Automation & CRM

Marketing Automation & CRM for Plumbers in Adelaide

Emergency callouts, back-to-back jobs, and a phone that never stops ringing. We set up automation that handles your leads, follow-ups, and review requests so nothing falls through the cracks — even when you're under a house fixing burst pipes.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

Plumbing is one of the most demanding trades for customer communication. Emergency callouts interrupt scheduled work, new enquiries come in while you're elbow-deep in a blocked drain, and by the time you surface, five potential customers have called someone else. You need a system that works as hard as you do.

Emergency Work Means Missed New Enquiries

You're under a house dealing with a burst pipe when three new enquiries come in — a bathroom reno quote, a hot water replacement, and a blocked drain. You can't answer any of them. By the time the emergency is sorted, two of those leads have already booked someone else. Your emergency work costs you planned work.

Quotes Sent and Forgotten

You send a bathroom renovation quote on Monday, then spend the next four days on callouts across Adelaide. By Friday, you've completely forgotten to follow up. The homeowner assumed you weren't interested and went with the plumber who sent a follow-up text on Wednesday. Thousands of dollars in work, lost to admin oversight.

Hot Water System Replacements Are Predictable — But You Don't Track Them

You installed a gas hot water system five years ago. It's got another five years before it needs replacing. But you have no system to remind that customer when the time comes. They'll Google 'hot water system replacement' instead of calling you, because you never stayed in touch.

Reviews Happen by Accident, Not by Design

Occasionally a happy customer leaves a Google review unprompted. But you have no systematic process for asking, and you feel awkward bringing it up at the door. Your competitor with 120 reviews dominates the Google Map Pack while you're stuck at 25. The review gap is costing you ranking and trust.

The Solution

How we help

We build a marketing automation and CRM system that manages your leads, follow-ups, reviews, and customer relationships — running 24/7 so you can focus on the plumbing.

01

Instant Lead Capture and Response

Every new enquiry — website form, phone call, Facebook message — gets an immediate automated response. The customer receives a text and email within seconds confirming their enquiry, asking about urgency, and setting expectations for when you'll call back. For emergency enquiries, the system flags them as high priority so you can triage on the go.

02

Quote Follow-Up Sequences

When you send a quote for a bathroom renovation or hot water replacement, the system automatically follows up at the right intervals. A friendly check-in after 48 hours, a second touch at five days, and a final message at ten days. Written in your natural tone, these follow-ups recover jobs that would otherwise be lost to silence.

03

Automatic Review Generation

After every completed job, the system waits the right amount of time and then sends a personalised review request with a direct link to your Google Business Profile. For emergency callouts, the request goes out same day while the relief is fresh. For renovations, it's timed for after the final inspection. Your review count grows on autopilot.

04

Service Reminder Automation

We set up lifecycle reminders based on what you installed — hot water system age tracking, annual backflow testing reminders for commercial clients, and seasonal maintenance nudges for property managers. Past customers hear from you at exactly the right time, turning one-off jobs into ongoing relationships and repeat revenue.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does marketing automation cost for plumbers?+
Our marketing automation setup for plumbers starts from $1,500 for initial configuration, plus $297/month for ongoing management. This includes CRM setup, lead response automation, quote follow-up sequences, review collection, and service reminders. Most plumbers see a return within the first month through recovered quotes and increased repeat bookings alone.
Can it handle both emergency and planned work differently?+
Yes. We set up separate workflows for different job types. Emergency callouts get flagged as urgent with immediate triage. Planned work like bathroom renovations gets a structured quoting and follow-up sequence. Commercial clients like property managers get customised communication flows for ongoing maintenance. Each workflow matches how that type of work actually operates.
Will customers know the messages are automated?+
No. We write all messages in your natural voice and tone. They read like personal texts and emails from you or your team. Customers consistently respond to automated messages as if they were sent manually. You can also jump into any conversation at any time to take over personally when needed.
How does this integrate with my current booking system?+
We integrate with the most common plumbing business tools — ServiceM8, Tradify, Fergus, and others. If you're using a manual system (spreadsheets, notebooks, or just your phone), we'll set up a proper CRM and migrate your existing customer data. The goal is one central system for all your customer communication.
How long does setup take?+
A typical plumbing automation setup takes two to three weeks. This covers CRM configuration, tool integrations, writing all automated messages, setting up workflows for different job types, testing, and training you on the system. We handle everything — you just need to review the message templates and approve the flows.
