background
The challenge
Kidwell Plumbing & Heating Services is a family-run plumbing and heating business established in 2015. When owner Jack first spoke to Yell, he was frustrated with his previous agency due to inconsistent performance, changing points of contact, and a lack of clarity around what was actually delivering results.
Key challenges
- Underperforming digital marketing with limited visibility and accountability
- A website that was outdated and not designed to convert enquiries
- Restricted local targeting, limiting demand across Sussex and neighbouring areas
The objective was to generate more consistent, high-intent enquiries, restore confidence in marketing performance, and build a stronger, more scalable platform for long-term growth. Jack did not want to spend more on marketing. He wanted clarity, consistency, and a partner who genuinely understood his business.
“Before I started with Yell, my biggest challenge was getting new customers. I knew I had a great service, but I wasn’t sure how to reach people who were actively looking for what I offered. Working with Yell and my dedicated consultant has been a game-changer. They made the entire process easy to understand and tailored a plan that made sense for my business. I now feel much more confident about my online presence.”

How we helped
Account manager Grant Saunders worked closely with Jack to build a strong digital foundation, starting with Activate and quickly scaling into Accelerate as results improved.
- 🔍 Targeted Google Ads to capture high-intent local searches
- 🌐 SEO website built to convert visitors into new clients
- 📍 Improved online presence, supporting stronger performance across Google and local search
- ⭐ Review generation and reputation building to establish trust

This gave Jack clear ownership, consistent support, and visibility over performance, replacing the uncertainty he experienced with his previous agency.
