The page for your trade, every time. Somebody typing “plumber near me” needs to land on a page about plumbing, not a page about tradies in general. This page exists to explain the approach and tie the individual trade pages together. If you run four trades you want four pages that can each win on their own, not one page that hedges.
Because you are reading it. Owners and marketers search this way when they are working out who to hire, even though their customers never do. It is a research page, not a lead page. The lead pages are the ones named after your trade, and that is a deliberate split rather than an accident.
Three to six months for movement, six to twelve before it is a real part of your lead flow. Map pack improvements can land faster, sometimes inside a month, because a Google Business Profile fix does not wait on Google recrawling your whole site. If someone promises you page one in a fortnight, ask them to put it in the contract.
Both in most cases, and the order depends on how fast you need work. Trade clicks are the most expensive in the country, up to $37.78 for a plumber, so Google Ads buys you jobs this month while SEO builds underneath it. SEO compounds, Ads stop the day the card does. We will tell you which end to start.
Every trade, yes, if you genuinely run it and want work from it. Suburbs are different. Only the ones you actually service and can realistically win. Twenty thin suburb pages with the name swapped out is worse than four good ones, and Google worked that trick out a decade ago.
No, and that is unusual. Most industries have a season worth timing. Trade demand does not. “Plumber near me” held at 49,500 searches a month for six straight months. The only thing timing changes is how long you have been building while your competitors have not.
Most of our book is trades and local service businesses. Roofing, painting, concreting, electrical, pest control, cleaning. Same map pack, same suburb pages, same problem. Happy to put you in touch with one of them before you commit.
No, and nobody who says otherwise should be trusted with your money. What we will do is show you every number, every month, including the ones that do not flatter us.
