The most reviews around.
Still stuck at 9th.

You’ve got 138 reviews — more than any of the three firms above you. But for “boiler installation” you never crack the top three: 9th at your own door, and 30th–59th everywhere around it.

Never in the top three — 9th at best, and much lower around you.
We searched “boiler installation” from nine points 2.5 km apart. Your best was 9th, at your own doorstep; the rest of your patch put you 19th to 59th. Almost nobody scrolls past the first three — so this work is going to firms with fewer reviews than you.

What moving up is worth.

At 9th, this search barely reaches you. Here’s what the top three is worth — take boiler installs:

Today: 9th at best
1–2 boiler installs
≈ £4,200 a year from this search
→
In the top three: 1st–3rd
25 boiler installs
≈ £69,500 a year

And that’s one search of four. The same is true of every other job people type in:

How we get to these numbers

Five steps, for boiler installs. Every other job on the list follows the same five.

86,000
people in the patch you can win. Not your whole service area — the bit where a top-three firm actually holds top three. We measured it.
35,833
homes, at about 2.4 people each.
2,007
boiler installs a year across those homes. Britain replaces about 1 home boiler in 18 a year.
25
of them could be yours, up in the top three. Of every 2,007: about 28% look on Google (552), a top-three listing takes roughly 15% of those clicks (83), and about 30% become a job once you've quoted.
£69,500
at £2,800 an install. Do the same sum for the other three jobs and you get £92,200 a year.

The softest figure is the share who look on Google — we use 28%, a careful middle (it's somewhere in the 20–35% range). Everything else is either measured (the 35,833 homes) or a well-established rate. All the figures are turnover, not profit.

You’ve got the reviews.
So why are you 9th?

Because reviews aren’t the only thing Google weighs — and on the rest, the firms above you are simply set up better for boilers. Here’s the gap:

What’s already strong
  • A perfect 5.0★ rating — as high as anyone near you
  • You have 138 reviews — more than all three firms above you (57, 74, 33)
  • A real Croydon address — Google knows where you are
Why you’re stuck at 9th
  • Your website never says “boiler installation” — not once, on any page
  • Your homepage title targets “London Plumbers” — not boilers, not Croydon (it even says Bromley)
  • Your reviews have stalled — 2 in 90 days while the #1 firm banked 14
  • Your category is “Plumber” — all three above you are “Central Heating Service”
… and these are just from a quick look. A full check turns up more.
The short of it — you’ve got more trust than the firms beating you — but your website never mentions the job you want, your listing is filed under the wrong trade, and your reviews have gone quiet. Fix those three and the reviews you already have start working for you. None of it touches how you do the work.

How I can help.

I maximise your visibility on Google, and keep you there every month.

Here's one I'm proud of — Cawley Plumbing, on their main search:

Is it worth it for me?
£299
a month — covered by about 3 extra boiler installs a year. An install leaves you roughly £1,400 once you've paid for the boiler and the parts.
≈ £7,700
of new work a month, once you're in the top three — across all four searches, on my middle estimate. That's the size of what the £299 is chasing.

And there's no year to sign up for: the first month is free, and you cancel the moment it costs more than it makes you. These are estimates — you'll be judging it on the real work that comes in.
