Laying the Groundwork for 3.4 Million Impressions
For this plumbing and drainage specialist, we secured total control of branded search and started the work of pushing that authority into the service terms that drive new business.
About the Client
This client provides plumbing, heating, and drainage services, with a strong focus on drain-related emergency and maintenance work. It’s a trade where local trust and immediate availability decide who gets the call.
Challenge
Every spelling variant of the brand name was fragmented across the SERP with inconsistent signals, and the site had never been structured to compete for the emergency and service-type searches (drainage, plumbing) that make up the bulk of category demand. Impressions were already large; conversion from those impressions was not.
Solution
We consolidated the brand’s fractured naming signals into a single, consistent entity Google could confidently rank at position 1 across every spelling variant, then began building out dedicated service pages for drainage and plumbing work — the categories where the real volume lives — using the newly secured branded authority as the foundation to build from.
Total Branded Control, Category Growth Underway
The client now holds position 1.0 or 1.1 across every spelling of its brand name, generating 5.43K clicks from a substantial 3.4M impressions. That branded lock is now the foundation the site is building category and service-term visibility on top of.

Top Performing Queries
| Keyword | Clicks | Avg Position (Worldwide) |
|---|---|---|
| [Brand name — spelling A] | 160 | 1.0 |
| [Brand name — spelling B] | 129 | 1.1 |
| [Brand name — spelling C] | 87 | 1.1 |
| [Brand] – drains | 22 | 1.0 |
| [Brand] – plumbing | 21 | 1.0 |
Every Foundation Starts Underground
A brand name split across three unranked spelling variants sends Google a confusing signal — and confusion is the enemy of ranking. Before this client could compete for a single “drainage” or “plumbing” search, it needed one unambiguous, page-one presence for its own name.
That consolidation work isn’t the flashy part of an SEO campaign, but it’s the part everything else gets built on. With branded search now fully secured across every variant, the next phase — and the one already underway — is channeling that authority into the higher-volume service terms where the 3.4M impressions are currently landing without a click.
This is a foundation case study: the groundwork is in, and the category rankings are the next pour.
