Top 7 Ways Newcastle Tradies Can Get More Leads Online
If you’re a plumber, sparkie, builder, roofer or any local legend who works with your hands you already know:
“You don’t get paid if the phone doesn’t ring.”
Relying on referrals and hope is old news.
This is how real tradies in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie get steady, high-quality leads in 2025.
🔍 1. Rank on Google Maps (Top 3 or You’re Invisible)
You need to show up when someone Googles “plumber near me” or “electrician Lake Mac.”
✅ Set up your Google Business Profile
✅ Get local 5-star reviews
✅ Post updates weekly
✅ Use photos of real jobs (not stock crap)
Most tradies don’t do this right. You will.
📱 2. Facebook Ads with Simple, Bold Offers
Your customers are on Facebook right now.
We run ads like:
- “$99 Blocked Drain Fix – Book Today”
- “Emergency Electrician? We’re 24/7”
- “Free Landscape Quote – This Week Only”
🔥 You don’t need fancy funnels. You need DMs filled with leads.
🔎 3. Google Ads for Hot Buyers
Someone searching “pest control Newcastle” or “air con install Lake Macquarie” isn’t browsing.
They’re ready to buy.
We set up smart, targeted campaigns that bring in real buyers, not tire kickers.
🧠 4. Your Website = A Lead Machine (Or a Leaky Bucket)
Your site should:
✅ Load fast
✅ Look clean on mobile
✅ Show photos, reviews, trust
✅ Have BIG Call Now buttons
If it doesn’t convert visitors to calls—you’re wasting traffic.
✉️ 5. Follow Up Like a Pro
Tradies lose money not from lack of leads—but from not following up.
Set up:
- Auto text replies
- Booking confirmations
- Review requests
- Email reminders
We automate all this. Leads don’t slip through the cracks anymore.
🧰 6. Post Your Work Weekly (Proof = Trust)
Take photos.
Post before-and-afters.
Show people you’re real and reliable.
People stalk before they call. Show up strong.
💬 7. DM Builders, Agents, and Property Managers
Want repeat work?
Go where the volume is.
Send a quick message:
“Hey, I run a [plumbing] business in Lake Macquarie. If you ever need help with last-minute jobs or maintenance, I’ve got a fast-response crew ready to go.”
Simple. Direct. It works.
