For Australian Tradies & Local Service Businesses
Get Found on Google in 7 Days
One job a day for a week. No agency, no jargon — just the exact moves that get a tradie showing up when locals search.
The honest truth: if you don't show up when someone searches "[your trade] near me", you don't exist to them — no matter how good your work is.
Most tradies are invisible on Google not because they're doing anything wrong, but because nobody ever set the basics up. Good news: those basics are a week's worth of small jobs, and you can do them between quotes. Here's the exact order.
Day 1 — Claim and verify your Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile (the listing with your name, map pin, and reviews) is what shows up in local searches and the map pack. It's free, and it matters more than your website for getting found locally.
- Search your business name on Google. If a listing exists, claim it. If not, create one.
- Verify it (Google sends a code by post, phone, or video). Nothing ranks until you're verified, so start this today — the wait is the slow part.
Day 2 — Fill it out completely
A half-finished profile gets buried. A complete one gets shown. Google rewards detail.
- Primary category — be specific ("Electrician", not "Contractor"), then add secondary categories for what else you do.
- Services and service areas — list the actual jobs you do and the suburbs you cover.
- Hours, phone, and a real description — plain, honest, what you do and where.
Day 3 — Add real photos
Listings with photos get far more calls than ones without. Real beats polished.
- Add your logo, a van shot, the team, and 5–10 photos of finished jobs.
- Keep adding a few every week — Google sees an active profile as a live business.
The rest is free — 10 seconds

Frequently asked questions
Will I really rank in 7 days?+
You won't outrank a 10-year-old competitor in a week — but you'll go from invisible to actually showing up, especially in the map pack, which is where local jobs come from. The 7 days fixes the foundations almost every tradie has wrong. Ranking higher then compounds from there.
Do I need a website for this to work?+
Your Google Business Profile does most of the heavy lifting for local searches, so you can start today without one. But a fast, properly built website backs it up and lifts your ranking — the two work together.
Is this just for one trade?+
No. The playbook works for any local service business — plumbers, sparkies, builders, landscapers, cleaners. The searches change; the moves don't.
What if I don't have time to do it myself?+
That's most tradies — you're on the tools, not at a desk. Book a quick call and we'll set the whole lot up for you and keep it running, so you just take the jobs that come in.
