What Jobber's website builder gives you
“the website builder is included with every Jobber plan at no additional cost.”
“Then personalize it with your own domain, work photos, and brand colors.”
That’s a real benefit: a working site at no extra cost, tied into the software you already use for jobs. For a shop that wants a simple online presence and is happy to build and update it, it may be all you need.
What a website builder leaves to you
A builder gives you the tools. The work that gets a plumbing site found is still yours:
- Writing a page for every service you offer, in the words customers search for.
- Keeping your Google Business Profile’s categories, services, hours and service areas in step with the site.
- Checking each month what’s missing, what’s slipping, and whether AI answers name you.
- Adding your license number in your state’s required format, and keeping claims like 24/7 true.
PlumberEngine does all of that for $99 a month. Whether it’s worth it depends on what your evenings are worth, and how much work the site would need to bring in to cover it.
Using Jobber and PlumberEngine together
Most plumbers on Jobber should keep it. It runs the jobs; PlumberEngine runs the website and your Google presence. Your site’s “Request a quote” or “Book online” button can point straight at your Jobber booking form, so requests land where you already work.
When Jobber's website is enough
- Your schedule is full from referrals and repeat customers, and you mainly need somewhere to send people.
- You enjoy building and updating your own site, and you’ll keep your Google profile current yourself.
- You work in a small town with little competition in the map pack.
