML sitemap
Always remember to double-check your XML sitemap. You want to ensure there are no redirects listed in the XML sitemap.
If redirects are listed in the XML sitemap, remove them.
Also, make sure the page you redirected the old URL to is listed in the XML sitemap.
You can filter submitted and unsubmitted pages from your XML sitemap in Google Search Console.
If you filter by submitted pages and see a list of URLs, you’ll want to remove these URLs from your XML sitemap if the redirect is accurate.
At the core of your “Page with redirect” error in Google Search Console lies a simple solution: taking a more mindful approach to your redirects and canonical tags. That’s it.
But just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it’s easy.
I run quarterly audits to review all canonical tags and redirect pages to ensure I follow proper protocol and the directives act as I want.
Plus, it’s a good habit. The fact that you’re adjusting canonical tags and implementing redirects is already a win in my book.
Even with that solid win, you, like many of us SEO professionals, still have room for improvement.
There’s nothing to fear with the ‘Page with redirect’ error in Google Search Console
Let’s be real: I’m not running to worship at the Google Gods alter to fix my “Page with redirect” error report in Google Search Console.
Nine times out of 10, there’s no action I need to take. However, moments of awe-inspiring glory have shed light on a URL that was not meant to be redirected.
The “Page with redirect” error report in Google Search Console has become a staple in my monthly SEO checklist routine.
If you have access to Google Search Console, you’re in the know now. You’re part of a community where holistic, clean, and effective SEO work is gospel.

We’re still in (very) early days for LLM (large language model) search, but fast-increasing user adoption is helping us draw insights on effective tactics for brands to deploy to appear in results on platforms like Perplexity, ChatGPT search, Gemini, and more.
This article looks at those tactics from a B2B lens, broken down by the following SEO initiatives:
Note that many of these tactics – but not all – should be familiar to SEOs who have experience with traditional search engines.
Content strategy
The first step toward creating effective content for LLMs is to understand the nature of user queries.
LLMs, more than traditional search engines, are host to conversational queries, like “How can I protect my business from ransomware attacks?” (where a similar Google query might be “ransomware attack protection for businesses”).
To adapt your content strategy, study the nature of the queries and create content that directly answers them. This includes conversational headings like “The best software to protect businesses from ransomware attacks.”
In B2B, where the purchase journey is longer, it’s not as simple as optimizing for product-related queries; it’s essential to incorporate educational content to ease users into the awareness and engagement stages.
When it comes to the content itself, many of the principles of traditional SEO apply – particularly the need to go both broad and deep to establish authority and relevance.
Incorporate supporting content like guides, case studies, and user testimonials.
Make sure you’re working with pillar pages linking to in-depth blogs like “How CRM helps sales teams close deals faster.”
Remember that context matters a ton for LLMs for each piece of content (no matter the format).
Optimize for nuanced, contextual responses by addressing multiple facets of a topic in the same piece.
For example, a rich blog post for a fintech company could be titled “What is embedded finance? Benefits and challenges for SaaS platforms,” with subsections for:
Benefits for startups.
Use cases in real-world scenarios.
Integration challenges and how to overcome them.
Semantic SEO
“Semantic SEO” is a relatively recent SEO initiative that means approaching content with respect to the full topic, not just keyword elements.
For example, a cloud solutions provider can use schema markup to:
Mark up product pages with “Product” schema for solutions like “Cloud Data Storage Services.”
Build authority by linking to their business profile on Wikipedia, LinkedIn, and/or Crunchbase.
Because semantic SEO widens its focus from keywords, it’s essential to optimize for diverse phrases and synonyms instead of fixating solely on exact-match keywords.
Let’s use a marketing automation platform as an example.
Along with optimizing for a primary keyword, like “lead generation software,” include synonyms and variants like “Automated lead management tools” and “B2B marketing platforms.”
At this point, technical SEO for LLMs isn’t (by my understanding) all that different than technical SEO for traditional search engines.
To increase your chances of showing up in LLM searches, tackle the following:
Data accessibility
Confirm content is crawlable and indexable by search engines and available for API integrations.
Optimize page speed and mobile performance for enhanced usability.
Structured data
Leverage structured data to signal intent and relevance clearly.
Implement detailed schema, such as “FAQPage,” “HowTo,” and “Product,” to improve how LLMs process your content.
User intent matching
Advanced SEO in both traditional search and LLMs incorporates an understanding of user intent into content.
