Who builds a list of plumbing businesses

This page is for people who sell to this trade, not for people who need one.

A list of plumbing businesses is bought by people who sell to plumbers, not by people who need one: web designers and marketing agencies that work with trades, plumbing supply distributors, field-service and invoicing software, lead-generation services, and insurers. If you are looking for a plumber for your own house, this is not the page — Google Maps itself is.

The lists sold for this purpose go stale the month they are compiled — businesses open, close, move and change owners constantly. A list you build yourself from Google Maps is current to the day you ran it, costs nothing on the free plan, and covers exactly the territory you asked for. The rest of this page is how.

How many plumbing businesses there are

111,207 employer plumbing businesses in the United States, 77% of them with fewer than ten employees.

That national figure is from the U.S. Census Bureau's County Business Patterns, which counts every business with at least one paid employee by industry and county. The share under ten employees matters more than the total: those are the independents who make their own purchasing decisions, and they are the majority of this trade.

The Census groups plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors under one code, NAICS 238220. The count on this page and on the HVAC page is the same figure and describes both trades together.

The seven largest metros, from the same source, densest first. The full breakdown with national comparisons is on the how many plumbing businesses are in the US page.

What a Google Maps listing tells you about a plumbing business

The listing is a better prospecting signal than a purchased record, because it shows how the business presents itself right now.

Plumbing is one of the trades where a large share of the businesses are one or two people and a van. On Google Maps that shows up plainly: a listing with a phone number and no website, an email at gmail.com or none at all, a handful of reviews, and hours that say "open 24 hours" because nobody set them. These are real, busy businesses that have never had a reason to build a web presence — which is exactly why they are the best prospects for anyone who builds them.

Filters that matter for plumbers

These are the columns worth sorting a list of this trade by. Each one is captured by the extension and exported alongside the contact data.

  1. No website

    The strongest single signal in this trade. A plumber with no site is running on referrals and Maps alone.

  2. Under 10 reviews

    Low review counts at a trade business mean no system for collecting them — and no one managing the profile.

  3. Email at a free provider

    A gmail.com or yahoo.com address on a business listing means no domain, which means no website either.

  4. Hours not set

    A listing with default or missing hours has not been touched since it was created. Nobody is managing it.

How to build the list

Four steps, in your browser, on the free plan.

  1. Search Google Maps for "plumber" in your territory

    Any city, any radius. The extension reads whatever the map is showing, so the territory is whatever you searched.

  2. Run a scan

    Local Scan takes the results on screen. Radius Scan sweeps an area around a point. Auto Scan works through a list of cities while you do something else.

  3. Enrich the results

    The extension visits each business's website and profile to find a public email, an owner name, social profiles, and the signals the filters above depend on.

  4. Filter, then export

    Sort by the filters that matter for plumbers, keep the rows worth contacting, and export to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets or JSON.

What you get for each business

Every row is a business from the map, with the contact and profile fields the enrichment pass could find.

From the listing

Present for every business.

  • Business name and category
  • Address, city, state
  • Phone number
  • Website, or whether one exists
  • Rating and review count
  • Google Maps URL and Place ID

From enrichment

Best-effort. Depends on what the business has published.

  • Public email address
  • Owner or decision-maker name
  • Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and other profiles
  • Opening hours
  • Website platform and whether it has a contact form

Derived

Computed to help you sort a long list.

  • Days since the last review
  • Unanswered review count
  • Owner response rate
  • Google Business Profile completeness
  • Pain Score (0–10)

No tool can produce an email a business never published. Where enrichment looks and finds nothing, the export says so explicitly rather than leaving a blank — so a list of plumbing businesses with a real email in every row is smaller than the full list, and that is the honest number.

Questions

Is this a list of plumbers I can download?
No. This page describes how to build one yourself from Google Maps using a free Chrome extension. That is deliberate: a list you build today is current today, and it covers your territory rather than a vendor's. A list you buy was compiled months ago for everyone.
How many of them will have an email address?
It varies by trade and by how the business presents itself online. Enrichment finds an email where the business has published one on its website or profile; where it has not, no tool can invent one. Expect a meaningful share of rows to have a phone and no email, and treat the phone as the contact for those.
Why is the count by county rather than by city?
Because that is the finest geography the Census publishes business counts at. The table above names the county — Harris County, not Houston — so the number describes what it actually measured. Two of the seven, Philadelphia and New York City, are coterminous with their counties, so there the city name is exact.
What does the free plan cover?
500 leads a month, 50 a day, and 250 enrichments a month, with no card required. That is enough to build a working list for one trade in one metro. Paid plans raise those limits; see pricing.
