Digital Marketing Tribe is a tradie SEO agency for plumbers, electricians, concreters, builders, solar installers, removalists and every trade where the job starts with a phone call. Local SEO for the Maps pack, service and suburb pages that rank, reviews that convert, and Google Ads for the urgent jobs. AJ Concreting went from zero to 61 leads in 20 days. No lock-in contracts, everything in-house.

Nobody scrolls to page two for a plumber. A burst pipe at 9pm becomes "emergency plumber near me" and a call to whichever of the three Maps pack listings answers first. A homeowner planning a driveway searches "concreters [suburb]" and rings the two with the most recent reviews. A business fitting out an office searches "commercial electrician sydney" and shortlists from the organic results. Tradie SEO is the work of being the business that shows up, in Google Maps, in the organic results and now in the AI answers above both, for every one of those moments.
Our approach is built around search intent rather than keyword lists. Every trade query is a Know, Go, Do or Buy moment, and each needs a different page and a different measure of success. "How much does a new switchboard cost" needs an honest pricing guide. "Electrician open now [suburb]" needs a Google Business Profile with the right hours and a service-area page that says so. We map your service area that way, win the suburb and service terms first, and build the authority to take the wider city terms after.
Since 2025 that also means AI search. Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity now answer "who is a good electrician in Marrickville" directly, and they recommend businesses that are described consistently across their own site, their Google Business Profile, hipages and the licensing bodies. We build those signals and track them monthly, alongside rankings and calls.
Published case studies and named clients. Every number is from a published case study.
A brand-new concreting business with no customers and no digital footprint: 61 qualified leads in the first 20 days from $800 of Google Ads spend, averaging four leads a day, and a full job pipeline almost immediately.
Search Console impressions from 46,800 to 82,900 in six months and contact form submissions up 550% for a Western Sydney cooling tower specialist, with phone clicks up 160%.
A new website and optimised SEO for a Sydney electrical contractor. In the owner's words on Google: "revamped my business with a fantastic website and optimised SEO, significantly enhancing our online presence."
We also work with Grid Electrics Group, Precise Plumbing & Electrical, JC Energy and a run of solar and electrical companies, and Right-Way Relocations in removals.
Six disciplines, delivered by our own team, priced by scope rather than by the hour.
Google Business Profile optimisation with the right trade categories, service areas, photos of real jobs and a review request system, citations in hipages, Yellow Pages and the licensing directories, and a rank grid across the suburbs you actually service.
A page for every service and every high-value suburb: hot water systems, switchboard upgrades, driveways, solar installs, emergency call-outs. Each mapped to what customers search and what they ask before they call.
Cost guides, "what is involved" pages and job photos with captions, written by people who understand the trade. Real project photos beat stock images in Google Maps and in AI answers.
Plumber, Electrician, HomeAndConstructionBusiness and FAQ schema, licence numbers and consistent business data across the web, so ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews name your business when a homeowner asks who to call.
Site speed, click-to-call buttons, quote forms that work on a phone and call tracking so you know which suburb pages produce jobs. Most trade searches happen on a phone, on site.
Search campaigns for emergency and high-value terms while the organic work compounds, with negative keywords that keep "jobs", "course" and "DIY" clicks out of your budget. AJ Concreting's 61 leads started here.
A full technical, content and local audit of your site and Google Business Profile, then the same audit of the tradies currently holding the Maps pack and the service terms in your suburbs.
Every keyword sorted into Know, Go, Do or Buy intent and mapped to a service page, a suburb page or a cost guide, with the AI answer it needs to be cited in. You see the plan before we touch the site.
Categories, service areas, hours, job photos and posts fixed, directory listings made consistent, review requests switched on. This is the fastest-moving part of tradie SEO and it goes first.
Service and suburb pages with real depth, cost guides that answer what customers actually ask, and links from relevant Australian trade and local sites.
A monthly report with a rank-grid map of your Maps visibility, calls and quote requests from search, an AI visibility score, and Search Console and GA4 figures.
Three groups of queries decide most tradie campaigns. We map all three to the right page before we write a word.
"emergency plumber near me", "electrician open now", "24 hour locksmith [suburb]". Won in the Maps pack with a complete Google Business Profile, recent reviews and the right hours, often paired with Google Ads.
"concreter [suburb]", "solar installer adelaide", "hot water system replacement sydney". Won with a page per service per suburb and a strong Google Business Profile.
"how much does a driveway cost", "switchboard upgrade cost", "solar panels worth it". Won with honest guides that Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT cite, which is where the quote request starts.
Our local SEO retainers start at $800 a month plus GST for a single service area, $1,500 for full SEO with content and links, and $2,800 for multi-service or multi-location businesses. A one-off SEO site audit starts from $800. Bundles with Google Ads start from $2,500 a month. Pricing is published on our pricing page.
Maps pack and suburb terms usually move within two to four months, faster if the Google Business Profile has never been properly set up. City-wide terms like "plumber sydney" take longer. If you need jobs this week, we run Google Ads alongside: AJ Concreting had 61 leads in 20 days.
A Google Business Profile alone can win some Maps pack searches, but it cannot rank for service and suburb terms, it cannot answer cost questions, and AI assistants have almost nothing to cite. A fast, simple site with a page per service is the difference between a full diary and a quiet one.
No, and nobody can. Maps pack proximity is measured from the searcher to your verified address. What suburb pages do buy you is organic and AI visibility for those suburbs, which is where most "concreter [suburb]" searches are decided anyway.
hipages sells the same lead to several tradies; Google Ads and SEO bring the customer to you alone. Most of our trade clients run Google Ads for urgent terms while the organic work builds, then cut the ad spend as the Maps pack and suburb pages take over.
No. Every SEO retainer is month-to-month with 30 days' notice.