For B2B, this content should be strategically distributed across all stages of the buyer journey: awareness, education, technical understanding of solutions, and ultimately purchase intent.
For “instant” queries, provide actionable and direct responses, formatting answers in bullet points or concise paragraphs for LLM readiness while providing links to deeper resources.
For example, a business offering AI-powered analytics can create content like: “What is predictive analytics in B2B?” and provide direct answers such as:
“Predictive analytics uses historical data to forecast future trends. For B2B, this helps identify potential leads and optimize sales strategies.”
This is perhaps the area where we see almost no difference (yet) between LLMs and traditional search engines: establishing E-E-A-T principles is critical.
To do this (if you aren’t already), make sure your owned media:
Prioritizes experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness in all content.
Includes author bios, credentials, and citations to reinforce trustworthiness.
Cites reliable sources like Gartner, Forrester, or proprietary data studies.
Builds backlinks from authoritative domains to strengthen your site’s credibility.
Gains mentions in trusted publications to improve how LLMs perceive your brand.
For example, a logistics software company could secure backlinks from:
Industry publications like Logistics Management.
Mentions in business-oriented media like TechCrunch or Forbes.
This initiative is where SEO practices diverge most widely from traditional search engines.
The way users interact with LLMs differs from how they interact with the Google search bar.
For LLM-specific content enhancements:
Focus on content that answers “People Also Ask” and conversational follow-up queries.
Experiment with creating and optimizing content designed for direct API consumption.
For example, a tech consulting firm could create a resource hub for topics like “common cloud migration questions” with detailed Q&A formats that AI can surface easily.
If user behavior continues to feature more structured, question-based queries, make sure your content is designed to answer those directly.
For example, a company specializing in ERP software can design content to appear for queries like:
“What are the best ERP solutions for mid-sized companies?”
“What is the ROI of implementing ERP software?”
Some LLMs (and we expect more to move in this direction) are multimedia-focused.
For those, rich media integration – using videos, infographics, and charts to enhance engagement and improve content retrievability – will help spur inclusion in search results.
For example, a cybersecurity firm can enhance blogs with:
Infographics summarizing “5 types of cyberattacks businesses should watch for in 2025.”
Embedded videos explaining “How our threat detection tool works in real-time.”
At this relatively early stage of LLM SEO maturity (and our understanding of it), continuous testing, measurement, and adaptation are among the most critical initiatives.
Because LLMs are in their infancy and because user behavior is changing so rapidly across the search landscape, find and regularly reference trusted sources to stay on top of trends and developments.
In 12 months, this article might look woefully outdated, so it’s best to keep your finger on the pulse to adapt quickly.

post, a large language model (LLM) or Gary. And you’d be right to ponder that and delve into the
intricacies of the language used that gives away LLMs, for this is the time of the year when we
can get away with publishing a blog post with barely any review (future Gary will deal with the

Want to know why some plumbing businesses dominate Google’s first page while others struggle to get noticed?
It’s not luck.
These plumbing companies all focus on the same core SEO strategies.
Take Deer Valley Plumbing Contractors, for instance.
They appear in Google’s 3-Pack when prospective customers in their area search for “plumbing company” and other related keywords.
And they have notably more reviews than the competition.
Their site also ranks for 3K keywords.
This helps Deer Valley Plumbing Contractors drive 2.7K organic visits to their website each month.
Traffic that would cost an estimated $44.7K per month in Google Ads.
The best part?
With SEO for plumbers, your business can achieve similar—or better—results.
In this guide, you’ll learn SEO fundamentals that’ll help your site rank higher, from local search to link-building.
But first, let’s start with a quick overview of what exactly plumbing SEO is.
What Is Plumbing SEO?
Plumbing SEO is a set of practices that increase a plumbing company’s website’s visibility in search engines like Google.
SEO for plumbers includes:
On-page optimization: Optimizing your service pages for key terms like “water heater repair” or “emergency plumber” by using strategic headers, meta descriptions, and location-based keywords that match how local customers actually search
Technical SEO: Making sure your plumbing website loads quickly on mobile devices, has intuitive navigation, including clear contact information, and works smoothly for emergency calls
Local SEO: Optimizing your Google Business Profile, service area pages, and local citations to show up in “near me” searches and Google Maps when homeowners need a plumber in your area
Content marketing: Creating helpful guides, FAQs, and service pages that answer common plumbing questions like “Why is my water heater leaking?” or “How to unclog a drain” to attract local homeowners searching for solutions
Link building: Building credibility and authority by getting featured in local business directories, home service websites, and plumbing supplier sites
What Are the Benefits of SEO for Plumbers?
