  • Executive board reporting
Outcome
A senior in-house growth function without 12-month senior hiring cycles.

FAQ

Marketing Agency for Tradies questions, answered straight.

Still got questions? Our team replies to every enquiry inside 24 hours.

What does a Marketing Agency for Tradies do?

A marketing agency for tradies builds the local-search and lead-acquisition stack for plumbers, electricians, solar installers, roofers, builders and HVAC techs — map-pack SEO, Google Local Service Ads, postcode-targeted Google Ads, call tracking and review programmes. As a tradie marketing agency, all our marketing for tradespeople is measured on revenue per van, not website visits.

How does Google LSA (Local Service Ads) work?

Google LSAs are pay-per-lead ads that show above regular Search results for service queries. You only pay when someone calls or messages — not per click. Whitehat handles Google verification, ongoing bid optimisation and lead-dispute claims.

Do you work with single-van or multi-van operations?

Both. Single-van operators get focused postcode + LSA work. Multi-van and franchise operations get territory-mapped campaigns, location-page templating and centralised reporting per van/branch.

What is the minimum monthly spend?

For LSAs and local Google Ads there's a practical minimum spend — below it, the management fee outweighs the optimisation upside.

How much does a marketing agency for tradies cost?

Our marketing agency for tradies management fees scale with ad spend and the number of postcodes worked, on top of your media budget. Single-van operators sit at the lower end; multi-van fleets higher. With a 12× average ROAS on Local Service Ads, every dollar of fee is recovered in booked-job revenue, not impressions.

What results can a tradie marketing agency deliver?

As a tradie marketing agency we deliver #1 map-pack rankings in your target postcode within 90 days, a 12× average ROAS on Google Local Service Ads — $1 in, $12 of booked-job revenue out — and a +220% lift in booked jobs year-on-year. Everything is CallRail-tracked to revenue per van, never website visits.

Which channels work best for marketing for tradespeople?

For most trades the highest-return channels are Google Local Service Ads (pay-per-lead, 12× average ROAS), map-pack SEO via Google Business Profile, and postcode-targeted Google Ads with call tracking. As a Google Premier Partner we sequence marketing for tradespeople around booked jobs — which is how we lift them +220% year-on-year.
