Emergency calls aren't routed clearly above the fold.

Drain, water heater, leak repair all share one weak page.

Your site doesn't build urgency or trust fast enough.

05Mobile

Phone number isn't easy to tap on mobile.

Service pages are 200 words and stock photos.

Reviews and licensing live two clicks deep.

How homeowners actually choose

Plumbing customers are usually standing in water.

In their head, in their hands.

A leak, a clog, a heater that's done. They want a real local plumber, fast. not a Yelp scroll. Your site has seconds to prove you'll pick up, you'll show up, and you won't gouge them.

What they feelPanicked, often after-hours, calculating ceiling damage.
What they needA phone number, a license number, an ETA, and a clear price range.
What loses themSlow mobile, no reviews, generic ‘we do it all’ copy, hidden phone.
What gets the callEmergency language, response-time promise, photo of a real plumber.
What earns trustLicensed master plumber, insured, BBB, dated reviews, after-hours mention.
Urgency windowMinutes. A leak doesn't pause while they read your About page.

The BurksUP solution

We rebuild around the waycustomers actually choose.

Four pillars

They sound simple. They're not.

Pillar 01

Build trust fast

Homeowners decide who to call in under a minute. The site has to prove license, insurance, reviews, and a local face before they scroll.

plumbing exampleLicensed master plumber + 24/7 response promise in the hero, not the footer.
Pillar 02

Make calling easy

If the phone number isn't a one-tap on mobile, you've already lost. We treat the call as the primary CTA and design the whole flow around it.

plumbing exampleTap-to-call in the sticky bar, the nav, the hero, every service page. After-hours number visible 24/7.
Pillar 03

Explain services clearly

One thin page covering every service kills both conversion and SEO. We build a real page per high-intent service. with FAQs, photos, and schema.

plumbing exampleEmergency Plumbing · Drain Cleaning · Water Heater Repair · Water Heater Installation. each as its own page, indexable, internally linked, and built to convert.
Pillar 04

Capture leads before they leave

Most visitors aren't ready to call right now. We capture the close-but-not-yet ones with smart forms, lead magnets, and follow-up automations.

plumbing exampleTwo-step form: zip + problem type first, contact second. SMS follow-up for after-hours leads.

What we build

The full stack.Not just a pretty homepage.

Twelve things, baked in

A real business asset for your plumbing company. Everything below ships in the starting scope.

01

Conversion-focused homepage

Trust + offer + call path in the first scroll. Built around how a homeowner actually scans on mobile.

02

Mobile-first design

Designed mobile-first because that's where the call comes from. Desktop scales up cleanly, not the other way around.

03

Clear service pages

Every high-intent service. emergency plumbing, drain cleaning, water heater repair, and more. gets its own real page.

04

Click-to-call buttons

Tap-to-call in the sticky bar, the nav, the hero, every service page, and the footer. Never more than one tap.

05

Smart contact forms

Two-step forms. Zip + problem first. Contact details only after they've leaned in. Cuts abandonment by half.

06

Review + trust sections

Real reviews with dates, license numbers, insurance, certifications. The signals that move a hesitant homeowner.

07

Service area structure

Real pages for Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park and more. each with a local angle, not the same paragraph reused.

08

On-page SEO baked in

Page structure, schema markup, FAQ schema, internal linking, fast mobile loads. The foundation SEO compounds on.

09

Tracking + tagging

Form tracking, call tracking, Google Tag. So you actually know which marketing is paying off.

10

Optional automations

SMS follow-up, missed-call text-back, nurture sequences. Optional. We don't push what you don't need.

11

Speed & performance

Real Core Web Vitals work. image weight, font loading, JS pruning. Mobile load under 2 seconds.

12

Care plan after launch

Optional monthly care plan for hosting, monitoring, content updates. Skip it if you don't need it.

SEO architecture

A website is not one page.It's a local growth foundation.

Hub & spoke

Homepage builds trust. Service pages capture intent. Service-area pages support local visibility. Every page does one job, well.

One hub.
Many spokes.