SEO has many benefits for plumbers—especially if you’re at the top of the search engine results pages (SERPs).
This includes attracting more qualified leads, building authority, and increasing revenue—all without spending a dime on advertising.
Think about how people search for plumbers today.
When a homeowner’s water heater fails at midnight, or their kitchen sink backs up before a dinner party, they immediately grab their phone and search Google.
SEO increases your chances of showing up in these searches, helping you get more ready-to-hire leads.
And you have plenty of opportunities—246,000 people search for “plumbers near me” in the U.S. every month.
But that’s far from the only search term getting traffic.
Countless people search for standard and urgent plumbing-related terms monthly:
Emergency plumber: 27,100 monthly searches
Plumbing companies near me: 27,000 monthly searches
Best plumbers near me: 9,900 monthly searches
24 hour plumber: 4,400 monthly searches
When your website ranks at the top of Google for these terms, you’re essentially setting up a 24/7 lead generation system.
6 Essential Plumber SEO Strategies
Ready to outrank your competitors and capture more high-value plumbing leads?
These six SEO strategies work together to boost your search visibility. And convert website visitors into paying customers.
1. Keyword Research
The first step of any plumber SEO campaign is keyword research.
This involves identifying relevant keywords based on key metrics like search intent, volume, and keyword difficulty. And conducting research into your competitors’ keyword strategies.
Understand Keyword Metrics
A tool like Semrush’s Keyword Magic Tool is helpful for conducting keyword research.
Enter a seed keyword like “plumbing company” into the Keyword Magic Tool.
You’ll see a list of keyword ideas and some important information about each term.
This includes “Intent.”
Search intent is the reason behind a user’s search—it tells you why they searched and what they were hoping to find.
There are four types of search intent.
Including:
Informational: These are searches where people want to learn something, like “how to fix a clogged toilet.” This type of content works best as detailed guides and tutorials.
Navigational: When searchers are looking for a specific plumbing business or page like “Jerry’s Plumbing Company” or “Plumbing Pros hours of operation”
Commercial: The person wants to know more about a product or business, such as “best plumbers in Austin” and “sink repair.” Use these in product comparison articles, testimonials, and service pages.
Transactional: The person is ready to hire and might search “hire a plumber” or “call a plumber.” Use strategic calls to action (CTA) and keywords like “hire” and “book now” on your site.
This means the user’s goal for this search is to research plumbing company options, read reviews, and view services, making it a good term to target on a service page.
But if someone searches “how to fix a leaky faucet,” (which has informational intent), they expect to find detailed DIY instructions with photos or videos.
See the difference?
Next, let’s look at two other crucial metrics:
Volume: The number of monthly searches for a keyword
Keyword Difficulty (KD): A rating showing how hard it is to rank for that keyword from zero to 100
While you’ll likely have broad keywords on most pages, if you have a newer site (or one that lacks authority), you’ll also want to target terms that’ll be easier to rank for in the SERPs.
Local keywords often have this perfect combination—moderate search volume with lower competition in specific service areas.
For example, “plumbing companies in phoenix, arizona” gets 70 searches per month and has a low keyword difficulty score of 27.
You might use this term on a location page to target local customers.
Continue researching keywords to target on each page of your site—making sure to adjust your focus for each page’s specific purpose:
Service pages should target specific plumbing solutions: Water heater repair, drain cleaning, radiator installation
Location pages need geographic terms: Local plumbing company, plumber in [city], 24/7 plumbers in [city]
About pages should emphasize trust and credentials: Licensed plumber, family-owned plumbing, plumbing company hours
Resource pages should answer common questions and concerns: How to fix a leaky faucet, signs you need repiping, water heater maintenance tips
Answer User Questions
Your target audience likely has a lot of questions about plumbing problems and hiring a plumber.
These questions make great topics for FAQ pages and blog posts.
Here’s how to find them using the Keyword Magic Tool:
Search for a broad keyword like “drain repair” and apply the “Questions” filter.
The tool will return options like:
How to repair tub drain: 320 volume; 29 KD
How to repair shower drain: 210 volume; 30 KD
How to repair a leaking shower drain: 170 volume; 23 KD
All of the above topics have informational intent, which means they’d work well as step-by-step tutorials on your blog.
