The three main parts

What tradie SEO is made of.

Google Business Profile

Gets you on the map. Categories, service areas, photos and reviews, done properly.

A page for every job

One page per service, so each can rank for the search that describes it.

Local trust signals

Reviews, job photos and the same business details everywhere.

Why one services page is not enough

Each job gets its own page.

Separate pages that each rank

  • Blocked drains
  • Hot water systems
  • Emergency plumbing
  • Gas fitting

One "Plumbing Services" page

  • Lists everything at once
  • Competes for one broad term
  • Matches nobody’s exact search
  • Usually weak for SEO

No fine print

Before you hand anything over, here is exactly where you stand

The questions a sensible tradie asks before paying a small business every month. Straight answers.

What does it cost?

$237 a month on Essential, $487 on Growth, $887 on Dominate, with no setup fee for the website. One predictable price with hosting, security and maintenance already in it.

What do I pay upfront?

Nothing. No deposit. We design your homepage and show you. You only pay once you are happy with it and you want us to build the rest of your site.

Can I leave?

Any time. Every plan is month to month. No lock in contract and no exit fee. We would rather earn it each month than trap you in a year.

Who owns the domain?

You do. We help you register a new one or point the one you already have, and it stays in your name.

Common questions

Tradie SEO questions.

Anything else? All questions, or text us.

How long does SEO take for tradies?

Google profile and website fixes can help quickly. Stronger organic growth usually takes a few months.

Is SEO better than Google Ads?

They do different jobs. Ads are fast and stop when you stop paying. SEO builds visibility you keep. Many tradies use both.

Can you guarantee a number one ranking?

No, and nobody honest can. What we put in writing is the 100 Day Guarantee on enquiries, on Growth and Dominate.

Can you do SEO on a website you didn’t build?

Yes. If your website is sorted, we can take on SEO for the site you already have. It’s quoted to what the site needs, and there’s no rebuild or host switch unless you want one.

Do you do tradie SEO in Melbourne?

Yes. Melbourne is where Tom is based and where most of our work is. We work anywhere in Australia too.