How it works

Audit. Map. Launch.No bloated agency pitch.

Three steps

01

Speed, SEO basics, mobile UX, conversion leaks, trust signals, missed opportunities. You get a scored report with the top plumbing-specific fixes. and a preview of what a rebuild looks like.

02

We map the rebuild

We identify what to change to make the site more useful for homeowners and stronger for search. Clear scope, clear timeline, no surprise line items.

03

You launch with clear pricing

Plans start at $1,497 build + $79/mo. You see the rebuild before you commit to the full price. See it first. Pay when it's right.

No guessing. No bloated agency pitch. Clear next steps.

Pricing

Launch a better plumbing website from $1,497 build + $79/mo

Most custom plumbing sites either cost too much upfront or lock you into a vague retainer before anyone proves they understand the business. BurksUP keeps it clear: a one-time build plus a simple monthly plan that keeps it working. We rebuild your site around the way homeowners actually pick who to call.

Why this works

From $1,497 build + $79/mo, this is for business owners who are done treating their website like an online brochure and want it rebuilt as a real sales asset. A smarter investment than another generic agency redesign.

Objections, handled

Most plumbing owners have heard every pitch.

The honest answers. no spin, no overselling. If we can't help, we'll say so.

01

I already have a website.

Most of our clients did. The website was the problem. We rebuild around what actually moves the needle for home service businesses. clarity, trust, mobile UX, conversion path.

02

I don't know if a new website will actually help.

Fair. That's why we start with a free audit. You see the leaks, the missed opportunities, and a preview of what the rebuild looks like. before you decide anything.

03

I've been burned by agencies before.

Same story we hear every week. Big retainer, slow process, ‘brand strategy’ that didn't make the phone ring. We keep the scope tight, the pricing clear, and we don't pretend the goal is anything other than more booked jobs.

04

I don't want a monthly contract right away.

The build is a one-time scope. A simple monthly plan from $79/mo keeps the site fast, updated, and chasing every lead, that's the part that compounds. See the tiers on the pricing page.

05

I don't have time for a big website project.

We do the heavy lifting. Most owners spend 2–4 hours total across the project. a kickoff call, a content review, a launch sign-off. We handle the rest.

06

I get most of my work from referrals.

Good. That's a great foundation. A real website turns those referrals into faster decisions. and shows up when the referral's spouse, neighbor, or property manager goes looking online to confirm you're real.

07

I tried SEO before and it didn't work.

Most SEO fails because the site underneath it is broken. Thin pages, no structure, slow mobile, no trust signals. We rebuild that foundation first. Then SEO has something to compound on.

FAQ

Questions every plumbing owner asks.

The short answers below. Anything specific. just ask on the call.

plumbing specific

  • (Q1)

    Who is this for?

    Home service contractors. HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, remodeling, landscaping, junk removal. Businesses where the phone needs to ring and the calendar needs to stay booked.

    If you’re good at what you do but your website doesn’t show it, this is built for you.

  • (Q2)

    Who is this not for?

    Brand new businesses with no customers yet, and anyone shopping for the cheapest option. There are plenty of $500 template sites out there if that’s the goal.

    I work with contractors who already have a real business and want a site that pulls its weight. If you’re not sure where you land, start with the free audit. It costs nothing and you’ll know.

  • (Q3)

    How much does this cost?

    Most contractors start at $3,997 for the build, plus $299 a month.

    The build gets you the full website. The monthly covers hosting, security, updates, and the systems that turn visitors into booked jobs, including missed-call text back and a simple CRM so no lead falls through the cracks.

    Some projects need more, some need less. Book a free audit and I’ll give you a straight number for your situation.

  • (Q4)

    That’s more than other quotes I’ve gotten. Why?

    Because we’re not building the same thing.

    A cheap site is a brochure. It sits there. What I build is a booking system: fast pages, clear calls to action, automatic text back when you miss a call, and follow-up that keeps leads from going cold.

    One example: Lamont at Mr. C’s Chimney in Billings booked 4 jobs through his new site in the first month, and missed-call text back saved 2 more calls that would have gone to a competitor. The site paid for itself in month one.

