Plumbing marketing that keeps your techs' boards booked solid.
We build the plumber lead generation engine that turns emergency searches, water heater replacements, and sewer jobs into a full dispatch board, run it for you, and hand you the keys. No more racing four other shops to a shared lead.

Start with your email and we'll hold your spot. It takes about 30 seconds.
A few details about your business.
So we can study your market before the call and make it worth your time.
You're building toward it.
Contractor Fast Lane is built for businesses doing $500K+ a year, so the growth engine has enough to really compound. You're not quite there yet, and that's completely okay.
We've got your details. As you grow, we'll send you the moves that get you there, and the moment you cross $500K, you'll be first in line.

The best plumber does not get the call. The first one they find does.
Plumbing runs on emergencies nobody schedules, a homeowner dialing down a list at 6 a.m., and a job that goes to whoever answers. Plumbing marketing is what turns that scramble into water heaters, repipes and sewer work booked every single week.
We build the engine, run it, and put every account in your name. No marketplace lead resold to three shops before your phone rings. The machine is yours, and it keeps earning long after the build is paid for.
In 2015 I started Four28 Marketing with one goal: give local businesses an unfair advantage in their market.
Eleven years and 250+ businesses later, one pattern kept jumping out. Home services was the one place I could run the same playbook and watch it actually work. Not a slide in a quarterly review, real jobs on a real calendar. I’d rather move the needle for a small business than a Fortune 500 any day.
So we took everything we had built over a decade and pointed all of it at one thing.
Best plumber in town. Third name on the search page.
None of these are workmanship problems. They are demand problems, and demand is a system, not luck. Systems get rebuilt.
Emergencies go to whoever ranks first
A burst pipe does not shop around. The homeowner calls the first plumbing company Google shows them, and if that is not you, the job is gone before your phone ever rings.
Shared plumbing leads resold to four shops
You pay $20 to $85 for a lead the marketplace already sold to three other plumbers, then race them all to a $150 drain call. Win or lose, the lead seller gets paid every time.
Franchises outspending you on every channel
The national brands and home-warranty networks blanket your market with budgets you cannot match, then squeeze independent shops on rate. Out-shouting them is a losing game. Out-ranking them is not.
Boards half-empty between emergencies
Emergency work keeps the lights on, but it does not fill tomorrow's schedule. When call volume dips, your techs sit, payroll does not, and dispatch spends the day shuffling instead of booking.
Built for the shop that already has a reputation.
You run real trucks. Your techs are good and your callbacks are rare. Referrals alone stopped being enough a while back. What you want is a board that fills itself, holds up when you add a truck, and is yours.
What the owners actually say.
The same engine has scaled 250+ local service businesses across 25 industries, and plumbing is a trade we know cold. Every review below is a real owner. See the full case studies on our results page.
“I've worked with plenty of agencies that promise the world and deliver a folder full of vanity metrics. Contractor Fast Lane is different. They feel like an extension of our team and take the time to understand our industry instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all template. Since partnering with them we have seen a significant increase in qualified leads and a real boost in ROI, and our cost per acquisition has dropped.”
We've used a number of marketing agencies over the years. Contractor Fast Lane has hands-down been our favorite to work with. We tell everyone that they need to hire them. They exponentially increased our revenue. They are phenomenal to work with!
I was with a different company for TWELVE years whom I trusted, only to find out he had not been performing yet was charging us anyway. We didn't have our log-ins, never got reports, and had no idea what we were missing.. until my wife found these guys. Daniel and the team have made my business shine. They are a God send.
My husband and I run a local business, and when it came time to grow we knew we needed experts. Contractor Fast Lane came highly recommended from a friend who raved about them. They are crazy good at taking complicated, nerdy stuff and making it make sense, and they were always communicating so I never once wondered what was going on. Their SEO work for our market has been a game changer, and we have seen a tangible increase in our lead volume.
It was clear they had done extensive research on our industry before we ever sat down. We spoke to other agencies, but there was a distinct difference. What really stood out was their proven track record getting clients top rankings on Google. We needed a site built the right way, optimized and built to convert, and that is exactly what they delivered. Honestly, it has been one of the best investments we have made for our business.
My lawn care company needed to fill our schedule fast, and Contractor Fast Lane was the solution. They identified the best times, places, and people to target to maximize the amount and quality of the jobs my money was paying for.

We worked with Contractor Fast Lane on our new website and appreciated their flexibility and commitment to delivering a polished result.

If you are looking for a company that listens, refines, and delivers work tailored to your needs, they are a great choice!
Stop renting plumbing leads.
Own the system that makes them.
Buying plumbing leads is renting. The day you stop paying, it all disappears and you start from zero. Owning your plumbing lead generation is an asset that compounds and stays yours.
Pay forever. Own nothing.
Every booked call costs the same or more than the last. Stop paying and the leads vanish overnight.
Build once. Compound for years.
Your cost per job falls as the asset grows, and the website itself is fully yours at month 6.
What a plumbing lead actually costs in 2026
Published benchmarks for what plumbers pay per lead, channel by channel. Your market and your season move these numbers, but the shape holds: rent every call at these rates forever, or build the thing that makes them.

