🚀 The Hidden Power of Website Speed for Tradies 🚀

Ever thought about how fast your website loads? Most tradies don't realise why it is a big deal so here's why it matters:

⏱️ User Experience:
53% of mobile users leave sites that take over 3 seconds to load. Your potential customers are impatient and they want to find what they are looking for (your services, contact details etc.) as quickly as possible.

📊 SEO Benefits:
Faster sites mean better user-experience and a higher rank on Google. Better speed = better visibility in local searches.

💼 Conversion Rates:
Slow sites lose customers. Don't let potential jobs slip away because of a sluggish website!

📱 Mobile-First World:
People search on-the-go and they're used to watching 3 different brain-rot tiktoks in a second. If your site's slow, they'll definitely be swiping to a competior.

🏆 Competitive Advantage:
Many tradie websites are slow. It's a mixture of a lack of knowledge, DIY website builders or cheap web-developers. The great thing about this is that a quick website will definitely set you apart.

At Tradie Web Launch, we're speed freaks. We make sure your site runs faster than a tradie to a bunnings sausage sizzle! 🌭

👇 What's your experience with slow websites? As a user or a business owner, how does it affect you?

🏗️ Every business has a story. Here's mine:

Four years ago, I built my first website for a tradie mate. He took a chance on me, and I did it for cheap to gain experience. The design was certainly crude and I've overhauled it since then but it felt amazing to make something real.

🚀 The result? His business actually took off online! His phone was ringing daily and I was chuffed.

That's when it hit me: Many talented tradies struggle with their online presence.

💡 So I honed my craft and eventually founded Tradie Web Launch.

We don't just build websites. We create digital foundations for hardworking Aussie tradies to showcase their skills and grow their businesses.

🤔 What's your business origin story? Share it in the comments!

In this guide we go through the process of how to create a basic Google Business Page to start building your online presence. It won't be perfect to start with but that's ok, we will have another post about how to optimise your page later on this week!

New Website Launch: 👷‍♂️

Halley Concrete are a new concreting business located in Boronia that are specialists in decorative concrete and home concreting options with almost a decade of experience in the industry.

They wanted some help with getting online by creating a website and some help with their Google Business Page. The owner didn't know where he wanted to start and after we learned about his business he left us to write the content and get creative with the design.

This one shows off his fantastic workmanship really well with images and video featuring heavily, this will definitely make the business stand out when you visit and contribute heavily to earning potential customers trust.

I went through their Google Business first and before the website was even launched they had received 2 calls from the profile. Incredible.

I hope this is a great base for them to build their business and online presence upon and I look forward to watching them grow, with the amount of quality work I have seen through the images, I am sure it will be no time at all.

Does a Roof Plumber Need A Website?

We have completed 3 websites for roof plumbers now and I have learned an immense amount about how the companies work and what services they provide. So much so that I could probably name the different parts of my roof and what they do - if you could ever get me up there.

Some people wonder if it is worth the cost. I always say that even if you manage to get 1 extra sale per month, then that is possibly thousands of dollars you would have missed out on.

A website builds trust and credibility, boosts local search visibility, and centralizes all your business info in one place. It's where we tell your story, talk about what makes you unique and showcase your testimonials and past work to build trust with potential customers.

It also reduces your reliance on social media, so that if you were ever to lose the account, you don't just disappear from the internet.

I see it as your base of operations where you send traffic to from social media, paid ads and word-of-mouth to learn more about your business and hopefully get in touch with you.

We Got A Local Roof Plumber 5 calls and 14 website clicks in the first month using just Google Business.

These statistics are from Halley Roof Plumbing 1 month after launch and they only include interactions from the Google Business Profile, it is an amazing tool for service-based businesses like tradesmen and can give you some amazing results in local searches - you just have to set it up right.

When we launched the new website we also optimised the Google Business listing to include more keywords that people were searching for as well as being more specific with the service areas. We also taught the owner how to get Google reviews from clients and he went out and got 17 reviews from past clients in 1 week! A testament to his hard work.

All of these optimisations led to him quickly appearing in the top 3 business search results for his local area, which is sure to bring in leads. When speaking with the owner he has noticed not only the increase in calls but that they are all located much closer to where he is based. This is only the first month after launch, we are very excited to see how it will look 6 months and 1 year down the track - I'll post an update then too!

This is included in our services and is a great way to build your online presence. While we can't guarantee every client will see similar results, what we have seen is that most clients are benefitting from the optimisation that we do.

New Website Launch: 🌲🏠

Valley Plumbing and Roofing is a new business that is specialising in metal roof plumbing in the Yarra Valley. As skilled tradespeople entering a competitive market, they needed a strong online presence to establish their brand and attract clients. They struggled with using a website builder before they came to me for some help.

We created a website that could showcase their recent work, the services they offer and build trust with their visitors to convert them into customers. The results we saw from this one were surprising for a brand new business, 2 form submissions and a call in the first week after the website was launched. It turns out these leads were from 'friends of friends' who luckily Googled the business name the day after the website launched and found their brand new website. An awesome example of why a website is great for word of mouth as it made it easy for these people who knew the business name, but not the number to find them online and get in touch.

I particularly enjoy working with new businesses as the growth in the beginning is very satisfying to watch, I wish them all the best and look forward to working with them in the future.

One thing that frustrates me to no end is when I'm shopping online and the prices are hidden behind a wall, whether that be signing up, handing over my phone or my email. I'd rather just see the price up front so that I can compare options and keep my data to myself.

That's why my pricing is right here clear as day, so that you can compare what we offer to others when you're making what is ultimately a large investment in your business.

I offer 2 pricing options, the first is an upfront payment where you pay for my services and leave with a website and whatever hosting/maintenance options you decide on. The second is what I call 'website as a service' where for $200 per month I will create the website, manage the hosting and maintenance and perform any future updates that you require as well as offer phone and email support, it's more of a partnership where I become your tech guy.

Upfront:
Starting at $3000
- Copywriting and design for 5 pages
- Development of a static website
- Google Business Optimisation
- Google analytics set-up
- $25 per month for me to manage hosting.
- $100 per month for me to manage hosting and updates similar to the subscription.
- Additional pages and features can be added during development.

Website As A Service:
$200 per month
- Everything from the upfront.
- Website management included
- Support and advice are a phone call or email away
- Updates to existing content
- Future additional content can be added easily for hourly rate
- Can link in with your marketing team to make landing pages or edits
- 12 month minimum contract then month to month (I am confident you will stay with the website)

So there it is, everything transparent and easy to compare to other quotes you have received. If something doesn't make sense, leave a comment or send me a message, I am more than happy to discuss.
