About Pallan Plumbing
Pallan Plumbing, Inc. is a family-owned, licensed plumbing company in Camarillo, California. Since 2022, owner Shon Pallan and his team have handled residential and commercial plumbing across Ventura County, from drain cleaning and water heaters to leak detection, sewer line repair, and whole-home repipes.
Shon is the kind of plumber you hope shows up at your door. He doesn’t put his wallet above his customers’ needs. He tells people the truth, does quality work, and treats every customer like family. That servant heart is a big reason his customers keep calling him back.
A start-up up against national brands.
The plumbing industry is one of the most competitive local markets there is. Shon wasn’t just competing with other Camarillo plumbers. He was up against national franchise brands with offices in the area and marketing budgets that make it nearly impossible for a start-up to get traction.
When Pallan Plumbing came to us, they had no online visibility at all. No website. No presence in Google Maps. Nothing showing up when homeowners searched for a plumber. Most of their work came from word of mouth and paid lead services that charged for leads that often didn’t turn into jobs.
Shon had the skill and the heart. What he needed was a way for the people searching for a plumber to actually find him.
Building from the ground up.
With no website and no search presence, there was nothing to fix. We had to build everything from scratch, and we built it to compete with the national brands from day one.
We launched a fast, service-focused website, set up and optimized his Google Business Profile, and built steady review growth around the real experiences of his customers. Then we went after the places homeowners now ask for recommendations, including AI search.

I've been working with Jason at 805 SEO for just under a year but have already seen results in my business growth. They helped build my website and got me ranking higher on Google. But 805 SEO isn't your standard SEO company, they are more like family and look out for what's best for growing your business. I would recommend 805 SEO over any other SEO company.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do plumbers get more customers online?
Start with a website built around your services and service area, a fully optimized Google Business Profile, and a steady flow of genuine reviews. Those three things help you show up in Google Maps, organic search, and AI answers when homeowners need a plumber.
Can a new plumbing company compete with national franchise brands?
Yes. National brands have bigger budgets, but local search rewards relevance, proximity, and trust. Pallan Plumbing went from no website to the top 3 in Google Maps for its most valuable searches and the #1 cited Camarillo plumber in AI search.
How long does local SEO take for a plumber?
Most plumbers see early movement in Google Maps within a few months. Bigger gains, like top 3 rankings across a whole service area, usually build over 6 to 12 months of consistent work.
Do Google reviews help a plumber rank higher?
Reviews are one of the biggest local ranking factors, and they help convert searchers into calls. A steady stream of genuine, detailed reviews builds trust with both Google and homeowners.
How do I get my plumbing company recommended by AI search?
AI tools pull from websites, reviews, and local listings they trust. Clear service pages, consistent business information, and strong reviews make it easier for AI to recommend your company.
