I found two search phrases where Dad and Sons Plumbing appear in the Snack Pack. “24 hour plumber near me” and “affordable plumbing“. The screen shot below is the result of a user in Denton searching for “affordable plumbing“. If 100 users made that search it is estimated that 44% of them will click one of the three businesses in the Snack Pack. Only 8% will click on More Places.

I marked in bold the two search phrases that Dad And Sons Plumbing showed up in the Snack Pack. Those with nothing next to them mean Dad and Sons Plumbing wasn’t even in the top 50 (first 5 pages). I wouldn’t count much on people looking for plumbing services to use the maps search function. If they did, they probably would only go for the top three results.

As I write this my Local SEO expertise has not been retained by any Plumbers in the Denton area. If another Plumber in the area retains my services then I will only be able to give DYI (do it yourself) information at the schedule Q&A work shops to avoid a conflict of interest.
