What to shoot
The open chamber before and after, a still from the camera, the jetter working, the van, and the reinstated ground once it is tidy.
The listing that gets rung at half ten.
An emergency search barely gets past the map. If your profile is thinner than the firm above you, the call is theirs.
Drainage service is the primary category, and secondaries go on only where you truly do the work, because a category you cannot deliver brings calls you turn down. Each job gets a service entry written in the words somebody types at eleven at night. Hours have to be true if you want the half ten call. Done alongside the build.
The categories a drainage firm needs, and the services under them
The primary category carries most of the weight, and for a drainage firm that is Drainage service. Secondaries only go on where you truly do the work, because a category you cannot deliver brings calls you have to turn down.
The services list is where a drainage profile wins or loses. Each job gets its own entry, described in the words somebody types at eleven at night.
The services we write on a drainage profile
One entry each, described properly, matching the pages on the site.
- Blocked drains, sinks, toilets, gullies and manholes
- Emergency drain unblocking, and the hours you actually answer
- CCTV drain surveys, with what the report contains
- Drain repairs, patch lining and excavation
- Septic tanks and soakaways, emptying and repair
- Root cutting and high pressure jetting
- Pre purchase drain surveys for buyers and surveyors
What to photograph, and which towns to set
Drainage is the easiest trade of the lot to photograph well, because the before and after is genuinely dramatic and it is all at ground level.
How many
Far more than most firms manage. We loaded 91 on a client profile in Wakefield, and it is the single easiest thing to keep topped up.
The areas
Set the towns you will actually drive to at midnight, not the ones you would like. A wide area with slow answers hurts the listing.
The review ask that works for a drainage firm
Ask while you are packing the jetter away. The customer has just watched a bathroom stop backing up, and they will never be more pleased with you than they are in that hour.
Letting agents are the other half of it. They rarely leave a review off a text, so we build the ask into the invoice and the report instead, where somebody in an office is already reading.
We do not buy reviews, write them, or use a service that produces them. Google takes them down, customers spot them, and the listing you rely on for emergency work is not worth the risk.
The site the profile has to match

The Solihull driveways build
There is no public drainage demo to send you to yet. This is a driveways firm instead, built the same way, with the page per job structure a profile needs behind it.
- A page per job, so every profile service has somewhere to land
- The same wording on the page and in the profile
- A gallery that loads fast on a phone
Four things drainage firms ask about the profile
Can I show that I am open at night?
Yes, and you should if it is true. The hours on the profile are what a customer checks at eleven, and being honestly open is worth more than being listed as always open and not answering.
How wide should the service area be?
As wide as you will actually attend. We set the towns you cover, and if you take on another engineer we widen it under the care plan.
Do CCTV survey photos help?
They do. A still from the camera is the one picture that proves you own the kit, and almost nobody puts one up.
Who owns the profile at the end?
You do, under your own Google account. We take a manager role while we work on it and you can remove us at any point.
We build the site and set the profile up beside it, then send you the link to both.
