WEBSITES FOR TRADIES

More than 80% of potential customers search online before hiring a tradie. If you’re not online, you’re invisible to a huge portion of your market. Customers want to find trustworthy professionals quickly, see proof of their work, and contact them effortlessly. Without a website, you’re missing out on valuable opportunities to win new business.

At Vizuno, we understand the unique needs of tradies. We’ve helped businesses like Solid Projects WA, a relatively new property maintenance and improvement service based in Albany, achieve real results through effective web design, SEO, and ongoing marketing.

They had no online presence at all before engaging our services.

We built their website, created their social profiles, claimed and optimised their Google Business Profile, and integrated all of it into a online presence.

Now, Solid Projects WA is on page one of Google for their target keywords and are receiving a steady flow of enquiries. Here’s what they had to say:

A Tradie Website Tailored to Your Success

When you partner with Vizuno, we deliver more than just a basic website. We create an online presence that works for your business. Your customers are searching for local services on their phones, which is why our websites are mobile-friendly and optimised for performance.

We use proven SEO strategies to ensure your site ranks higher on Google, making it easier for customers to find you. We make sure customers can contact you effortlessly through click-to-call phone numbers, enquiry forms, and email links. You can showcase your best projects through photo galleries, before-and-after shots, and testimonials. Plus, we’ll connect your website to your social media accounts to help build trust and engagement.

Why Referrals and Directories Are Not Enough

Many tradies rely on word-of-mouth referrals, printed local directories, or online listings to generate business. While these methods have their place, they’re limited in reach and control. You can’t guarantee that a recommendation will land in front of the right customer at the right time. Directories often showcase your competitors alongside you, making it difficult to stand out.

Owning your own online asset, like a professional website, gives you a priceless marketing tool. It’s available 24/7, gives you full control over your brand message, and allows you to guide potential clients through your services and expertise. By owning your website, you’re not just competing—you’re leading the conversation with your audience.

Successful Tradies Cast the Largest Net

In Australia, most tradespeople thrive during economic booms when the demand for services is high. However, the truly successful tradies are those who prepare for both the good times and the tough times. They don’t just rely on temporary opportunities; instead, they establish a strong and sustainable business foundation by covering all bases.

One of the smartest moves is building and maintaining a robust online presence. Your website is an asset that you fully own and control, unlike temporary ads or external directories. It’s a long-term marketing tool that continues to generate enquiries and build trust even when the economy slows down. By investing in a website now, you’re positioning your business to stay competitive and resilient regardless of market conditions. The small businesses that have diversified lead generation avenues, including their own website, often weather downturns far better than those that don’t.

One Website – Multiple Opportunities for Leads

Having a professional website and an optimised Google Business Profile opens up multiple avenues to attract new customers. You’re not limited to a single way of being found online. Instead, you gain the ability to rank in several key areas that increase your visibility and trust with potential clients.

First, there are the organic search results. These are the main search listings on Google where websites appear based on relevance and SEO. With effective optimisation, your website can secure a prominent spot here, ensuring customers see you when they search for services.

Next, you can appear in the local map pack. This is the section on the search results page that highlights three nearby businesses, complete with a map, contact details, and reviews. It’s prime digital real estate, as customers often use it to quickly find local services.

Finally, your business can be featured directly in Google Maps. When potential clients search for tradespeople in their area, your optimised profile will help you stand out, showing essential information like your location, photos, and reviews.

With a well-integrated website and Google Business Profile, you’re positioned to capture leads through all of these channels, giving your business a competitive edge.

Google Business Profile Optimisation

In addition to building your website, we assist with claiming, setting up, and optimising your Google Business Profile. When done correctly, this profile becomes a powerful asset that can generate genuine enquiries through multiple channels. Customers can contact you directly via phone calls made from the profile, visit your website through a button click, send direct messages (if you choose to enable messaging), and even request directions if you have a physical business location rather than a service-area-based setup.

Your profile helps you appear in Google’s local search results and on Google Maps, where many customers look first when searching for services nearby. We ensure your profile is complete with essential details such as business hours, services, photos, and customer reviews. This builds trust and makes it easier for clients to choose you over competitors. By integrating your profile with your website, we create a seamless experience that boosts both visibility and credibility.

Ongoing Content Management and Optimisation

Building a website is just the first step. To maintain or strengthen your online visibility and authority, it’s essential to keep your content fresh, relevant, and targeted to your industry. We optimise your online presence through regular updates to your Google Business Profile, blog posts, and case studies—each tailored to attract customers and establish your business as a leader in your field.

By continuously refining your content strategy and maintaining your digital assets, you’ll strengthen both SEO performance and customer trust, leading to increased and higher-quality enquiries over time.

Paying for Ads vs SEO

You might be wondering whether it’s better to invest in paid advertising or focus on SEO. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be an either/or decision, both approaches can work together to deliver powerful results if your budget allows.

Paid ads, such as Google Ads or social media promotions, can generate leads quickly. They’re ideal for building brand awareness, boosting visibility when you need immediate results, such as during a special offer or launch. However, paid ads only work for as long as you’re paying for them. Once you stop the campaign, the traffic and enquiries cease.

On the other hand, SEO and content marketing are designed to build long-term visibility. It may take a few months to see significant results, but once your website starts ranking well, the benefits are more sustained. Even if you slow down your SEO efforts, your content will continue to attract organic traffic and enquiries.

By combining both strategies, you can maximise your marketing impact. Paid ads can drive immediate traffic to your site, while SEO builds trust and authority over time, ensuring a steady stream of leads for the future.

Training for DIY Content Creation

Prefer to take control of your website content yourself? We’ve got you covered. After your site is complete, we provide optional training sessions to help you understand how to create and publish content.

You’ll learn how to update service pages, post project photos, add blog entries, and respond to customer reviews. We empower you with the knowledge and tools to manage your site effectively, saving you time and money while keeping your online presence strong.
