How Much Does Schema Markup Cost for Plumbers?

Your van's on the road every day, your reviews are solid, but when someone searches "plumber near me" on ChatGPT or Google AI — you're nowhere. That's a schema problem, not a reputation problem.
The Short Answer:

Schema markup for plumbers packages start at just £49. It tells AI search engines who you are, what you do, and where you work — so you appear for "plumber near me" searches across your entire service area. Implemented in 48 hours.

Why Plumbers Are Losing Customers to AI Search

Here's the situation: a homeowner in Stockport has a burst pipe at 7pm. They don't open Google and scroll through ten blue links anymore. They ask ChatGPT "emergency plumber near me" or get an AI Overview that names three plumbers before they even see the traditional results. If your business doesn't have structured data telling these systems where you operate, you won't be one of those three.

Most plumbing businesses rely on their Google Business Profile and hope for the best. That worked five years ago. In 2026, AI systems need more than a listing — they need machine-readable data that explicitly says "this plumber covers these postcodes." Without it, you're invisible to the fastest-growing source of local customer referrals.

Our 48-Hour Implementation Process

We follow a disciplined workflow tuned for your industry. Day 1 begins with a structured crawl of your site and public profiles to extract every credential and service area. By lunchtime we map each specialty to the precise schema classes required.

During the afternoon of Day 1 we draft your JSON-LD schema, then run it through schema.org validators plus our in-house AI test prompts to confirm assistants can cite you. Day 2 is implementation and verification: we deliver paste-ready markup, deploy it (or guide your developer), and capture validation screenshots. Weeks 2-4 are for monitoring to ensure the data is picked up correctly.

How AI Visible Gets Plumbers Found

We implement Plumber-specific LocalBusiness schema on your homepage. This isn't generic markup — it uses the dedicated Plumber schema type that Google recognises, combined with the areaServed property that maps your exact service coverage by postcode district, city, or radius.

The process takes 48 hours. We add a small block of structured data code to your website — you won't see any visual changes. No redesign, no new pages, no disruption. Your site looks exactly the same to customers, but AI systems can now read it like an index card: business name, services offered, areas covered, contact details, reviews.

Within 2-3 weeks, Google processes your schema and begins associating your business with local queries across your entire declared service area. That means one plumber in Manchester can appear for "plumber near me" in Salford, Stockport, Bolton, and Oldham — without needing a separate page for each town.

📊 What You Get:

Plumber-specific LocalBusiness schema on your homepage
areaServed mapping covering your full service radius
Google Rich Results validation
48-hour implementation, no site changes visible to customers
Results in AI search within 2-3 weeks

Typical Implementation Example

The following is an illustrative example based on common outcomes from schema markup implementations. Individual results may vary.

The Scenario: A plumbing business in Stockport was reliable and fairly priced but struggled to get calls for boiler installs.

The Diagnosis: Their 'Boiler Installation' page was just text. AI didn't know they were Gas Safe registered or offered finance.

The Solution: We added Plumber schema, linking their Gas Safe ID and marking 'Boiler Installation' as a service with a 'Finance Available' offer.

The Outcome: The business secured **4-5 additional estimate calls daily** within 90 days, filling their installation diary weeks in advance. (Source: D&D SEO Services Case Study)
