What Being Invisible on Google Actually Costs You

Every day you’re not on page 1, someone in your area is Googling your exact service and calling your competitor instead. Here’s what that looks like:

46%

of all Google searches have local intent. Nearly half the people searching are looking for someone nearby.

76%

of people who search for a local service on their phone visit a business within 48 hours.

28%

of those local searches result in a purchase. That’s money going to whoever shows up first.

What We Do

SEO for Tradies Isn’t the Same as Normal SEO

You don’t need to rank nationally. You need to rank in your service area, for the services you actually do. That’s a completely different game — and it’s one we play every day.

📍

Google Maps / 3-Pack Ranking

The map results at the top of Google get the most clicks. We optimise your Google Business Profile, build local citations, and get you into that 3-pack for your trade + suburb.

📄

Service Area Pages

We build dedicated pages for each suburb you work in. So when someone searches “electrician Werribee” or “plumber Melton,” your site shows up — not a generic directory.

📝

Content That Ranks

Monthly blog posts targeting the questions your customers actually ask. “How much does rewiring cost?” “Best time to get gutters cleaned?” Each post is a new door into your website from Google.

Review Strategy

More Google reviews = higher rankings. We set up automated follow-ups after every job so you consistently build reviews without lifting a finger.

SEO vs HiPages vs Google Ads

Three ways to get found online. Only one builds an asset you own.

HiPages / Oneflare Google Ads Local SEO
Cost Per Lead $30-80+ per lead $20-100+ per click Decreases over time
Leads Shared? ❌ Up to 5 tradies per lead ✓ Exclusive to you ✓ 100% yours
Stops Working When You Stop Paying? ❌ Instantly ❌ Instantly ✓ Keeps working
Builds Long-Term Value ❌ Zero ❌ Zero ✓ Compounds monthly
Trust Factor Low — people know it’s a directory Medium — marked as “Ad” High — organic = trusted

SEO is the only channel where your results get better the longer you invest. Month 1 is good. Month 6 is great. Month 12 is a machine.

Case Study

LCK Electrical: From Invisible to Page 1

LCK Electrical came to us with a basic website that wasn’t generating any enquiries from Google. Their competitors were dominating local searches while they relied entirely on word of mouth and HiPages.

We rebuilt their site with local SEO baked in from day one, created service area pages for their key suburbs, and optimised their Google Business Profile.

SEO Questions Tradies Actually Ask

Most tradies see their first enquiries from Google within 30-60 days. Rankings build progressively — month 3 is significantly better than month 1, and month 6 is where it really starts compounding. SEO is a long-term play, but the results last.

Not necessarily. If your current site is on a solid platform (like WordPress) and loads fast, we can optimise what you have. If it’s a Wix site from 2018 that takes 8 seconds to load, we’ll probably recommend a rebuild — which is included in the plan at no extra cost.

Google Ads puts you at the top instantly, but you pay per click and it stops the moment you turn it off. SEO takes longer to build but the results compound over time and you don’t pay per click. Most tradies do best with SEO as the foundation, then adding Ads for an immediate boost while SEO builds.

Anyone who “guarantees #1 on Google” is lying. What we do guarantee: if you don’t get at least 5 new enquiries from Google in your first 90 days, we work for free until you do. That’s a results guarantee, not a rankings promise — because enquiries are what actually matters.

Especially for solo tradies. You don’t have the time to chase leads on directories or spend hours on marketing. SEO works while you’re on the tools. Once it’s set up and building, your phone rings with qualified local jobs without you doing anything.

Almost nothing. We handle the SEO, the content, the technical work, and the reporting. All we need from you is a few photos of your work, access to your Google Business Profile, and 15 minutes a month to review your report. That’s it.
