Tradie Marketing That Actually Gets You Jobs

The best channels depend on your trade and your goals, but for most Australia tradies, this combination delivers the strongest results:

• Google (SEO + Ads) - for tradies, Google is where the money is. When someone's hot water dies at 9pm, they Google it. You need to be there.
• Google Business Profile - your free listing that appears in Maps results. Absolutely critical for local trades.
• Review platforms - Google reviews and word of mouth. Social proof closes the deal.

Social media (Facebook, Instagram) works better for brand building and staying top-of-mind with past customers, but it rarely generates immediate leads like Google does. We'll recommend the right mix based on your trade and budget.

A common rule of thumb is 5-10% of your target revenue. For a tradie doing $300K/year who wants to grow, that's roughly $1,250–$2,500/month across all marketing.

But here's the real question: what's a new customer worth to you? If the average plumbing job is $500 and our marketing brings you 10 extra jobs a month, that's $5,000 in revenue from maybe $1,500 in marketing spend. The maths speaks for itself.

Our packages start from $500/month and we always recommend starting lean, proving ROI, then scaling up. No point throwing money at something until you know it works.

Google Ads can generate leads within the first week - it's the fastest channel. SEO takes longer (typically 60-90 days for meaningful results) but compounds over time and eventually delivers free leads month after month.

Most of our tradie clients see their first new enquiries within 30 days of starting with us. By month 3, the system is usually humming. By month 6, you're wondering why you didn't start sooner.

You can absolutely start with one - and we often recommend it. Pick the channel with the highest impact for your situation:

• Need leads NOW? Start with Google Ads.
• Want long-term growth? Start with SEO.
• No website yet? Start with a tradie website.

Once you're seeing ROI from one channel, we layer on the next. This way you're never spending more than you're comfortable with, and every dollar is accountable.

We work with all trades across Australia - plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, painters, landscapers, concreters, tilers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, locksmiths, handymen, cleaners, rubbish removal, removalists, and more. If you're a tradie and you want more jobs, we can help.

Our strategies are different for each trade. A plumber's marketing needs are different from a builder's. We understand the seasonal patterns, the local market, and the buying behaviour of customers in each trade.

If your leads haven't increased within 90 days, we keep working at no charge until they do. That's it - no fine print, no weasel clauses. We only make money when you make money.

We also work month-to-month with no lock-in contracts. If we're not delivering results, you shouldn't be paying us. That's how confident we are in what we do.

Three things set us apart:

• We only work with tradies. We're not a generic agency that also does tradies on the side. Every strategy, template, and process is built for trade businesses.
• We speak your language. No jargon, no fluff. We report in phone calls and jobs booked, not "impressions" and "engagement rates".
• We have skin in the game. Month-to-month, no lock-ins, 90-day guarantee. If we don't deliver, we don't get paid. Simple.

We'd love to show you. On a free strategy call, we'll walk you through case studies relevant to your trade and your area. We'll show you the exact results we've delivered for tradies like you - real numbers, real businesses.

We don't publish full case studies publicly to protect our clients' competitive advantage, but we're happy to share details one-on-one. Book a free call and we'll show you what's possible.