    That’s the difference you’re paying for. A cheap site that books nothing is the most expensive site you can buy.

  • (Q5)

    I already have a website. Can’t I just update it instead of rebuilding?

    Sometimes, and the audit will tell you honestly. But here’s the usual problem: most contractor sites weren’t built to book jobs in the first place. They were built to exist. Patching a site like that is like remodeling a house with a cracked foundation. You spend money and still have the same problem.

    If your site can be fixed with small changes, I’ll tell you that in the audit. If it can’t, I’ll show you exactly why.

  • (Q6)

    I get most of my work from referrals. Why do I need this?

    Referrals are the best leads you’ll ever get. But here’s what happens with every single one: they hear your name, then they look you up before they call.

    If your site looks outdated or broken, some of those referrals quietly move on and you never know it happened. Your website’s first job is to not lose the work your reputation already earned. Its second job is to bring in new work on top of it.

  • (Q7)

    Why not just use Wix or GoDaddy and do it myself for $20 a month?

    You can, and for a hobby that’s fine. But a DIY builder gives you a page, not a system. No missed-call text back. No lead follow-up. No one making sure it loads fast and shows up right on a phone.

    And your time isn’t free. Every hour you spend fighting a website builder is an hour you’re not quoting jobs or running crews. Free hosting isn’t free. It’s deferred risk.

General questions

  • (Q1)

    I’ve been burned by a web guy before. Why should I trust you?

    Fair. Most contractors I talk to have a story like that. A site that never launched, a designer who disappeared, a monthly bill for nothing.

    Here’s what’s different: you deal with me directly, start to finish. No account managers, no handoffs. You’ll know the timeline before we start, you’ll get updates as we go, and you’ll see the site before it launches. And the audit comes first, free, so you can judge how I work before you spend a dollar.

  • (Q2)

    Am I locked into a contract?

    The build is a one-time project with a clear scope and price. The monthly plan continues month to month after that. If it’s not earning its keep, you can walk. My job is to make sure it’s obviously worth keeping.

  • (Q3)

    What exactly does the monthly plan do? I’ve paid for “maintenance” before and got nothing.

    That’s a real problem in this industry, so here’s the plain list. Your monthly covers:

    • Hosting, security, and backups so the site never goes down or gets hacked
    • Ongoing updates so it stays fast and current
    • Missed-call text back, so a missed call gets an instant text instead of calling your competitor
    • A simple CRM that tracks every lead so nothing slips
    • Fast follow-up automations that reach leads while they’re still interested

    It’s not maintenance. It’s the machinery that turns your site from a brochure into a booking system. You’ll see it working.

  • (Q4)

    Do I own my website?

    Yes. It’s your site, your domain, your content. If we ever part ways, it goes with you. I’m not holding your website hostage. That practice is one of the reasons contractors don’t trust web designers, and I want no part of it.

  • (Q5)

    How long does this take? I’m in my busy season.

    Most builds go live in 3 to 4 days, worst case within 7 days after onboarding. Sometimes next day, because we usually have most of your site built before we even get on a call. I only need a few hours of your time total, mostly sending logins and assets at the start.

    And honestly, busy season is the best time to do this. That’s when the most people are searching for your services and landing on your current site. Every week it stays weak is your highest-traffic week going to waste.

  • (Q6)

    Do you guarantee results?

    Here’s the honest version. I guarantee the work: a fast site that looks right on any device and is built to turn visitors into calls and bookings. Every project ships to that standard.

    What I won’t guarantee is a specific number of leads, because anyone who promises that is guessing with your money. What I can show you is what’s happened for real clients, like Lamont covering his entire redesign cost in the first month. Real results, no magic promises.

  • (Q7)

    How do we start?

    Book a free audit. I’ll go through your current site, show you specifically what’s costing you trust and calls, and tell you what I’d fix. No pressure, no pitch deck. If it makes sense to work together, we’ll talk next steps. If not, you still walk away knowing exactly what’s wrong.
