Apollo Plumbing: rebuilding the website for a Bay Area plumbing company

Apollo Plumbing Services is a family-owned, licensed plumbing company that does everything from leaking toilets to process piping for labs and manufacturers. Apollo already had a website. The job was to rebuild it so both kinds of customer find their side fast, and so Google can read it properly.

The job

A homeowner with a clogged drain and a facilities manager who needs high purity piping for a cleanroom are both Apollo customers, but they want completely different pages. Mixing them means the homeowner wades through industrial jargon and the commercial buyer thinks Apollo only fixes toilets.

So the rebuilt homepage asks one question right away: residential or commercial. Each side has its own page with its own services.

A commercial page that speaks to facilities

The commercial page covers process piping, high purity piping for labs, cleanrooms, semiconductor and food-grade environments, preventative maintenance programs, commercial water heater systems and code compliance, plus the industries Apollo serves.

That is the work with bigger tickets and repeat contracts, and it now has a page a facilities manager can send to their boss.

Proof in two forms: real jobs and real brands

The homepage shows photos of Apollo's own jobs and the brands they install and service every day: Kohler, Delta, Moen, American Standard, Fluidmaster, Rheem, Bradford White, InSinkErator and Badger.

On a phone, a call now bar with the number stays pinned to the bottom of the screen, so calling is always one tap away.

Set up to be found on Google

A rebuild is the right time to fix how Google sees a site. This rebuild included my Search Visibility Setup.

  • Google Search ConsoleVerified, with a sitemap of all 3 pages submitted and read by Google. This is how we see what people search to find the site and catch problems early.
  • Structured dataThe business type in a format Google can read directly.
  • One address per pageEvery page tells Google its one correct address, and the old or duplicate versions redirect to it. No duplicate copies competing with each other.
  • Bing Webmaster ToolsSet up, so the site is tracked in Bing too, which also feeds Yahoo and DuckDuckGo results.
  • Google AnalyticsInstalled on every page, so the owner can see where visitors come from.

Who this kind of rebuild is for

A business that already has a website, but the site does not match how the business actually makes money. If you serve two very different kinds of customer, they should not have to share one page.
