Overview
Phast Rooter & Plumbing, a regional plumbing service provider, partnered with Gibbon Creative Group to elevate their online presence through on-page SEO, a UX audit, and a complete website redesign. The project aimed to improve local search visibility, streamline user journeys for service inquiries, and showcase Phast Rooter’s reliability and customer-first approach.
Challenge
Phast Rooter faced several challenges in effectively communicating their value and converting website visitors into customers:
Low visibility in local search results for key service queries across Google
Phast Rooter's paid ads specialist needed a significantly better looking and functioning website to run effective campaigns
Noticeably low conversion rates after users visited their old website through Yelp page
Needed a place to preserve and highlight reviews that normally got removed on Yelp over time
A fragmented user experience across pages that confused visitors seeking urgent plumbing help
Difficulty communicating core service areas, pricing clarity, and service guarantees
An outdated, non-responsive site that performed poorly on mobile and desktop
Inconsistent branding and messaging across SEO elements, UX, and content
Goal
The primary objectives for this project were to:
Improve local search visibility and organic traffic through on-page SEO optimization
Deliver a modern, family-friendly, and user-friendly website that highlights Phast Rooter’s expertise, rapid response capabilities, and operation locations to stand out from typically outdated and corporate-style plumbing websites
Create a cohesive brand experience across SEO, content, and design
Simplify the inquiry process to increase conversion rates for service requests and appointments
Establish credible trust signals (reviews, service guarantees, certifications) throughout the site
Solution
To address the challenges and meet the project goals, we implemented the following solutions:
On-page SEO optimization: Performed comprehensive keyword research, optimized meta descriptions, header hierarchy, and service-area pages to boost local rankings and click-through rates.
UX audit and redesign: Conducted a structured UX review and redesigned the site architecture for intuitive navigation, faster load times, and mobile-first responsiveness.
Brand-consistent design system: Built a cohesive visual identity with clear typography, color, and iconography aligned to Phast Rooter’s branding, improving recognition and trust.
Service-focused content strategy: Created clear, benefit-driven service pages (emergency repair, drain cleaning, water heater installation, sewer line services, etc.) with service guarantees and call-to-action prompts.
Conversion-focused inquiries: Implemented streamlined contact workflows
Other enhancements: Upgraded website with important visuals, individual service pages, a blogging strategy, and customer success stories with keywords relevant to Phast Rooter's industry to boost SEO performance and convey a brand image of a "friendly-neighborhood" vibe
Results
The Phast Rooter & Plumbing website redesign and SEO initiatives delivered measurable outcomes:
Removed major marketing blocker: Enabled Phast Rooter's paid ads specialist to run ads with a significantly more aesthetic and functional website
Increased local visibility: Notable gains in local search rankings for core plumbing service terms and service-area pages.
