A Website for Tradies That Turns Searches Into Quote Requests
Last updated: 10 November 2026
Most tradie sites we're asked to replace were knocked up by a nephew in 2017. They've got a stock photo of a hammer, a contact form that emails an address nobody checks, and no idea which suburbs you cover.
We build you a new one, put an AI chat on it that answers quote questions at 9pm while you're having tea, and drop every lead into one list. Then we look after it, so you can stay on the tools.

Quick Answer
What is a website for tradies? A website for tradies is a mobile-first site that turns a Google search into a phone call or quote request. Ours shows your service suburbs, licence number, real job photos and genuine reviews, then adds AI live chat that answers quote questions 24/7 and an AI CRM that keeps every lead in one place. We build and maintain it.
What a customer in a flooded laundry needs to see
Think about who's looking. Usually someone on a phone, a bit stressed, comparing three tradies in about ninety seconds. Here's what gets you the call instead of the next tradie.
The suburbs you actually work in
A list of service areas and suburbs, so someone in Narre Warren can see you cover Narre Warren without ringing to ask. It also tells Google where you work.
Your licence number, out in the open
Put the licence or registration number on the page, near the contact details. People check it, and hiding it in the footer makes them wonder why.
A gallery of real jobs
Before-and-after shots from your own phone beat stock photos of a smiling model in a spotless hi-vis shirt. Switchboards, retaining walls, bathrooms, decks.
Reviews that are genuinely yours
Only real reviews from real customers, linked back to your Google Business Profile so anyone can check them. We never write or invent reviews, and you shouldn't either.
Tap to call on a mobile
Most people find a tradie on their phone. The number should sit at the top of every page and dial with one tap.
A short quote form
Name, suburb, mobile, what the job is, and a spot for photos. Ten fields and they'll give up halfway.
Fast on a phone with two bars
Pages that load quickly on mobile data, because your customer might be standing in a flooded laundry when they search.
The bit most tradie sites are missing: someone to answer
A good-looking site still leaks work if questions go unanswered. Someone wants to know if you do after-hours call-outs in their postcode, or roughly what a hot water swap costs. If nobody replies, they ring the next name on the list.
So every site we build has AI live chat trained on your trade, your suburbs and the prices you're happy to share. It answers straight away, day or night, asks for photos when a job needs a look, and takes the customer's name and mobile. That lead lands in your AI CRM with the full chat attached, alongside anything from the quote form.
It's the same AI website we build for any business, just set up around how trades win work: quick answers, a clear call button and no fluff.
Plumbers, sparkies, builders and landscapers
Each trade gets asked different things, so each site is laid out differently.
Plumbers
Emergency work comes first: burst pipes, blocked drains and hot water outages up top with the call button, then planned work like bathroom renos and gas fitting further down. The chat asks whether water is still running and where the stopcock is.
Sparkies
Switchboard upgrades, safety switches, EV chargers, solar and fault finding. Your electrical licence number belongs right next to the phone number. The chat never tells anyone to poke around a switchboard; it takes the details and flags anything that sounds unsafe for a call back.
Builders
Fewer calls, bigger jobs. The site needs project pages with photos, the type of work you take on, and a form that asks about block, budget range and timing so you're not driving out to quote a small job when you only do extensions.
Landscapers
It's a visual trade, so the gallery does the selling. Group jobs by type (paving, retaining, turf, garden design) and show the suburbs. The chat can ask for the rough size of the yard and whether there's side access for a bobcat.
We'll show you what yours could look like
Showing up when someone searches “plumber near me”
For local trade searches, your website and your Google Business Profile work as a pair. The profile is the listing with the map pin, the hours and the stars. Google says local results are mainly based on relevance, distance and prominence, and that reviews and links count towards prominence (Google Business Profile Help).
If you haven't got a profile yet, Google's getting started guide walks you through it. Set your service area rather than a home address if you work from the ute. Keep the hours right, add job photos and reply to reviews.
On the website side we make sure the suburbs and services match what's on your profile, link the profile from the site, and keep the pages quick on mobile. That's the honest version of SEO for a tradie. Anyone promising you the number one spot by Friday is kidding you.

Honestly, not every tradie needs this
If you're a sole trader booked out eight weeks ahead on word of mouth and builder referrals, a new site won't change much. A tidy Google Business Profile with your number and some photos might be all you need. Save your money.
It's worth it when you want more of a certain kind of work (say, switchboard upgrades instead of small fault calls), when you've taken on an apprentice and need to keep two people busy, or when you're losing jobs because nobody answers the questions people ask before they'll ring.
Dean's quiet patch after the storms
Illustrative example based on common patterns
Dean runs a two-man roofing and guttering business out of Penrith. His old site had a single page, a Gmail address and a photo of someone else's roof. After a run of summer storms he was flat out, but in autumn the phone went quiet and he had nothing to fall back on.
With suburb pages for the Penrith and Blue Mountains areas, his own gutter guard photos and a chat that asks for the roof type and a couple of pictures, the evening browsers become leads. He'd open the CRM at smoko, see who wanted what, and ring the best ones first.
