Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SEO for Australian tradies, how we work, and what to expect.
How does SEO help my trade business?
SEO gets your business ranking higher on Google for the jobs your customers are actually searching for. When a plumber searches for 'emergency plumber near me', a roofer for 'roof repairs Perth', or a builder for 'home builder Brisbane', SEO puts you at the top. More visibility equals more phone calls.
How long does SEO take to work?
Most tradies see noticeable results within 3-6 months, depending on how competitive your keywords are. Local SEO often shows results faster than broader terms. We're transparent about timelines and realistic about what's achievable in your market.
What does SEO cost?
Pricing depends on your trade, location, and competition. We customise plans to your budget and goals. Unlike expensive generalist agencies, we charge fairly for trade businesses. Book a free consultation first, and we'll show you exact pricing based on your situation.
Do you lock me into a long contract?
No. We offer month-to-month agreements. You can cancel anytime. We prove results, not trap you in contracts. If our SEO strategy works (and it should), you'll want to stay. If it doesn't, you can leave.
Which trades do you specialise in?
We work with electricians, plumbers, roofers, builders, painters, HVAC, landscapers, pest control, locksmiths, and more. Basically, if you're a tradie business in Australia, we've got expertise in your niche.
Do you work nationwide or just in certain cities?
We work nationwide across Australia. We've helped tradies rank in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Gold Coast, and every suburb in between. No matter where you work, we can rank you locally.
What's included in your SEO service?
Keyword research, on-page optimisation, local SEO (Google My Business, citations, local content), content creation, backlink strategy, and monthly reporting. We handle all the technical work so you can focus on running your business.
How do you track results?
Monthly reports show your rankings, the keywords bringing in calls, the traffic to your site, and the business impact. We measure success by phone calls and jobs booked, not vanity metrics. You see everything.
Should I do SEO or Google Ads?
SEO and Google Ads work well together, but they're different. Ads give you immediate visibility (but cost money per click). SEO takes time but delivers long-term, cost-effective rankings. Many successful trades do both. We can help you decide what's right for your budget.
Can you guarantee rankings?
No agency can legitimately guarantee rankings. Anyone who promises '#1 guaranteed' is lying. Google algorithms change, competition changes, and search intent changes. We promise honest work, transparent reporting, and a focus on real business results, not just rankings.
What if I already have a website?
Great. We audit it, optimise it for SEO, and start building authority. Your website is an asset we can improve. If it needs a redesign, we also offer SEO web design built specifically for ranking tradies.
How do I get started?
Start with a free consultation. We'll analyse where you currently rank, who's beating you, and what it'll take to get to page one. From there, we'll create a customised strategy and pricing.
Do you only do SEO or do you offer other services?
We specialise in SEO, but we also offer Google Ads, AI search optimisation (GEO), SEO web design, and link building. Everything is designed to help tradies rank and win high-value jobs.
What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses on getting you to rank in specific suburbs and areas where you work. Regular SEO is broader. For tradies, local SEO is crucial because customers search 'electrician near me' or 'plumber in Perth'. We build both.
Can you help me rank for 'near me' searches?
Yes. Local SEO including Google My Business optimisation, local citations, and suburb-specific content makes you visible in 'near me' searches. That's where most tradie customers start their search.
What happens if Google changes its algorithm?
Google updates algorithms regularly. That's normal. We stay current with algorithm changes, test strategies, and adjust your campaign to stay ahead. Our team monitors Google updates so you don't have to.
