Local SEO for Australian trade businesses
We get Australian trade businesses ranking in the areas they work, so new clients find you first and the leads keep coming without paying for every click.
How long does SEO take for a trade business?
Local SEO usually takes about 90 days to show real movement, and it builds from there. It's slower than ads, but the leads don't cost a cent per click. Once you're ranking in the areas you work, new clients keep finding you month after month without you paying for ads.
Why it takes so long: Every time we add a new page, blog or backlink, Google has to find it, crawl it and recognise it before it counts toward your rankings. Google crawls millions of sites a day, so that recognition doesn't happen instantly. Over time it adds up, and Google starts treating your website as a trusted source for what people in your area are searching for.
What's actually in demand
SEO is useless without knowing the numbers
Before we begin, we pull the real numbers in your local area. For example, "plumber near me" gets searched about 22,200 times a month in Australia alone. We find the searches worth ranking for in your services in your area, then build the plan around them.
SEO is good for
-
Free leads that compound
Unlike ads, you don't pay for every click. Once you rank, the leads keep coming, and they grow over time instead of stopping the day you stop spending.
-
Ranking where you work
Getting found in every area you service, not just for your business name. So the work comes from the places you actually want it.
-
Built to last
No tricks that get you penalised later. We build rankings the way Google rewards, so they hold and keep growing.

I engaged Kingtradie to create a new website for us at Quick Micks Plumbing. Lachlan was very good at his job & I felt supported throughout to entire process. He has some great ideas & communication was excellent. He was always available for help & answering any questions I had. I would recommend Lachlan to anyone wanting to have a professional & original website content. Thanks very much Kingtradie

I had the best experience with KingTradie. Lachlan is extremely passionate about what he does, and he did an amazing job on our MrLoo.au website. I truly wish him all the best.

Lachlan from King Tradie is the top G of tradie website design, development, and management. I've worked with many website agencies and individuals, and no one comes close to Lachlan's attention to detail and high-end quality. He doesn't waste your time asking the same questions; in fact, he did his own research and made the onboarding and entire website development process easy. I normally get myself too involved in projects, but I literally only had to show up for the photography session. Lachlan handled the rest. If you want to skip the time and money wasters, go with King Tradie.

SEO questions?
See if we answered it below.
How long until I see results?
About 60 to 90 days for real movement, then it keeps building from there. It takes time because every new page or blog we build has to be submitted to Google and crawled before it can rank, and Google crawls millions of sites a day, so new pages don't get recognised overnight. The upside is that once it builds, the results compound and stick around, unlike ads that stop the moment you stop paying.
Is SEO better than Google Ads?
Neither is better, they just do different jobs. SEO suits a trade business with a steady pipeline that wants to grow consistently over time without paying for every lead. Google Ads is the opposite: it puts you at the top of Google straight away, so it's the move when you need leads coming in fast. A lot of our clients run both: ads for leads now, SEO for growth that compounds.
What areas can you rank me in?
It depends on your business and how competitive your area is, so the first thing we do is research it properly. Once we understand your business and your goals, we use paid data tools to find the suburbs and search terms you can realistically win. Here's the honest version: if you're a brand new plumber in the middle of Sydney, you're up against big companies with years of SEO and hundreds of pages already ranking. We're not going to promise you the top spot for those overnight. What we will do is target the areas and searches where you can actually compete and win, then grow from there as you build authority.
