Search Engine Optimisation for Tradie Businesses
Show That You're An Expert In Your Trade
Get found online to land more clients and book better jobs
Like most tradies, you're likely advertising your business in the local paper, on marketplaces online, and maybe even with paid ads. Problem is, you feel like you're pouring money down the drain.
Your jobs and revenue aren't consistent. And you're not booking the bigger clients and higher-paying companies like you want to be.
Not only that, people are naturally skeptical online. They know the difference between a sponsored ad and an organic result. What do people trust more? The top-performing organic search results.
That's why SEO is so important for marketing a tradie business.

How tradies can capture more clients with SEO
What separates a well-known brand from a forgotten business? The brands that people remember and come back to again and again are top of mind for these customers.
SEO is a cost-effective solution to advertise your business, bring in more consistent leads, and get found by the right people that'll go from strangers to paying customers. It's a technical process to optimise a website for the algorithms of search engines, but it's absolutely vital if you want to grow your business.
Tradiemate's team of SEO specialists helps you rank higher on search engines without breaking the budget on paid advertising. Get found online by people willing to pay more for your services without you having to lift a finger.
After all, you're an expert in your Trade, not SEO. That's why we're here. We've got you, mate.

Stop Pouring Money Down The Drain
Online advertising can get expensive, fast
You don't have to tell us twice that paid advertising empties your pockets. When you aren't working with skilled advertising campaign managers, you're likely losing a lot of money trying to advertise your tradie business.
Advertising in papers and on local directors can also add up in costs. After paying all of these fees just to get more clients, the potential for your revenue goes way down.
Although paid ads are often most people's go-to online marketing strategies, they're not helping your business long-term.
SEO brings in organic traffic, which means people find you through a Google search without you having to pay per click. The cost of making those deals and sales is much lower.
SEO is the most cost-effective form of digital marketing in the long term.

To turn strangers into paying customers, you need to earn their trust.
Even if you've been running your tradie business for decades, SEO gives you the upper hand online.
Show new customers that you’re a legit and reputable business. Those willing to pay better, and especially other companies, are naturally discerning with their searches. They will do their research and see whether your online presence is strong.

You don't need to. Leave it to the experts.
Here's the thing. You've been investing in your skills as a tradie, not as a digital marketer.
We wouldn't expect you to know anything about how to optimise your website for search engines, just as you wouldn't expect us to go out on the job site and start working.
Establishing a strong organic presence online takes some work. For Tradiemate, it's what we live and breathe. For you, your time is best spent working on your business and doing what you do best.

What is SEO, and Why do Tradies Need It?
SEO stands for search engine optimisation. It's all about setting up your website for success. The goal is to make your website optimised to be in line with how the search engine algorithms work.
By considering the mechanisms that determine how these platforms, like Google, show results to people searching online, you can ensure that your site will rank higher. In simple terms, it's how you'll get found online by the people who want exactly what you are offering.
Get More High-Quality LeadsSEO Is A Long-Term Investment in Business Growth
Fact: Search Engine Optimisation is the best long-term marketing tradies can invest in
The reason why SEO works so well is that the results compound over time. While advertising is instant, it's only working when you're paying for those ads to run.
The more effort you put into optimising your website, the more chance it will have to be on top, day after day, without you spending extra budget.
We recommend a blended approach: SEO as the foundation of your marketing and advertising strategies to build on top of it.
You will need to invest in managing your site's SEO. Still, it's nothing like what you'll be spending trying to advertise your tradie business with traditional marketing and Google ads alone.

How SEO Boosts Your Business Success
Tradie Mate's expert SEO team brings decades of experience in optimising websites for Australian companies. Some of the ways your business will up-level when you implement SEO into your website.
Increase the value of your tradie business
Your business is an asset. When you show that you're an industry leader, you can significantly increase the value of your business compared to if you were only relying on paid traffic. The source of your website traffic is one area that affects how potential buyers value your company. If it's all coming from paid ads, how can they see that your business is doing well in the market? Anyone can create a business and run ads instantly, regardless of how well the business is actually doing. SEO helps you to show up on organic search results, driving higher website traffic from multiple sources. If you ever want to sell your business, you'll be in a position to demand a better price as your SEO efforts have raised the value of your business.
Get more customers profitably
One of the best ways to land more customers without breaking your budget is to invest in SEO services. You might be getting new customers with ads, but what did booking those jobs cost you? It's common for ads to cut into the profit margin substantially, leaving you with much less than you know you're worth. With SEO, it's easier for past customers to find you again (and we all know how good returning customers are for your profit margins). That'll give you a bigger budget to get new customers, and you'll be spending less to book your jobs.
Negotiate better trade business deals
The competition can be fierce when you're making deals with suppliers or other companies. One way to help negotiate better rates and deals is to prove your authority in the market. Ranking high on relevant search terms will help you do that. Suppliers and collaborators will research and determine whether your tradie business is worth working with. A well-ranked website is a clear sign that your tradie business is 'in it for the long haul.' They'll be more likely to negotiate aggressive pricing when you're doing well in Google search results.
Grow Your Tradie Business With Search Engine Optimisation
Whether you've got a new tradie business or you've been running for decades, you want your company to grow. You need a profitable digital marketing strategy incorporating SEO to book more jobs and build a bigger team. Long-term growth can't be reached with Google ads alone. As soon as you turn those ads off, your website is invisible again. People won't be able to find you in the same way they did before. Make it easier for your potential clients to find you and return customers to book more jobs by optimising your website the right way. When you work with Tradie Mate, our team of SEO experts will help you achieve your business goals while you stay focused on delivering great results.

How much does SEO cost?
The cost of SEO depends on many different factors, like the scope of the services, your industry, and the expertise of the SEO firm. SEO packages range from simple once-off backend optimisation, to in-depth ongoing management of your online presence. To learn about Tradie Mate's pricing structure and what you get, give us a call today.
What's the best targeted SEO strategy for Tradies: local or organic-broad reach?
The best targeted SEO strategy for Australian tradies will depend on their goals, the target customers, and their budget. Local SEO is extremely effective as tradies are often looking to book jobs close to home (lowering the cost of transport and supplies). Broad-reach SEO can be helpful for long-term success in the SEO strategy, to have you show up as an authority in the surrounding areas, coming out on top among all other tradie websites. For better online visibility and to make more sales, a blend of both approaches is best.
How is Tradie Mate different from other SEO companies?
Tradie Mate works specifically with Australian tradie businesses. Most other SEO companies are generalists. They might know their way around SEO, but do they know much about the Australian trade business market? Our team is made up of experts in SEO for tradies, with decades of experience in online marketing and dedicated to getting you the absolute best results.
What is SEO, in simple words?
SEO stands for search engine optimisation. It is all about getting your website to show up on search engines when people search for what your business offers. When they type in "plumber in my area," if the SEO has been done well, your website shows up first in the organic (non-paid ads) results.
Is doing local SEO worth it?
Definitely. For tradies wanting to improve their online visibility, save money from expensive advertising, and take away more profit from your jobs, local SEO is worth it for tradies. Since it is about targeting people searching for your services in your area, you are making sure that your website is being shown to the best-targeted potential customers. With so much competition, every tradie wants to stand out in their local market.
How to do local SEO for my Tradie business?
Local SEO involves in-depth keyword research for your industry, niche, and potential customer. It also includes optimising the Google My Business profile, building backlinks from local sites, using customer reviews, and more. Learn more about how Trade Mate can help you with local SEO efforts to get your site seen by the right people.
