SEO for tradies in Perth
When someone needs a sparky, a plumber or a fencer, many search Google on their phone and call one of the businesses near the top.
Search engine optimisation (SEO) for tradies in Perth is the work that decides whether that's you: your Google listing, your reviews and a website Google can find.
What we found in Wangara
In September 2026 we searched Google Maps from Wangara for 35 trades, from mechanics and electricians to cabinet makers and steel fabricators. That turned up 414 listings with a Wangara address. Then we took a closer look at the 26 with the weakest numbers. Here's some of what we found.
- 3 v 400+
- One business had 3 Google reviews. The top three in its trade averaged over 400. That is a big gap to close.
- Blank page
- The website button on one Google listing opened a blank server page. Anyone who tapped it got nothing.
- Two numbers
- Google had one phone number, the business's own website had another. Three of the 26 had a different street address on Yellow Pages or True Local than on Google.
- 3 pages
- A Google search of one business's website turned up only 3 of its pages. If Google hasn't found the page about your service, it can't show it to anyone.
Most of these are settings and details, not big projects. The hard part is knowing they're there.
How our SEO for tradies works
Your Google listing first
For a tradie, the map is often where the call starts. We help get your Google Business Profile verified, set the right trade category, fix the service area and hours, and make sure the phone and website link work.
The same details everywhere
Your name, address and phone should read the same on Google, your website, Yellow Pages, True Local and Facebook. We find the ones that don't and fix them.
More reviews, the honest way
We set up a simple text or email that goes to every customer after the job. Every customer, not just the happy ones. Google doesn't allow paying for reviews or picking who you ask.
A website that works on a phone
A page for each main job you do, the suburbs you cover, your licence number, and a phone number people can tap. Then we check Google has found every page.
Proof it's working
We check where you show on the map from the suburbs you care about, before we start and every month after. You see calls and map positions, not a pile of jargon.
If your Google listing is the main problem, start with our Google Business Profile help.
Questions tradies ask us
How long before my phone rings more?
Fixing a broken listing, a wrong phone number or a dead website link can help straight away, because you stop losing calls you were already getting. Moving up the map takes longer and depends on your reviews and how busy your trade is. We won't promise a position.
Do I need a new website?
Often not. A lot of the time the site needs fixing, not replacing. If yours can't be fixed, we'll tell you plainly.
I get all my work from word of mouth. Do I need this?
Even with word of mouth, a lot of people look you up on Google before they call. If they find three reviews and a wrong number, some of them may call someone else.
