Emergency & Repair Services
Audit Opportunity:
Simi Valley Emergency Plumbing scored 58% overall in their online presence audit, with an average Google search rank of 1.22 out of 20. That means there average rank, over most of Simi Valley is just below first place. While their Google Business Profile is fully optimized, they lack accurate business listings (82% inaccurate), are missing key web tech tools (0% tech stack presence), and have low review engagement (only 6% replies). Despite strong SEO (97%) and website performance (95%), they don’t use a chat widget, or Google Ads, which limits lead generation. Improvements in tech stack, listings, review engagement and local backlinks could significantly increase leads and customer trust. Want us to feature your business next? Click here to apply.
