Keywords for drainage contractors, sorted by what the homeowner wants
A drainage company does not need every search that mentions a french drain. It needs the ones typed by a homeowner who is ready to ask for a site visit. This page lists those keywords for drainage contractors, tiered by run length, with the page and the stake each one belongs to.
How the keyword list was staked
These are keywords for drainage contractors, gathered from a pull of 337 real Google searches around french drains, yard drainage and drainage installation. We sort them by what the homeowner is asking, because a company that sells bids is served by a different list than a company that sells pipe. Searches that ask for a crew become pages and campaigns. Searches that ask for a how-to or a part are left out, and we say which ones below.
Each phrase is printed as it was typed, in lower case. Where a table shows a run length, it is a band and not a count: Long run, Mid run, Short run and Stub run, from the biggest searches to the smallest. Searches about price and cost are plentiful in this pull and are not printed here, because any figure on a page belongs to the company that writes the bid.

Questions about this list of drainage keywords
Why does the list leave out price searches?
The pull holds a long block of price and cost phrases. A figure on a page is a claim about the company's own jobs, so it is the owner's to write, and we print none of them here.
How often is the list reread?
We reread it when a new town or a new drain job goes onto the plan, and at the owner's walk at the end of a month. The numbers behind it are a Google pull, so treat the run lengths as a rough sort and not a forecast.
Can a company ask for a phrase to be added?
Yes. Send the phrase and the town with the note on the contact page, and it goes onto the next reread.
Send us the drain jobs you want searched for
Tell us which french drain, yard drainage or downspout jobs your crews want more of, and in which towns. You can mark a call slot on the form if you would rather talk it through.
Which towns and which drain jobs go first?
Name the towns where a crew has an open day, then the drain work you would like to fill it with: french drains, yard drainage, downspout lines, catch basins, dry wells. Short is fine. Leave homeowner names and street numbers out.
Drive the first stake with our CEO
Mark a weekday slot on the contact form and Ross Cohen, our CEO, will call you then to walk through the towns and drain jobs you want booked more often.
