Trades and local services

Most of the portfolio is trades, which means the pattern is familiar. A tradesperson does not need a beautiful website. They need the phone to ring with the right jobs, from the right suburbs, without spending the evening answering the same five questions.

The situation

The competition is usually not another good website, it is a site that has not been touched in a decade, a Facebook page, or nothing at all. That makes the bar low and the opportunity real.

The two things that actually decide whether someone calls are proof and clarity. Proof means photographs of finished work, ideally before and after. Clarity means it is obvious in three seconds what you do, where you do it, and whether you cover their street.

The third thing, which almost nobody does, is answering the questions that eat your phone time before they get asked. Do you do small jobs. Are you insured. How long is a quote valid. Every one of those on the site is a call you do not have to take.

What actually matters here

Photographs of real jobs, not stock

A gallery of your own work outperforms every design decision on the page. It is the single highest-value thing you can send us.

The service area, stated plainly

A list of suburbs or communes, on the page, in text. It answers the visitor and it is what local search ranks on.

One obvious action

Call, or request a quote. Not both competing for attention, and not a contact form buried at the bottom of a long page.

A Google Business Profile that matches

For a local trade this often drives more calls than the website itself. It has to be set up, filled in and consistent with the site.

FAQ

Common questions

I already get all my work from word of mouth. Why would I need a site?+

Because word of mouth still ends in a search. Someone recommends you, the next thing that happens is your name typed into Google. If nothing credible comes up, the recommendation has to work twice as hard. The site is not there to replace word of mouth, it is there to stop leaking it.

Do I need to be on Google Ads as well as SEO?+

Not necessarily. SEO compounds but takes months, ads work today but stop the moment you stop paying. If your diary is full, do SEO and wait. If you have capacity this month, ads fill it faster.

What do you need from me to start?+

Your services in your own words, photos of finished jobs, the areas you cover, and the one thing you want a visitor to do. That is genuinely it. We handle everything else.
