4. Using Content Packs for Plumbing

Because plumbing is:

  • Highly seasonal, and
  • Full of clear emergency vs preventive topics,

it’s a perfect fit for a content pack approach:

  • Fill Q4–Q1 with emergency and winter content.
  • Use shoulder months to build water heater, repiping, and water quality guides.
  • Layer in local references (climate, housing stock, common systems) during review.

The result is a content library that:

  • Explains what’s happening when something goes wrong.
  • Shows you know how to fix it.
  • Makes it easy to call you when it’s time.
