WebGlobals builds call-first websites, local SEO and Google Ads for Australian tradies: plumbers, electricians, builders, landscapers, HVAC and every trade in between. Tradie website design from $450 ex GST, SEO for tradies from $750 a month, and Google Ads management from $750 a month plus spend, with missed-call text-back and monthly reporting that counts booked jobs. Managed from Parramatta, Western Sydney, since 2017.
Trades marketing is not about awards or clever branding. It is about being visible at the moment of need and being dead easy to call. Someone’s switchboard trips, they grab their phone, and they call the first business that looks trustworthy and answers. We have built for Australian trades and home-service businesses since 2017, plumbers, electricians, drainers, painters and HVAC among them, and the work always comes down to the same three things: show up in local search, run ads that only cost money when someone is ready to book, and never let an enquiry go cold.
Tradie website design has one job: turn a 9pm search on a cracked phone screen into a phone call. So every WebGlobals trades site is built mobile-first with a tap-to-call button on every screen, your service areas and licence number where a customer looks for them, a quote form that lands in your CRM, and reviews pulled from Google. It loads in under 2.5 seconds on a mobile connection, because a customer standing in a flooding laundry will not wait for a hero video. Plumber website design, electrician, builder, landscaper: the structure is the same and the content is specific to your trade, your suburbs and the jobs you actually want.
Web design for tradies starts at $450 ex GST for a static three-pager, or $750 for a three-page WordPress site you can edit yourself. Most trades choose Growth at $1,350: up to six pages, one for each service, which is also what local SEO needs. Every build ships with Squirrly SEO configured, your Google Business Profile linked and 30 days of support. See the full web design service and our website design packages, or read why every trades business needs a website that converts.
SEO for tradies is mostly local SEO, and local SEO is mostly discipline. A complete Google Business Profile with the right primary category and service areas. The same name, address and phone on every directory. A page for each service and each main suburb, so a search for emergency plumber Blacktown lands on a page about emergency plumbing in Blacktown. Genuine reviews requested after every job, automatically. A fast site that Google trusts. Done properly it puts a tradie in the Map pack for the searches that pay, without paying per click.
SEO for plumbers and SEO for electricians follow the same playbook with different pages: plumbers win on emergency and hot water terms, electricians on switchboard, safety switch and EV charger terms, builders on renovation and extension terms by suburb. Our local SEO for trades starts at $750 a month for ten tracked keywords, targeted to the postcodes you actually service, and we publish the rankings every month. Our guide to local SEO for electricians, plumbers and builders walks through the method.
SEO takes weeks. Ads take days. Google Ads for tradies targets the exact jobs and postcodes you want, excludes the ones you do not, and only costs money when someone clicks. Local Services Ads add the Google Guaranteed badge and pay per lead rather than per click. Management is from $750 a month plus your ad spend, and most trades start with $1,000 to $2,000 a month in spend. Our article on what a good tradie campaign looks like goes through it step by step.
You cannot answer the phone from under a sink. Every WebGlobals trades setup includes missed-call text-back: the caller gets an SMS within a minute saying you are on a job and will call straight back, and the enquiry is logged in LeadGenie so it is not forgotten. For businesses that want the call answered properly, an AI phone agent picks up, qualifies the job and books it into your calendar, around the clock.
