How Clarke Kent Plumbing Captured 91% Of Emergency Calls
Clarke Kent Plumbing Inc. had the reputation, plumbers, and capacity to handle more work — but nearly half of its after-hours emergency opportunities were disappearing into voicemail.

Challenge & Our Solution
45% of Clarke Kent's emergency calls arriving after 7 PM were going unanswered. The company was averaging 18 missed emergency calls per week at an average job value of $480 — representing an estimated $449,280 in annual revenue lost to voicemail. Google Ads were still sending traffic to a homepage converting at only 2.1%, while high-value water heater and repiping services had no dedicated plumbing marketing campaigns.
AICOADS deployed a 24/7AI voice agent for plumbers for emergency dispatch, created dedicated landing pages for emergency plumbing, water heaters and drain cleaning, rebuilt Google Ads for plumbers around service intent, launched Meta retargeting, activated Local Services Ads, automated Google review requests, and optimized Clarke Kent's Google Business Profile.
THE SYSTEM
What We Built
A complete emergency plumbing lead generation and service marketing system designed to capture plumbing demand whether customers called during office hours, after hours, or searched Google for a specific service.
24/7 AI Voice Agent
A Go High Level AI voice agent powered by Voiceflow answered every missed call within 60 seconds and immediately identified whether the caller had an active plumbing emergency, improving emergency plumber lead response after hours.
Emergency Dispatch Logic
Active flooding and burst-pipe calls triggered immediate on-call dispatch. Non-urgent plumbing inquiries were automatically booked for next-day service through the Go High Level calendar.
Service Landing Pages
Separate plumbing landing pages were built for emergency plumbing, water heater replacement and drain cleaning — reaching conversion rates of 8.7%, 9.1% and 6.4% respectively.
Water Heater Campaign
Dedicated Google Ads targeted water heater replacement and tankless upgrade searches while Meta Ads retargeted past customers around the eight-year replacement window.
Review Automation
A four-hour post-job SMS sequence automatically asked completed customers for feedback, growing Clarke Kent from 31 to 89 Google reviews in 90 days.
Google Maps Growth
Google Business Profile optimization, review velocity, service listings and structured schema helped move Clarke Kent from position 7 to position 2 for emergency plumber searches.
