A real plumbing advertiser we measured last week: 41 seconds.

That's how long the main content took to appear on a phone, on the page their emergency ads pay to fill — 32 seconds of blank screen first. At $30–80 a click, most of that spend never saw the offer at all. Their page weighs 9.9MB. Ours weighs 21KB. Read the whole teardown →

We ran our own teardown on this page.

Every agency says their audit is ruthless. We publish ours — same rubric we'd use on you, re-run whenever this page changes. It found six things. Four were fixed the same day; two are still open and named. Read it →

Who we work with

Plumbing companies. One per metro. Thirty in total.

We do one thing for one trade, because that's what makes the machine fast (see the next section). If you're a plumbing company spending $3,000–$30,000 a month on Google Ads in one of these markets, you're who this is built for.

One plumbing company per metro, at a time. While you're with us we will never work with your competitor. The rule works both ways: it protects you while you're here, and the slot reopens if you leave.

We'll say yes if…

  • You're an independent plumbing company — not a franchise or a national brand
  • You're spending $3k+/month on Google Ads and want more from it
  • You can give us access to your analytics, ads and website
  • Your metro slot is still open

We'll say no if…

  • Your competitor got here first. We won't run two plumbers in one market — that's the promise that makes this worth having
  • You're a franchisee who can't change your own website. We'd be charging you for work you can't authorise
  • You're spending under $3k/month. There isn't enough traffic to measure honestly. Take the free teardown and use it in-house
  • You want us to manage your ad budget instead. That's a different job, and there are good people who do it
  • You won't share learnings with the other plumbers in the group (see below) — it's the whole reason this works
Why thirty, and why that makes you money faster

One plumber can't test their way to an answer. Thirty can.

This is the part nobody else will show you, so here it is in full.

Say you spend $20,000 a month at $40 a click. That's 500 visitors a month — a good business, but a terrible laboratory. To know whether a change genuinely helped (rather than got lucky), you need a certain number of visitors. Fewer visitors, longer wait:

Testing this wayVisitors needed per versionHow long you'd wait
Your site alone, testing everything at once~21 per combinationNever a real answer
Your site alone, one change at a time~1,500Around 9 months
Thirty plumbing companies running the same test~4,200 per monthAbout 11 days

Same test, thirty markets, no two of you competing. An answer that would take your business the better part of a year arrives in a fortnight — and then gets applied to all thirty pages at once.

Which is why we ask for something unusual — and why we ask it in writing.

You give us permission to apply what we learn from other plumbing companies to your pages, and what we learn from yours to theirs. Never your data, your customers, your prices or your numbers — only what worked: "the shorter form beat the longer one", "this headline out-pulled that one".

It's safe because of the one-per-metro rule: no one in the group competes with you. A plumber in Nashville learning that a callback promise works isn't taking anything from a plumber in Tampa. And it means you inherit thirty companies' worth of testing instead of your own.

What happens, in order

Fix what's broken. Borrow what's proven. Then test what's left.

1

Month 1 — the repairs

Everything the teardown found, biggest dollars first: speed, tap-to-call, the first screen, the forms. These are the big, obvious wins and they land fastest.

first fix live in week one
2

Month 2 — the group's proven wins

Everything already proven across the other plumbing companies gets applied to your pages. You skip the discovery entirely — this is the part you can't buy anywhere else.

inherited, not guessed
3

Months 2–3 — a page per money keyword

"Emergency plumber", "water heater repair", "burst pipe" — each gets its own page built to Google's own landing-page guidelines, instead of everything landing on your homepage.

where the compounding starts
4

Month 3 onward — group testing

Your pages join the rotation: one test at a time across all thirty markets, results in days instead of months, winners applied to everyone. Plus a monthly competitor watch and a fresh waste audit.

Then — the phone

24/7 AI call answering and appointment booking on your existing number, that improves itself from your real calls. Prescribed only if your call data shows you're missing calls.

Then — beyond the page

As the page work matures: an AI opportunity audit of your whole operation, social content produced and distributed automatically, and traffic generation once the pages are converting.

when you're ready, not before

What we'll tell you that nobody else does

The first month or two will move your numbers most. The big, broken things are the big, fast wins — and they're the easiest to prove. After that the gains get smaller and take longer to confirm, because that's how measurement works, not because we stopped trying.

And some tests won't work. Across thirty companies, plenty of good ideas turn out to do nothing at all. When that happens we'll tell you plainly, we won't dress it up as a win, and we won't quietly leave it running. Knowing what doesn't work is half of why the group is worth being in.

Your monthly report leads with the total we've recovered since we started — not a hand-picked good week. Cumulative, against your own baseline from day one.

What we need from you

About an hour of your time, in total.

