Plumbers, HVAC techs, drain cleaners, and one-truck trades
A site that can answer the phone at 9 p.m.
Emergency call, service area, license, and a page Google can match to your Business Profile — not a 12-page brochure.
A plumbing or HVAC site is a dispatch tool. Homeowners searching at 9 p.m. are not browsing your brand story. They are checking that you are real, close, and reachable. Instagram can wait.
What has to be on the first page
Tap-to-call above the fold on a phone
If after-hours is a different number or a form, say so in one sentence.
Service area in words a neighbor would use
Counties and “south of the river” beat a vague “greater metro.”
The jobs you take — and a line for the ones you do not
Water heaters, sewers, new construction. “No drain cleaning” saves everyone a trip.
License number if your state prints it on the van
Match the Google listing. Do not invent a badge.
One photo of the truck or a real job (with permission)
Stock kitchens are how you look like a lead mill.
Builder choice for a truck trade
Default to GoDaddy Website Builder (affiliate link to GoDaddy, placeholder URL) if you want the domain, the page, and Microsoft 365 in one Saturday. Squarespace is fine if a family member will design it and you will only call them twice. Wix is fine if you already live in widgets. None of them matter more than answering the phone.
Pair it with Google, then with paper
Complete the Business Profile with the same NAP. Then put the URL on the next invoice and card order — printer and cards after the domain works. Emergency trades still live and die on the listing and the phone; the site is the confirmation layer.
