High Priorities

Growth Blueprint

1. Priority Overview

Resolve ownership, measurement and acquisition risks first, then make structural changes with verified evidence.

Filter priority:
HP-01CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACTOwner: Scott / operations / current administrators

Secure ownership and recovery

Observed Finding

Scott encountered difficulty obtaining access. Ads read-only access works; ownership of every other asset was not independently verified.

Proposed Action

Create an asset register, verify company-admin access and recovery, and document vendor dependencies.

HP-02CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACTOwner: Analytics / CRM / dispatch

Connect tracking to booked jobs

Observed Finding

Historical plumbing GA4 is unavailable. Paid landing hosts and multiple call/form actions require reconciliation.

Proposed Action

Instrument each host and match 30–50 inquiries through qualification, booking and invoice.

HP-03CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACTOwner: Ads manager / analytics / dispatch

Investigate rising Ads CPA

Observed Finding

Recent 30-day reported CPA was $163.49 versus $103.74 over 90 days and approximately $90 in the preceding 60 days.

Proposed Action

Review change history, imports, phone routing, search terms and booked-lead quality before budget changes. Confirm service fit before excluding the approximately $418 sampled well-pump theme.

HP-04CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACTOwner: SEO / web / Scott

Prepare staged website consolidation

Observed Finding

The main domain has stronger established authority and already represents both trades; plumbing visibility is growing.

Proposed Action

Complete URL mapping, tracking and destination checks before moving useful plumbing content.

HP-05CRITICAL / HIGH IMPACTOwner: Web / analytics / dispatch

Test simpler service-request capture

Observed Finding

The homepage form sits below several sections; existing Housecall Pro booking starts with a full-address check.

Proposed Action

Test a prominent callback form alongside existing calls and booking.

2. Ownership and Access

Verify company-controlled administration, recovery and delegated vendor access across every critical asset.

Asset recovery checklist

  • Both domains, DNS, hosting, renewal billing and backups.
  • GA4, GSC, GTM and Google Ads: identifiers, administrators, recovery and export rights.
  • All three Google Business Profiles: Salem, Eugene and separate plumbing.
  • Call numbers, forwarding, porting rights, CRM and booking.
  • Conversion imports, service accounts and integration maintainers.

Access policy

Maintain verified company-controlled administration, backup access and MFA. Give vendors appropriate delegated access. Document dependencies before removing access or changing credentials.
Limitation & Scope: Do not claim that transfers, billing changes or GTM ownership changes are already required. PDF pp. 6, 44.

3. Measurement Gaps

Tracking coverage across websites, paid hosts, calls and booking.

Calls / CRM / bookingHousecall Pro booking observed; Ads call/import actions presentUnique leads and booked/invoiced outcomes not reconciledMatch lead IDs and validate imports
Limitation & Scope: Main-site GA4 recorded 23 Paid Search sessions while Ads recorded 2,572 clicks. Different hosts and call journeys make this a scope discrepancy, not a measured tracking-loss rate. Unverified CallRail, ServiceTitan/FieldEdge, duplicate-call and cross-domain-failure claims have been removed. PDF pp. 7, 28, 45.

4. Conversion Definitions

Proposed definitions requiring operations approval.

Stage 1

Raw interaction

Phone click, form start or chat initiation; diagnostic activity.

Stage 2

Accepted inquiry

Successfully received service request or answered service call with a lead ID.

Stage 3

Qualified lead

Valid service need within confirmed coverage, excluding spam and duplicates.

Stage 4

Booked job

Confirmed appointment/job linked to the lead. Track completed work and invoiced revenue separately.

Limitation & Scope: Several call/qualified-lead actions are primary in Ads; booked Prism actions are secondary. GA4 form_submit recorded 97 events, bct_form_submission 87, and thank_you_page 87. Overlap is possible, not proven. The invented 90-second qualification threshold has been removed. PDF pp. 20, 28, 46.

6. Lead-Capture Improvements

Proposed experiments and validation requirements.

Proposed experiment

Test a visible service-request form asking for service, name and phone; request additional information only when operationally needed. Retain direct calling and existing booking.
Validation

Verify copy, phone routing, consent, mobile accessibility and success/error handling. Compare qualified leads and booked jobs per eligible session; track abandonment, spam and response time. Extend testing when volume is insufficient.

Limitation & Scope: The concept's final step still requires name, phone, email and address/city. No Woodward uplift or mobile-abandonment rate was established. The 500-visitors-per-variant rule and 15–20% lift promise have been removed. PDF pp. 39–40, 48.

7. Website and Profile Decisions

Decision gates and dependencies for domain consolidation and profile structure.

Favor staged consolidation

Favor staged consolidation into woodwardheating.com after a complete crawl, equivalent-destination redirect map, lead baseline and tracking QA. Preserve growing plumbing service/product pages and maintain separate plumbing lead reporting.

Evidence

Recent GSC clicks: heating 1,744; plumbing 126. Referring domains: 321 versus 202. Provider authority rank: 37 versus 0; these are third-party metrics, not Google scores.

Profile note

Three profiles were verified. Separate plumbing has 10 reviews versus Salem's 5,009. Verify ownership and eligibility before profile changes. A hidden address can be appropriate for a service-area business; website consolidation does not justify immediate profile deletion.

Limitation & Scope: Claims that consolidation automatically transfers all authority or guarantees preserved rankings have been removed. PDF pp. 29, 34, 41–42, 50, 52.