Four systems.
One plumbing engine.
Most plumber marketing leans on one channel and hopes. We connect four so they feed each other, and feed your dispatch board a steady flow of booked plumbing jobs.
calls
Get found the minute something fails, stay in front of the homeowner, win the call, and follow up faster than any competitor. That loop is what turns your plumbing company into the obvious choice in your market. See how the full engine works →
Plumbing is decided in the first ten minutes. Your engine is built for that.
The money is in who gets found first, who picks up at midnight, and which jobs your ads are set up to catch. Every piece is built around that, not lifted off some other trade's playbook.
1The first answer wins the job
Nobody with water on the floor calls three plumbers and compares quotes. Every lead gets a text back and a slot on the board the second it lands, so the job stops going to whoever happened to pick up.
2The two slots that own emergencies
Local Services Ads sit at the very top with the Google Verified badge, and the map pack sits right under them. We build both in your own accounts, because a panicked homeowner picks from the first three names.
3Water heaters, not $89 drain clears
One broad campaign catches a toilet auger and a whole-home repipe at the same price. We split the high-ticket lines out with their own pages, ads and estimate flow, so the board fills with jobs worth running.
4Covered at 2 a.m. and on Sundays
Nights, weekends and the first hard freeze are when the calls come and the big shops let them ring out. Your follow-up never sleeps, so a Sunday leak becomes a booked slot instead of a voicemail nobody hears.
5One good visit, twenty years of calls
Do the first job right and you get the water heater, the repipe and the neighbor. Reviews and follow-up are wired to earn that first visit, then keep your name on the fridge instead of a competitor's magnet.
6An asset with your name on it
Your data, reviews, content and customers are yours from day one, and the website itself is fully yours at month six. Every account carries your name, so nothing you build here walks out with a vendor.
Is your market still unclaimed?
We work with one plumbing company per service area, and yours locks when you start. Book a 15-minute call to find out whether your market is still open.
Book a Discovery Call →We know plumbing. It shows.
Six systems feeding one dispatch board. Every one of them in your name.
No more juggling five vendors who do not talk to each other. Every piece of your plumbing lead generation is built, connected, and run under one roof.
Plumbing SEO & Google Maps
We get your plumbing company ranking for the searches that pay, plumber near me, water heater replacement, and emergency plumber across your service area, plus the Google map pack where the calls come from.
Google Local Services Ads
The Google Verified badge that puts your plumbing company at the very top of the results, pay-per-lead placement built for the homeowner who needs a plumber right now, not next week.
Plumbing PPC & paid social
Plumbing advertising tuned to the jobs you want more of: Google Ads on the money searches, water heaters, repipes, and sewer lines, plus Facebook and Instagram campaigns that keep drain and faucet volume filling the gaps.
A plumbing website built to convert
A fast, mobile-first plumbing website engineered to turn a panicked search into a booked call, click-to-call on every screen, emergency booking, and the financing options that close water heater and repipe jobs.
Review & reputation engine
Automated review requests after every call that build a wall of five-star Google reviews, the single biggest reason a homeowner picks one plumber over another in the same town.
Speed-to-lead & CRM follow-up
A plumbing lead that waits an hour is gone. Every lead gets an instant text back and a spot on your board, then automated follow-up until they book, so nothing slips while your techs are under a house.
For shops adding trucks, not chasing calls.
You run real trucks and want predictable, owned growth.
Contractor Fast Lane is built for established plumbing companies doing roughly $500K to $10M and up per year that have outgrown word-of-mouth and referrals. If you already have the trucks, the techs, and the reputation, we build the plumbing marketing engine that keeps every board full, and lock your market so a competitor cannot buy the same system.
Service & repair plumbingEmergency calls, leaks, and repairs from homeowners searching right now.
Water heaters & repipesThe high-ticket jobs that carry the month, booked from searches you own.
Drain & sewer workSteady drain cleaning volume, plus the sewer line replacements it uncovers.
One plumbing company per marketWe work with a single plumbing company per service area. Yours locks when you start.
Your plumbing engine gets stronger every month it runs.
Win a house once and you tend to keep it: the water heater, the repipe, the sewer line, the neighbor who asked who you used. Your engine matures the same way. Rankings and reviews stack instead of resetting, so nothing built early gets thrown away later.
A $99 special fills Tuesday and empties Friday. The shops that stay the first name in town built something the coupon cycle cannot touch.
Why we built this.
“I kept watching the same thing happen: a plumber doing five-star work, running circles around the shop down the street, and still losing to them. Not because the other guy was better. Because he had a system bringing him customers, and they didn't.
So we built the system. Then we packaged the whole thing, done for you, for local service businesses ready to scale. We keep your calendar full, you run the jobs, and it is all in your name, right down to the website becoming yours at month 6.
No contracts, no lock-ins. We earn it every month. And we only take one company per market, so if yours is still open, I'd love to meet you.”
Your plumbing engine, running live.
A sample view of the system you would be running: appointments, pipeline, and the market you have locked, all in one place with nothing held hostage.
- Booked jobs land straight in your pipeline, not a shared marketplace.
- Every lead is exclusive to you and never resold to a competitor.
- The system compounds every month instead of resetting when you stop paying.
- Nothing held hostage: the website is fully yours at month 6, an asset on your books.
