Btw, i hate thermo mixing valves.... Hate them with a passion, to fit under a bath or under a basin is a nightmare. Under sinks i dont mind, normally have to repipe the hot and cold back from back panel.

U up in the toon next week? U rushed off your feet? One of our lads left went to work for another firm.... Sounded ok till he said they had a taxi driver doing cp12 between taxi jobs. Apparently he's never done any install work and is a little green. Doh!!

be cheaper
No - look cheaper. Like RyanAir.
This is my price £very low.
If you want your boiler to have a flue, add £x
If you want water in your radiators, add £y
If you want the gas actually connected to your boiler, add £z
and so on...

I can't be cheaper as I win jobs on the normal rate , it's the people that expect it done on the cheap that I don't get there work some time ! It's annoying as I give them better price and they still ask for more .......
Startimg a big job Monday full house P&H 1st fix including drainage visiting another 3 jobs to survey tomorrow hopefully will get them which will put a smile back on my face .....

bolton plumber is the term I go for mainly, that shows me on page 1.
The adwords thing runs about 9-7 mon, tues, thurs, 9-1 wed, fri, sat.
I'll pop it in my sig now if I can figure out how to do it

Hey JC
When I search for your "Bolton plumber" term I can see you on the right hand column paid for ad and on page two of the paid for top adverts.
Your unpaid listing comes on page 3.
If you keep searching for your own listing from your own computer, for some reason google ALWAYS lists you on page one (tells you what it think you want to see?).
So whilst you may think your generic website is listed on page one, When I search I don't see that!
In terms of marketing, if I may be as bold. I would like to offer some feedback on your website if you so wish
BTW from my research most of the customers who contact me from the google search choose to phone me because I am(was) listed as the fist generic (i.e. no paid for advert) in the list after the top paid for box.
I say used, because I have noticed that my rank has slipped down to the lower end of page one just recently!
regards
Russ

To be honest it takes a few minutes every month or so to stay on page 1 for me. Not sure if I've just been lucky or what, but maybe I should be advertising my SEO services as well as plumbing
I didn't do any SEO for a few months before xmas and I fell off page 1, a website developer/SEO seller phoned me just after xmas to offer his services, I told him to do one because I'm already on page 1, he argued enough to make me check and I was very embarrassed when he was right.
So I told him to ring me back in a week if I can't get back on page 1 myself. All I did was change a few bits on the website, literally 2 minutes work, 3 days later I was back on page 1. He hasn't phoned me back yet

Perhaps you should feature that on your website. You may get a whole new type of clientele!

Yeah that'll be Google refining the search to be more tailored to the type of images browsed in your history.
