Water wells, pumps and windmills across the Texas Hill Country. We drill new wells, service and replace pumps, and repair and maintain mechanical windmills — including the ones nobody else will still work on. If your pump has failed and your livestock need water today, call us; we will tell you on the phone what we think it is and bring the parts for it.
Why this site, and what we are NOT claiming. Royall's are already busy
and do not need more customers. That makes them the wrong site for proving marketing lift and
exactly the right one for proving the measurement reads — because the phone already rings.
When the tracked number records a call, the honest claim is “the chain works end to
end”, not “we caused that call”. Those are different sentences and we will keep
them apart.

The engine refuses to propose any paid spend while any of these are outstanding. That gate is why question one cannot be finished by software alone.

2. Organic social — five posts, written
Needs: a connected account · posting takes minutes
Each of these answers something a well owner actually searches for at the moment their pump fails. They are written to be useful whether or not anyone calls.
If your pump clicks on and off every few minutes, it is almost never the pump.
It is nearly always the pressure tank waterlogged — the air cushion has gone and the pump now starts every time anyone opens a tap. Left alone it will burn the pump out. Tap the tank low down and then high up: if it sounds full of water all the way up, that is your answer.
A windmill is not nostalgia if the alternative is trenching power half a mile.
No electricity, no fuel, no controller and nothing to fail in a storm. On remote acreage the maths still works, and the parts that wear — leathers and rods — are cheap and replaceable.
Find your well log before you need it.
It records what the driller hit and at what depth, and it is the single most useful document a well owner has. Most people have never looked for it, and the day the pump fails is a bad day to start.
Sand in the water that appeared suddenly is different from sand that built up slowly.
Slowly is usually a screen doing its job less well over years. Suddenly usually means something has failed down the hole, and it is worth a look before it gets expensive.
No water at all? Check three things before you call anyone.
Is the breaker on. Is the pressure gauge at zero or normal. Can you hear the pump run. Those three answers tell a well man most of what he needs, and they turn a callout into a repair with the right part on the truck.
3. Trade directories
Needs: somebody to submit · one-time, permanent
| Directory | Where | Why | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Business Profile | google.com/business | The single highest-return one for a local trade. It IS the map pack. | confirmed |
| Bing Places | bingplaces.com | Can usually be imported directly from the Google profile in a couple of clicks. | confirmed |
| Facebook Page | facebook.com | Rural word of mouth runs through Facebook more than any other channel. | confirmed |
| Nextdoor | nextdoor.com | Neighbour recommendations for trades; strong in rural and semi-rural areas. | confirmed |
| Yelp | biz.yelp.com | Lower value for this trade than for restaurants, but free. | confirmed |
| Better Business Bureau | bbb.org | Older rural customers still check it. | confirmed |
| Texas water well trade associations | — | There are state-level driller associations and a state licensing body; the exact directories and whether they list members publicly need checking before submitting. | NEEDS CHECKING |
The last row is marked as needing checking rather than listed as fact — we have not verified which Texas trade associations publish a member directory, and guessing would put you in front of a dead form.
4. Direct outreach
Needs: a decision on whether Royall's want the work
This is the one channel where the answer might legitimately be no. Royall's are at capacity. Outreach that generates work they cannot service damages them rather than helping.
The version that makes sense for a busy trade is not customer outreach at all — it is referral outreach. Well owners are found by the people who meet them first: rural estate agents, ranch managers, septic and drilling contractors who do not do pumps, and property inspectors. Ten conversations there is worth more than a thousand cold emails, and it does not flood them with retail calls.
Then, and only then
Unlocks automatically
With 7 of 7 free channels done, propose_experiments stops refusing and the
engine will propose its first paid test — with a stated amount, the question it answers,
and the rule that kills it. That is the sixth job, currently sitting at zero, and it is the last
of question one's headroom.
Question two, separately and cheaply
Needs: $30/month · Paul
A tracked number on this site records calls that are already happening. Within days, “did the phone ring” stops being zero — honestly, because it did, and we measured it. That is a real answer to Tim for the price of a takeaway.