Getting started (week one)

  • Google Analytics — view access, so we can see the before number
  • Google Adsread-only. We never touch your budget or campaigns
  • Google Tag Manager — how we ship changes without rebuilding your site
  • Your website login — your own system, your own user for us
  • Call tracking — yours if you have it, ours if you don't
  • The permission above, in writing, on the group learnings

We walk you through every one of these on a call. You can revoke any of it in about ten seconds, and we'll tell you how.

One technical thing (month two)

Fast pages can't be built on most website platforms — there's a ceiling, and it's usually about half of what's possible. So the new pages we build get served from our infrastructure, on your own web address: something like offers.yourplumbing.com.

That takes one line added to your domain settings — five minutes for whoever looks after your domain. Your main website isn't touched, moved or changed. Your email is unaffected. If you ever leave, you delete that one line and take the pages with you as plain files.

We'll prove it before you commit: we build one, split your ad traffic between it and your current page for two weeks, and if ours doesn't win on booked jobs we bin it.

Tracking that answers the question Google Analytics can't

Analytics tells you how many people visited and roughly what they did. It cannot tell you which $60 click became a booked job. We thread a single thread from the search someone typed, through the ad they clicked, to the page they landed on, to the call they made — and where possible, to the job you invoiced.

Two things that unlocks. You find out which keywords actually pay rather than which ones look busy. And we can feed real booked jobs back to Google, so its bidding starts chasing work instead of clicks — the same budget, aimed better.

Pricing — published, like it should be

One plan. One prescribed add-on. No surprises.

Why it's cheaper for you than for the plumber who joins next year

The group's value grows with the group. The thirtieth company to join gets fixes that took twenty-nine others to prove. So the price rises as the network does — and your rate is fixed on the day you join, for as long as you stay.

$2,500Founding rate — today, while the group is forming
$3,000Once we reach ten companies
$3,500Once we reach twenty

Early members are taking the risk that this works, so they pay the lowest price we'll ever charge. If you leave and come back, you come back at whatever the rate is then.

Why $2,500 and not $10,000? AI does the grunt work; humans do the judgment. That's the whole answer — the same work the big shops sell, at a cost structure they don't pass on.

Who you're dealing with

I'm Barry Walls. I've been making paid clicks pay since Google was new.

Not an account manager. Not a junior "strategist". The person who tears your page down is the person who's been doing this work for two decades — AI just made it affordable at your size.

Thousands of face-to-face sales appointments in financial services. I know how your customers decide, because I've sat across the table while they did.

Running Google Ads campaigns since Google was new. I speak the language your money is spent in.

Built one of the leading marketing agencies on Elance and ran it for years — hundreds of small businesses, rated in public, paid on results.

VC-backed founder, including co-founding an advanced property & casualty insurance marketplace. If your work is insurance-funded, I know how that money moves.

Conversion work since before it had a name — split-testing when the tools were brand new.

One real result, dated honestly: a Shopify store whose conversion rate roughly trebled after a full funnel rebuild. Client results from this business go here as they're earned, with their baselines.

Straight answers

What plumbing company owners actually ask

Why $2,500? My nephew does websites for $300.

Your nephew builds pages. We recover ad spend, and we're accountable to a number: your cost per booked job before us versus after us, measured on your own data. If the math doesn't work in a couple of months, cancel — that's what the no-contract term is for.

What if you don't find anything wrong?

We tell you that, in writing, and you keep the report. It happens — some pages are tight. You'll have paid nothing and you'll know your ad spend is landing well. We'd rather pass than invent work.

Do I have to move my website or change agencies?

No. We work on your site where it lives, with access you can revoke any time. Your ads stay wherever they're managed now — we make the clicks they buy worth more. The only new thing is a subdomain in month two, and your main site is untouched by it.

What exactly do you share with other plumbing companies?

What worked, never who it worked for. "A shorter form beat a longer one." "This headline out-pulled that one." Never your customers, your numbers, your prices, or your name. And never with anyone in your market — that's the one-per-metro rule.

How do you measure results without fancy analytics?

Against your own baseline: calls, form fills and booked jobs per month before versus after, with anything that muddies the comparison flagged honestly. No industry benchmarks, no vanity dashboards.

Who actually does the work?

AI does the analysis and the drafts — that's why the price is what it is. A human ships and checks every change, and every judgment call is made by someone who's done this for twenty-plus years. Nothing goes live on your site unreviewed.

We're a US company — do you send a W-9?

Yes. US LLC, EIN on file, W-9 on request, invoices by bank transfer or card. The quarterly prepay discount applies on bank transfer.

Find out what your ads are wasting. It costs nothing.

A real teardown of your real page, back within 48 hours, every finding priced in dollars. Keep it either way.