Plus, answering these questions with high-quality content will help you establish expertise.
As you review the questions, pay attention to volume and KD scores—the lower the KD, the easier it’ll be for you to rank for each term.
Research Competitor Keywords
You don’t have to start from scratch when finding keywords—analyze what’s already working for your successful competitors.
A tool like Semrush’s Keyword Gap can help you with this.
First, enter your URL and up to four competitors’ URLs. Hit “Compare.”
Now, you’ll see an overview of your site’s keyword performance compared to your competitors.
Including how many ranking keywords you and each of your rivals have.
As you review the reports, pay special attention to three key opportunities:
Missing: Keywords your competitors rank for but you don’t
Weak: Keywords where competitors outrank you
Untapped: Keywords where at least one competitor ranks
These are opportunities to target these keywords on existing pages.
And create new content to knock your competitors off the SERPs.
If they have a blog post on how to clear a clogged drain, create a better version with step-by-step photos and videos.
If they list services, include pricing guides and customer case studies.
Aim to outrank them with higher-quality content that diverts traffic away from their site to yours.
Because when someone conducts a search with local intent, such as “plumber near me” or “plumber in [city],” Google shows three local businesses at the top of the page.
This is the 3-Pack I mentioned earlier in the article—and it’s prime real estate for plumbers.
Add your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) to your profile.
Double-check that you’ve entered everything correctly.
Accurate NAPs show Google your business is trustworthy, which helps increase your chances of ranking in the Map Pack.
Next, create a keyword-rich business description that includes important terms for your business.
This will be the services you offer and any standout features like “local plumbing business” or “emergency plumbing repair.”
For example, Maloney Plumbing and Drain Services included key terms like “plumbing repair” and “drain clearing” in their company overview.
They also referenced the location they serve: “Phoenix.”
Add as many relevant service categories as possible—from sewer cleaning to garbage disposal installation.
The photos section isn’t just about showing you exist.
Your images should build trust and show potential customers exactly what to expect:
Uniformed technicians (shows professionalism)
Branded trucks (proves you’re established)
Actual repair work (demonstrates expertise)
Team in action (builds credibility)
Finally, post updates.
This shows searchers and Google that you’re an active business with up-to-date information.
But it also lets you share vital details, communicate with customers, and highlight promotions and events.
With your GBP filled out, it’s time to focus on earning positive reviews—lots of them.
Collect and Manage Online Reviews
Reviews matter more than you may realize.
Seventy-one percent of consumers will not consider using a business if it has an average review rating below three stars.
Google also states that one of the three ranking factors for local search is “prominence,” which is defined by how popular a business is online and offline.
(Prominence includes review count and average review rating.)
So, how do you get more positive reviews?
You ask for them.
Most importantly, you make it easy for past clients to leave reviews.
For example, Total Service Plumbing created a dedicated review page on their website that links to each of their location’s Google Business Profiles.
Smart.
While having a page on your website is helpful, you’ll want to take a multi-pronged approach to collecting reviews.
For example:
Send a follow-up text right after completing a service
Include a review link in your invoice emails
Create QR codes on your business cards and service vehicles
Train your technicians to ask satisfied customers for reviews
Pro tip: Use a tool like Semrush’s Review Management to make it easy to track and reply to all your reviews (even negative ones) from your Google Business Profile and other directories. This shows you value customer feedback and want to improve your services.
Build Local Citations
A local citation is any mention of your business on the internet.
This includes your basic contact details, like your NAP.
Think Yelp, Angi, and Porch.com.
The key? Keep your information consistent everywhere.
Consistent business information tells search engines your business is legitimate and trustworthy.
But manually searching and verifying your citations is not a productive use of your time (or your team’s).
Use a tool like Semrush’s Listing Management tool to automate this process.
Listing Management automatically checks for issues like missing phone numbers and incorrect addresses and updates them for you.
This makes it easy to maintain updated and accurate listings across multiple directories and keep your local SEO on point.
3. On-Page SEO
On-page SEO is the practice of improving webpage elements so your website ranks higher in SERPs and earns more relevant traffic.
Here’s how to optimize your plumbing site.
Use Your Target Keyword in the Right Places
Every webpage has specific spots where keywords make the biggest impact.
