What tends to win for plumbers
- Main category “Plumber”; add “Water heater installation service” or “Drainage service” only for work you do.
- Reviews that mention the job (water heater, slab leak, drain) help Google match more searches.
- Plumbers are usually service-area businesses, so the verified address sets the center of where they rank.
