It's not that SEO doesn't work for plumbing. It's that most agencies don't understand 24/7 service businesses.

Why I'm Different
I'm Hunter. I own Lapeyre Roofing, a real trades company serving Texas and Louisiana. Real crews. Real trucks. Real customers.
I spent tens of thousands of dollars on SEO agencies. They made me feel like a number. So I built my own system.

Why Generic SEO Doesn't Work for Plumbing Companies
Most SEO agencies treat plumbers like any other local business. But plumbing has unique challenges that require specialized knowledge:
24/7 Emergency Search Intent
Pipes don't burst 9-5. You need to rank for emergency searches at 2am when the competition isn't paying attention.
In-Home Trust Factor
Homeowners are letting a stranger into their house. Reviews, photos, and credentials matter more than any other industry.
Service-Specific Keywords
Drain cleaning, sewer line repair, water heater installation - each service needs its own keyword strategy.
Multi-Location Complexity
Most plumbers serve 10+ cities. Each service area needs optimized content without creating duplicate pages.
