Just a dream of creating a trustworthy, hometown plumbing company that Cartersville could rely on. Fast forward to today, and Thompson Plumbing is a multi-truck operation with a strong digital footprint, loyal customer base, and a growing team of professionals serving Northwest Georgia.

Local SEO & Lead Generation Strategy
Building From the Ground Up
We began with the basics — building a fast, mobile-friendly, and SEO-optimized website and Google Business Profile. Emphasis was placed on local search intent, service area pages, and weekly posts to the GBP.
Launching Immediate Lead Flow
To drive immediate results, we implemented:
- Google Ads
- HomeAdvisor lead generation
This provided instant call volume while the organic SEO foundation was still taking root.
Authority & Reputation Building
We then focused on:
- Building hyper-local citations through platforms like the BBB, Chamber of Commerce, and Nextdoor
- Implementing a press release strategy to secure local backlinks
- Encouraging consistent Google review generation from satisfied customers
This blend of local SEO, reputation management, and link building helped the website build authority quickly.
