Most tradies get their first jobs from word of mouth, then hit a ceiling. Online is how you get past it without waiting for the phone to ring.
Stop renting leads
Lead sites sell the same job to four tradies and push you into a price race. They are fine as a stopgap, terrible as a strategy.
Every dollar you put into your own profile, site and reviews keeps working after you stop spending.
Get found where people search
For local trades that means Google Maps first, Google search second and everything else a distant third. Facebook is good for showing off finished work, not for capturing urgent demand.
Make the enquiry easy
Tap to call, a three field form, and a clear line about how quickly you respond. Nothing else on the page matters as much.
Quote fast and follow up
The first tradie to reply properly wins a large share of jobs. Build templates for your five most common quotes so you can send one from the ute.
Track what works
Ask every new customer how they found you and write it down. After three months you will know exactly where to put your money.
