GOOGLE ADS FOR TRADE & CONSTRUCTION Companies

Google Ads for Tradies Best Practices

Are you running a trade or construction company and you’re always on the hunt for new jobs for our team? Google Ads can help you get noticed by the right customers at the right time. At TradiesGo, we have the time, experience, and certification to walk you through Google Ads for tradies to help your business grow and thrive

Why Do Tradies Need Google Ads?

Traditional advertising feels more like playing darts blindfolded. You’d put your name on billboards or stick flyers in letterboxes, hoping the right customer would see it. But let’s be honest, most of your potential clients are either lost on their phones or haven’t checked their mailboxes in weeks. 

Google Ads puts you right in front of people actively searching for your services. These customers aren’t just browsing randomly; they’re ready to hire you. And the best part? You only pay when someone clicks your ad, which means you’re getting serious leads and you never have to worry about blowing the budget.

How to Get Ahead With Google Ads for Tradies

Google Ads may sound complex, but it’s actually simple. It’s like an auction where you bid on keywords and you have to be precise with your keywords to reach those customers who need urgent services. For example, if you run a plumbing company, instead of just a “plumber,” terms like “emergency after-hours drain specialist” will attract those who need urgent help with their plumbing system. 

What we love most about Google Ads is that you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. You won’t have to waste money on ads that don’t work and you can choose where your ad shows up, so it targets people in your service area.

And here’s the cherry on top: you can add extensions to your ads to make it easier for customers to reach you. For example, they can click on a phone number or a “Call Now” button right from your ad. It’s all about making it simple for them to connect with you and get their issues sorted quickly.

Pro Tips for Tradie Success With Google Ads

Here at TradiesGo, we’ve helped 100s of trades, construction and even SAAS companies in the trade niche just like yourself get better leads for their business with Google Ads. Here’s how:

Keyword Magic

Instead of using general terms like "plumber," we'll assist you in finding precise keywords like "emergency after-hours bathroom leak repair." These detailed keywords grab the attention of customers facing urgent issues, increasing the chances they'll contact you immediately. This leads to more clicks, more successful deals, and happier customers.

Instead of guessing what an electrician does, we’ll use negative keywords like ‘auto electrician’ because we know the difference between a spark and an auto-spark.

Stand Out From the Crowd

Your advertisement is the first thing people notice about you. We'll create straightforward, interesting messages that showcase what sets you apart. Whether you provide round-the-clock service or specialise in something specific, we'll make sure it stands out on Google search results.

We build landing pages, review conversions and write new ad copy for you.

Location, Location, Location

There's no sense in displaying your ad to folks in Perth if you're only serving Sydney. We'll set up targeted location settings so your ads only pop up for searches made in your area. This sharp focus ensures you're reaching the right crowd, and getting the most out of your investment.

We can also do some smart targeting so we uber target the specific areas where you want to do work.

Mobile First

Nowadays, everyone's always on their phones. That's why we'll ensure your ads and landing page work smoothly on mobile. If it's hard to use or takes forever to load, customers will bail. We'll make sure everything looks great and is easy to use, whether they're on a phone or tablet, so those clicks quickly become calls.

Track and Analyze

We'll track your campaign to see which keywords and ads are bringing in the most business. With this info, we can tweak your strategy to get even better results. Google Ads is all about getting better over time, and we'll be with you to help maximize your investment every step of the way.

Grow Your Business With Google Ads

Google Ads can make a big difference for tradies like us. It helps us connect with the right customers, at the right moment, with precision. Stop throwing money away on ads and keywords that don’t rank. Take control and watch your business grow. Let TradiesGo lend a hand in your success with the best Google Ads for tradies services in the country.

We have been with Tradies Go for about 6 months and have found them to be absolutely wonderful, our SEO is doing fantastic, our phones are ringing and the updates they did on our website were amazing. We came to Tradies Go after a really unfortunate few months with another company and they restored our faith in SEO companies. They are quick to get back to you, we have monthly meetings going over everything they have done and the outcome and everything they intend to do the next month. They have also worked seamlessly with another company we use for our CRM to ensure an easy flow between the two systems. Couldn't recommend them more. Thanks team

Steph and her team were engaged to build my first company website using the Tradies Get Online program. Since then my business has grown significantly because I was continuously ranking high on Google. She was able to continually improve and update the site as per my requirements and provided sound logical advice to me when I needed it most. I would recommend Steph to anyone looking to grow and develop their trade business.
I had a 45 min chat with Steph last year. In a completely FREE consult she did an audit on my website at the time that gave me the push I needed to overhaul it to a far better WordPress site. It was so valuable and although I'm not a tradie so not her target client, she still made sure I got value from that call. I've been recommending her to my Aussie trades clients ever since.
Have worked with Stephanie and her team for a while now. I love her vision and passion, it excites me to do things, to implement and grow.
My small business wasn't the right fit for TradiesGO yet but Stephanie was still able to give me some really helpful advice. Thanks!
Stephanie and her team know their stuff. They helped us with our new website to attract the customers we want. Fantastic team looking forward to working with them to grow our business.
Cant speak highly enough of Stephanie from tradies get online! I’ve been following her Instagram for months and decided to contact her to speak about my business. My business is still quite young and we determined we may not be a good fit yet but she gave me a lot of really good actionable tips to start implementing. Not often do you come across a business who doesn't just want to take your money. honesty and transparency are traits often lost in businesses so it’s nice to speak to someone genuine, on-top that Stephanie is clearly great at what she does. Looking forward to hopefully working together in the future