This includes the following elements:
Title tag: This is the title that shows up in search results. Limit this to 50-60 characters and include the target keyword as close to the front as possible.
Meta description: This is the summary that appears under the title tag in search results. Include the target keyword and keep it under 155 characters.
Pro tip: SEO plugins like RankMath and Yoast SEO make it fast and easy to customize title tags and meta descriptions on your site. The plugins will also alert you when you’ve forgotten to add metadata, helping ensure you keep up with on-page optimization.
You’ll also want to add your target keyword to the H1 (aka the headline) of each page.
For example, plumbing company Benjamin Franklin uses the keyword “Residential Leak Detection Services” on its H1 for one of its service pages.
H1s tell Google and readers what your page is about.
Pro tip: Every service page needs a unique H1—aka, don’t use “Plumbing Services” on multiple pages.
Use subheads (H2, H3, H4) to organize your content. Include keyword variations in them naturally.
For example, Benjamin Franklin uses “The Types of Plumbing Leaks We Repair” as an H2 and has “Common Signs of Plumbing Leaks” underneath as an H3.
You’ll also want to add descriptive alt text to your images.
This helps Google understand what your images show and ensures your site is accessible for those using screen readers.
For example, alt text for this image could be: “Professional plumber in uniform inspecting under-sink plumbing while showing digital tablet to homeowner in kitchen.”
Enter the URL of the webpage and click “Start Tagging.”
This takes you to the webpage where you highlight or tag the content needed for the code.
Once you’re done tagging the page, click “Create HTML.”
Copy the script block and paste it to the head section of your webpage’s HTML.
Too technical for you?
Hire a developer or tech-savvy friend to help you with this step.
It’s worth the hassle, as it can help your plumbing business stand out in the SERPs.
Analyze Current Pages for On-Page SEO Opportunities
As you add more pages to your site and blog, you’ll want to make sure you’ve properly implemented on-page optimization.
Semrush’s On Page SEO Checker can help you with this—it automates the process, so you don’t have to check each page manually.
Enter your URL and click “Get ideas.”
Click the “View all pages & ideas” to view the full list of pages it found to optimize.
Click the blue “Ideas” button for any page to view the suggestions.
For example, you’ll see recommendations like avoiding keyword stuffing in content, creating more informative contentm, and providing more relevant meta descriptions.
It’ll also give you tips on how to score featured snippets for certain keywords.
Make the necessary changes to help give your site a boost in the SERPs.
It can also drive long-term results and steady organic traffic over time.
Let’s look at how you can use content marketing to attract leads and instill confidence in prospective customers.
Answer Questions in Your Blog Posts
People who have a clogged toilet might not want to hire a plumber right away.
They might first try to fix the problem themselves—this is when they try to find answers online.
As a plumber, you’re in the best position to teach them how to unclog a toilet.
Like Benjamin Franklin did on its blog:
With step-by-step instructions, Benjamin Franklin gives its target customers the information they need to handle the job themselves.
But they also include hiring a pro as an option to encourage those who don’t want to DIY to give them a call.
Nice.
Sounds simple enough, right?
Well, you’ll be competing in the SERPs with countless other plumbers who are targeting the same keywords for the same topics.
So, how do you stand out?
By following Google’s quality guidelines for content: experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).
Here’s how:
Prove your expertise. Include an author bio at the end of your content and highlight your experience as a plumber, including any certifications, years of experience, education, and more
Include step-by-step photos and videos: Guide your readers through each step with high-quality photos and videos that show you know your stuff
Add expert insights and quotes: Share firsthand tips that showcase your experience and include quotes from SMEs on your team to infuse your content with more authority and trust
Create Location and Service Pages
Location and service pages are exactly what they sound like.
They’re dedicated webpages for every service and location of your business.
If you have 10 different plumbing services, you need to create 10 separate pages describing each service.
For example, Jimmy Joe’s Plumbing has a separate page for everything from backflow prevention to home remodeling plumbing.
If you have multiple locations, you’ll also want to create dedicated pages for each one.
Like John the Plumber did in Florida.
Its site has pages for each location with city-specific content on each one.
Pro tip: Create unique content for each location page—don’t copy/paste. Duplicate content is a big no-no in SEO and can negatively impact your rankings.
Include Semantic Keywords in Your Content
Semantic keywords are keywords that are related to your target keywords.
It’s important to add semantic keywords to your content because it helps Google understand the context of your content.
You can use keyword research tools to find related keywords based on a seed keyword.
