Marketing for tradies who want the good jobs, not just more jobs.

Depends on your trade, your area and how contested it is. Most tradies run Ascent, and the exact monthly number gets stated plainly on the audit call, plus your ad spend, which goes to Google untouched. No mark-up, ever.

Yes. One client per trade per defined service area on paid lead generation, your suburbs are listed in your engagement, and we check the register before quoting anyone. When your patch is taken, the next plumber who rings gets told exactly that.

Word of mouth is the best lead source there is, and the first thing people do with a referral is Google you. Six reviews against a competitor's sixty kills referrals silently. The engine's job is making sure your referrals survive the search.

Ads produce enquiries in days once tracking's in. The map and organic positions take months and keep paying after. That's why the program runs both at once.

Not too small, wrong program. Base Camp exists exactly for that stage: profile, reviews, one converting page, tracking. We'll tell you honestly when you're ready for ads, and when you're not.

Google Ads produce enquiries in the first week or two once tracking is wired. Local SEO and reviews build over a quarter and then keep paying. We sequence ads first so the engine funds itself while the free channels grow.

Most trades we work with invest $1,200 to $3,000 a month plus ad spend, flat fee, set after the audit. The number that matters is cost per booked job, and it's on your report every month.

Google Ads on the searches that mean come now, a Google Business Profile that wins the map, and a page for each service in each suburb you want work from. Every call and form is tracked to the job and the suburb, so you can see which enquiries became booked work. The leads are yours alone, never resold or shared.

Both, in that order. Google Ads produces calls inside the first week or two while SEO for tradies builds underneath: service pages, suburb pages and reviews that rank in the map and the organic results. After a few months the organic enquiries lower your cost per job, and the ads budget can drop back to the services that still need it.

A complete Google Business Profile with a review habit, a page per service per suburb you work, Google Ads on the searches that mean come now, call and form tracking to the suburb and service, and a monthly report in booked jobs. One trade per service area, so the leads are not shared.

Yes, if the calendar has room. A sole trader who owns their suburb on Google for two or three services can stay booked without a sales team. If you are already turning work away, the better spend is on raising prices and on the services you want more of, and we will say so on the audit call.
