What Do Most Plumber Landing Pages Get Wrong?

James Dickerson says most of the plumber landing pages he checked failed the click that Google ads had just paid for. He used Dallas as the example and looked at companies rated 4.8 or 4.9 on Google, with enough reviews to count as sizable businesses that do good work. All of them were paying for Google ads the week he analyzed them. Four out of five did not repeat the ad's own promise on the landing page. The move he describes is keeping the ad and the page congruent, so the visitor still gets the message from the ad they clicked. That match is what helps the conversion rate.

Three of the five also left the Google rating off the page. Hundreds or thousands of reviews at 4.8 or 4.9 are a large proof point, and the pages skipped it. Four out of five sites made a visitor scroll past three screens before booking a service. The work and the reviews were already there. The pages still dropped the ad's promise and hid the way to book.