But you can also type a word in Google and view the People Also Ask section.
For example, typing in “heater installation” reveals semantic and question keywords you can target in content.
5. Technical SEO
Technical SEO is the process of improving your website’s technical aspects.
In other words, it needs to be fast, mobile-friendly, and secure.
But if you’re not a technical person, don’t worry.
I’ll teach you how to run an audit and check your site’s speed with user-friendly tools.
Run an SEO Audit
An audit can identify issues with your site, particularly page errors that affect your site’s performance and health.
For instance, broken links and pages can damage your website’s ranking and authority.
For example, Semrush’s Site Audit tool lets you audit up to 100 pages per month on Semrush’s free plan.
Enter your website’s URL and click “Start Audit.”
You’ll get an email when the report is ready.
The tool will provide an overview of your site’s performance.
This includes everything from a site health score to categorizing site issues by severity: Errors (high), Warnings (medium), and Notices (low).
Click on the “Issues” tab to learn how you can improve your site’s pages.
Some common errors you might see include:
Keyword cannibalization: When multiple pages have the same or similar target keywords and the same search intent
Keyword stuffing: When target keywords are used excessively on the page
Thin content: The content doesn’t have any (or little) value to readers and doesn’t meet search intent
Improve Loading Speed
If it takes your site longer than three seconds to load, 53% of visitors will abandon it, according to Google Consumer Insights.
So, if you have a slow site, it could be causing you to lose valuable plumbing leads.
Use a free web speed analysis tool like GTMetrix to check your site’s loading speed.
Enter your website’s URL and click “Test Now.”
After the analysis, you’ll get a grade, which tells you how well your site is performing, along with an overview of Core Web Vitals metrics.
Core Web Vitals measure the speed, interactivity, and visual stability of your site.
Scroll to the “Top Issues” section to learn what your site’s errors are and how to fix them.
Prioritizing technical SEO helps ensure your site delivers the fast and intuitive experience users expect.
6. Link Building
Link building is the process of getting other sites to link to a page on your website.
These links, called backlinks, play a big role in your site’s search ranking.
Here’s how to build your backlink profile, starting with a little competitor research.
Spy on Your Competitors’ Backlink Profiles
Use Semrush’s Backlink Analytics tool to learn valuable information about your competitors’ backlink profiles.
This includes the total number of referring domains and backlinks they receive and their authority score.
View the “Referring Domains” report to see who is linking to your competitors.
(So you can try to get them to link to you, too.)
Some referring domains might be directories you can add your business information to, and others may be sites you can try to guest post on.
Find and Reach Out to High-Quality Link Prospects for Guest Posting
Think about plumbing-related content that a website within your industry might be interested in.
Some examples of websites that might feature plumbers include:
Home improvement blogs
Real estate blogs
Home insurance blogs
Here’s an example of a guest blog from Precision Air & Plumbing for a home insurance website.
Finding websites that publish plumbing-related content can take time.
One way to speed things up is to use a tool like Semrush’s Link Building Tool.
Enter your URL and click “Start Link Building.”
Add your keywords, like “plumber in chicago” and “emergency plumber chicago” and click “Keywords” on the bottom.
This brings you to the next page, where you can add competitors.
Click “Start Link Building.”
Click “View prospects” on the pop-up.
Sort the list by highest AS (Authority Score).
This shows you the most reputable websites on this list.
Use your judgment to choose websites that are likely to accept guest posts.
Click on the icon to open the link to see plumbing-related content that’s published on the prospect’s website.
In this example, we clicked on wikiHow’s link and learned that the co-author is a professional plumber.
This points out an opportunity to reach out to major sites and offer your expert input for articles.
This can be a great way to build backlinks for your site while highlighting you as an industry expert.
Make a list of prospects and pitch topics that match what the sites publish and are relevant to your target audience.
While not all sites will provide backlinks, it’s still a valuable way to get your name—and your plumbing business’s name—some positive press mentions online.
Once done, Google will no longer consider these links when ranking your site or pages.
Get More Customers with Plumber SEO
SEO isn’t a quick fix.
But it’s one of the most effective ways to get new plumbing customers.
With a bit of research and help from tools like Semrush, you can flood your business with high-quality leads (without spending a fortune on ads).
I’m talking crushing your local competition in Google Maps, ranking #1 for emergency plumbing keywords, and turning your website into a 24/7 lead generation machine.
