Tradie Websites That Get You More Jobs
Stop losing jobs to competitors with better websites. Get a professional tradie website that generates leads, builds trust, and converts visitors into paying customers across Melbourne.
Common Problems With Tradie Websites
Paying Too Much for Lead Generation
Websites like hipages, ServiceSeeking, and True Local charge $30-80 per lead, and you're competing with 5 other tradies. A professional website with good SEO generates free organic leads that contact only you.
Customers Can't Find You Online
When someone searches "electrician near me" or "emergency plumber Melbourne," do you appear? Without a proper website and local SEO, you're invisible to customers actively looking for your services right now.
No Trust or Credibility
Customers research online before calling. Without a professional website showing your licenses, insurance, past work, and reviews, they'll choose a competitor who looks more legitimate and established.
Time Wasted on Tire Kickers
Answering the same questions about pricing, availability, and services wastes billable hours. Online quote forms and FAQs pre-qualify leads so you only talk to serious customers ready to book.
Website Doesn't Work on Phones
Over 70% of tradie searches happen on mobile phones. If your website is hard to navigate on a smartphone or the phone number isn't clickable, you're losing jobs to mobile-friendly competitors.
Losing Jobs to Bad Reviews
Negative reviews on Google hurt, but not responding or having nowhere to showcase your best reviews is worse. Display 5-star testimonials prominently and build social proof that wins jobs.

Tradie Website FAQs
How will a website help me get more jobs as a tradie?
A professional website makes you visible in Google searches when customers look for services like "plumber near me" or "electrician Melbourne." It builds trust by showcasing your licenses, past work, and customer reviews. Plus, online quote forms capture leads 24/7 even when you're on the tools, and you stop paying per-lead fees to platforms like hipages.
Can I update my website myself or add new projects?
Yes! All our tradie websites include an easy content management system. You can add project photos, update services, change pricing, and manage your content from your phone or computer. No technical skills needed - if you can use Facebook, you can update your website. We provide training on launch day.
Do I need to pay for hipages or ServiceSeeking if I have a website?
Not necessarily. While those platforms can generate leads initially, they're expensive ($30-80 per lead) and you compete with multiple tradies. A well-optimized website generates free organic leads through Google search. Many of our tradie clients reduce or eliminate their lead generation subscriptions within 3-6 months as their website starts ranking and generating direct inquiries.
How long before I start getting leads from my website?
You'll start getting some leads immediately through Google My Business and direct traffic. For organic Google search rankings, it typically takes 3-6 months to build momentum, depending on competition in your area and service. We can also set up Google Ads for immediate lead generation while your SEO builds. Most tradies see ROI within the first few months.
What if I'm not tech-savvy and need help?
That's exactly why we build websites specifically for tradies - we know you're busy on the tools, not behind a computer. We handle all the technical stuff, provide simple training, and offer ongoing support. If you can send a text message, you can manage your tradie website. We're always here to help if you get stuck.
Will my website work with my existing tools like ServiceM8 or Tradify?
Absolutely! We can integrate your website with popular tradie software like ServiceM8, Tradify, AroFlo, and others. When someone requests a quote through your website, it can automatically create a job in your management system. This eliminates double-handling and keeps everything in one place for easier job tracking.
