Target Trades

High-Ticket Trades Built for Search Domination

I specifically focus on trade businesses with high equipment investment and five-figure project values. Bringing in just one extra job per month pays for the entire engagement.

Trenchless Pipe Relining Plumbers

A$6,000 to A$18,000+

You invested over A$100,000 in CCTV inspection gear, water jetters, and inversion drums. Stop relying on low-ticket tap repairs. I help specialist drainage plumbers capture high-intent no-dig sewer repairs across their target suburbs.

Colorbond Roofing & Roof Restoration

A$12,000 to A$30,000+

Homeowners looking for tile-to-Colorbond conversions or full membrane roof restorations do not want low-budget patches. We position your profile to dominate residential storm corridors and wealthy suburban searches.

Ducted Air Conditioning Specialists

A$8,000 to A$20,000+

Australian summer heat in Western Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Perth drives intense demand for whole-home ducted reverse cycle systems. Capture qualified homeowners searching Google Maps before your competitors.

Tree Lopping & Arborist Crews

A$3,000 to A$10,000+

Large Eucalyptus and gum tree removals require cranes, heavy chippers, and certified climbing rigs. We expand your 3-pack visibility across multi-suburb coverage areas so high-ticket tree clearing jobs call you directly.

The Real Bottleneck

Stop buying shared leads. Own your inbound call pipeline.

Most Australian tradies get burned by directory aggregators or locked into expensive agency retainers with zero visibility into results.

The Hipages Shared Lead Trap

Lead brokers sell the exact same homeowner enquiry to 3 to 5 competing tradies simultaneously. You pay monthly platform fees and per-lead fees, then engage in a margin-killing price race to the bottom.

Proximity Drop-Off in Wealthy Suburbs

Your business ranks #1 right next to your industrial workshop or home office, but drops outside the top 10 just 5km away where the high-value residential renovation contracts actually live.

Invisible to AI Search Engines

When homeowners ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for recommendations, missing structured entity signals and weak category definitions mean your competitors get cited instead.

Agency Lock-In & Canned PDF Reports

Paying A$2,000 to A$4,000 per month to traditional agencies on 12-month lock-in contracts with junior account managers who outsource spammy backlinks and produce zero measurable booked jobs.

Audit Findings

Common Australian Tradie Google Gaps vs How I Fix Them

These are the exact technical issues analysed during my profile reviews:

Audit Finding

Primary category set to general trade only (e.g. 'Plumber' or 'Roofing contractor')

Impact: Completely misses map pack searches for 'pipe relining', 'metal roofing', or 'ducted air conditioning'

The Fix

Add canonical secondary categories and configure specific high-margin service items in the GBP catalogue

Audit Finding

Depot address located in industrial estates or outer fringe

Impact: Ranks near your industrial yard but drops out of the 3-pack 8km away in wealthy residential suburbs

The Fix

Build dedicated council and suburb landing pages with structured local schema and verified project proof

Audit Finding

Thin photo count with zero equipment or jobsite proof

Impact: Lower Google trust score and lower homeowner confidence when evaluating five-figure quotes

The Fix

Upload 30+ structured photos showing branded utes, CCTV pipe relining rigs, and aerial Colorbond roof finishes

Audit Finding

Missing suburb-level service pages

Impact: Google and AI search engines fail to associate your business with surrounding local council areas

The Fix

Deploy targeted suburb pages for high-income residential areas across your metropolitan territory

Audit Finding

Slow review collection after final handover

Impact: Competitors with 150+ reviews absorb high-intent inbound calls across Google Maps and Apple Maps

The Fix

Implement a direct post-job SMS review workflow for project managers and field technicians

Core Deliverables

What Gets Fixed

Every change is tied directly to local map pack rankings, AI search citations, and booked high-ticket jobs.

Google Business Profile Optimisation

Primary trade categories, high-intent secondary categories, services catalogue, and jobsite photo assets configured the way Google and property owners evaluate trade businesses.

Suburb Pages & Council Coverage

Dedicated service and suburb landing pages that rank for high-intent searches like 'pipe relining [suburb]', 'Colorbond re-roof [council]', and emergency trade calls.

Google Search Ads for High-Ticket Jobs

Tightly geo-fenced search ad campaigns built around tradie unit economics: emergency terms that book today, installation keywords worth paying for, and negative keyword filtering.

AI Search Optimisation (GEO)

Structure your business entity, schema markup, and review sentiment so AI engines (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) recommend you as the top local specialist.

Mobile Call Conversion Infrastructure

Sticky tap-to-call bars, prominent Australian service areas, licence credentials, and zero-friction mobile contact flows designed for homeowners searching on phones.

Field Crew Review Workflow

A clean, repeatable post-job SMS workflow for field technicians and sales estimators to steadily capture 5-star Google reviews and drive map ranking velocity.

About

About me

Tom Kosicek, Local SEO consultant for Australian tradies

I am a Local SEO and Google Ads consultant working directly with Australian tradies and high-ticket trade businesses.

When you work with me, you speak directly with the practitioner auditing your Google Business Profile, planning suburb coverage, and managing your local search work. No account managers, junior staff handoffs, or 12-month lock-in contracts.

I work with tradies in two ways: hands-on month-to-month optimisation for owners who want local search handled end to end, and focused audits and advisory for businesses reviewing an agency or building marketing capability in-house.

I focus on practical visibility across Australia: stronger Google Maps 3-pack positions, reducing proximity drop-off across target suburbs and council areas, earning recommendations in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, and turning mobile searches into qualified calls and quote requests.
