O’BANNON PLUMBING & SEWER

70 Years Deep in South Chicago

O’Bannon Plumbing & Sewer has been working out of South Chicago since 1949 with three generations of father-and-son ownership. Their service truck route runs from Hegewisch through the southwest suburbs and into Northern Indiana, covering drain cleaning, water heater installs, sewer line repair, hydro jetting, frozen lines, residential plumbing, the whole list. They came to us because they wanted their search presence to match the territory they actually run.

Here’s what we built and run for them:

THE MISSION

Paying for Every Lead, Ranking for None of Them

O’Bannon had decades of trust in the neighborhood and three generations of plumbers running calls. What they didn’t have was a search presence that matched any of it. Every phone call was a paid call. Every ranking belonged to someone else.

WHAT WAS BROKEN:

  • 100% of leads came from paid ads
  • 0 organic rankings in 50+ service areas
  • Northside competitors owning southside searches
  • A generic website trying to rank a whole metro
  • 70 years of reputation, zero search presence

The work was there. The trucks were there. The reviews were there. Search just didn’t know any of it.

THE BATTLE

Plumbing Website Design Built for Local Search

The fix wasn’t fancy. We built a website engineered for the geography O’Bannon actually services, and we did the keyword research city by city.

PHASE 01

51 Geo-Targeted Location Pages

You don’t drive 90 minutes for a $200 call, and your search shouldn’t either.

  • 18 Chicago neighborhoods covered
  • 28 Illinois suburbs covered
  • 5 Northern Indiana cities covered
  • Every page researched for local intent

PHASE 02

21 Service Pages with Topical Authority

Every service O’Bannon offers got its own page, tuned to the search terms plumbers actually rank for.

  • Drain cleaning, water heater, sewer line repair
  • Hydro jetting, frozen lines, leak detection
  • Sewer camera, electric rodding, catch basin work
  • Internal linking built to one authority hub

PHASE 03

SEO-Driven On-Page Optimization

Every page was built with advance SEO strategies, benchmarked against top-ranking competitors.

  • Primary, secondary, and supporting keywords mapped per page
  • Every page benchmarked against page 1 competitors
  • Headlines and subheads weighted for search signal
  • 0 pages published without a robust SEO check

PHASE 04

Local SEO Foundation Built to Last

We built the foundation with longevity in mind, and five years later it’s still ranking with no maintenance retainer running.

  • Mobile-first build, fast loading speed
  • Clean schema markup for local search
  • Refreshed brand identity engineered for trust
  • No maintenance retainer required to hold rankings

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

“Yeah, But…Frequently Asked Questions”

Every contractor we talk to has the same handful of doubts. Here are the answers we’d give your cousin if he asked.

Yes, if you stick to the playbook. The Ringing and Booked™ system gets you calls when the foundation’s solid. But you can’t outrank a regional name with a ten-page site and four Google reviews. We’re experts, not miracle workers.

Anywhere from $1,500 to $25,000. A brochure site for a one-truck shop is one number. A full 100+ page system for a fleet is another. Tell us what you’re trying to do. We’ll tell you what fits and work with your budget.

Yes. The site goes with you. The code and methodology that ranks it stays with us.
