Plumbing websites that handle emergency calls and booked jobs

A plumber's website in Quebec shows the CMMTQ logo and licence number, keeps an emergency call button at the top of every page for flooded basements and leaking water heaters, lists the towns served and lets people book the jobs that can wait. Photos of real work, like a rebuilt water entry or a new water heater, say more than a long paragraph. OKTO Solutions builds this kind of site for plumbers across Quebec from its office in Trois-Rivières.

What does a CMMTQ member plumber need to show on a website?

In Quebec, plumbing and heating contractor licences are issued by the Corporation des maîtres mécaniciens en tuyauterie du Québec (CMMTQ). The Régie du bâtiment says its members don't have to show their RBQ licence number in advertising, because their corporation's logo identifies them. In return, the CMMTQ's own regulation asks members to put that logo on every form of advertising they do, and on their quotes, contracts and invoices. On a website, the footer is the right spot, so the logo follows visitors from page to page. You can still add the licence number right beside it. Careful homeowners look for it before calling, and they find it without digging. Have your corporation or legal advisor confirm the details.

What should the site do when someone has water in the basement?

A homeowner with a flooded basement isn't reading your About page. They type "emergency plumber" and their town into their phone, often standing in water. The site has to get them your number in one tap: a Call button pinned to the top of the screen on every page. Right below it, a few things to do while they wait: shut off the main water valve, cut power or gas to the water heater if it's leaking, take photos for the insurer. Be straight about your hours. If you don't answer at night, say so and offer the first slot in the morning. Someone who reads "24/7" and gets voicemail won't call back, and they may well mention it in a Google review.

Can customers book a plumber online?

For anything that isn't an emergency, yes, and plenty of people would rather do it that way than phone. Replacing a water heater near the end of its life, installing a water softener, redoing the bathroom plumbing before the tile setter shows up: that work gets scheduled. A calendar that shows open slots by town saves a long back-and-forth. The form asks for the address, the type of job and a photo of the current setup, such as the water heater's rating plate. The plumber then shows up with the right part on the truck. List your service area town by town, with a page for the places you work most often. Visitors see right away whether you cover them, and Google links your business to those towns when someone nearby searches for a plumber.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions: Plumbing

I'm a CMMTQ member. Do I still need to show my RBQ licence number?
The RBQ exempts CMMTQ members from that rule, because the corporation's logo identifies them. That logo needs to appear in your advertising, website included. Nothing stops you from adding the number too. Many homeowners look for it before they call, and seeing it puts them at ease.
Is it worth having one page per town I serve?
Yes, as long as each page says something true about that town: the neighbourhoods you get called to, the kind of houses, a job you did nearby. Ten identical pages with only the town name swapped don't help anyone, and Google ends up ignoring them.
Can I post photos taken at my customers' homes?
Yes, with their permission. Shoot the before and after from the same angle, frame the work itself and leave out anything that identifies the house, like the street number or family photos on the wall. An honest phone photo beats a stock image every time.
Is Plomberie Ruisseau a real company?
No. Plomberie Ruisseau is a demo site with made-up branding, text and images, built by OKTO Solutions to show what a plumber's website can look like: water that ripples under the mouse, a curtain that rises like a wave, an emergency button always within reach. No real customer or licence appears on it.
How much does a site like these cost, and how long does it take to go live?
The price is set after a no-commitment scoping meeting, based on the number of pages, the languages, the copy to write and features like booking or an online store. A simple showcase site goes live quickly; an online store or a client portal takes longer. If you have a fixed date, we build the schedule around it.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain name is registered in your name, the copy, images and analytics are yours, and the code is handed over on request.
