Tradies
Digital marketing for tradies
You are good at the job, not at writing captions at 9pm. Getmitch turns a photo of a finished job into your Facebook and Instagram posts, and on higher plans your Google posts, review requests and website pages too.
The jobs get done, the ute goes home, and the photos sit in the camera roll next to the kids' footy pictures. The Facebook page has not moved since winter. The Google profile has four reviews and two of them are from your sister-in-law.
Most tradies know what to post. After a ten-hour day, nobody wants to write it.
What goes wrong without a system
Photos that never become posts
You finish a deck, a switchboard or a bathroom and take a photo. It stays on the phone. By the weekend the job is forgotten and so is the post.
Customers who forget the review
Happy customers mean to leave a Google review and then life happens. If nobody asks at the right moment, the best jobs leave nothing online.
Leads shared with others
hipages, Oneflare and ServiceSeeking bring in leads. Lead platforms often send the same job to several businesses.
Agencies that send reports
A monthly retainer and a PDF of impressions is hard to connect to a single phone call. You wanted more jobs, not a chart.
How Mitch fits into a working day
You finish the job and take a photo. You add a line about it, typed or dictated by voice while you pack the ute. About a minute later Mitch has written the Facebook and Instagram posts. You read them, change what you like and approve. Nothing goes out until you do.
On the Local plan the same job also produces a Google Business Profile post. 24 to 72 hours after you submit the job, your customer gets a text asking for a Google review, as long as you have their mobile number and they have ticked the consent box. That gives them a day or so to live with the work. When the review lands, Mitch drafts a reply for you to approve.
On the Complete plan the job can also feed your website: on-page SEO fixes, a WordPress plugin and a new blog page every week, plus local rank tracking so you can see where you sit for the searches that matter to you.
Pick your trade
Every trade has a different rhythm. Air con gets a summer rush, builders sit on a job for months and landscapers wait for spring. The trade pages cover what that means for your marketing.
Not on the list? Mitch works for any local service business. The workflow is the same: photo, one line, approve.
What a week looks like
Monday you finish a bathroom reno and send the job in from the driveway. Tuesday the customer from Monday's job gets a review request. Wednesday you approve a Google post over a pie. Friday a new review has come in and the drafted reply is waiting. The work you did anyway is doing the marketing. Your own time on it is a few taps between jobs.

Social is where most tradies start. Local adds the Google profile and review work, which matters most if you win jobs off the map. For a closer look at how reviews turn into work, read the Google reviews guides. If you want the longer version of how local search works for a trade, start with local SEO for tradies.

Plumber marketing that runs from the ute
Someone with a burst pipe will pick from the map. Snap the finished job and Mitch writes the post, asks for the Google review and drafts the reply.
Electrician marketing for sparkies
A tidy switchboard is your best advert, and it ends up behind a cupboard door. Photograph it before you close up and Mitch writes the post.
Air conditioning marketing for installers and techs
When the first 38-degree day hits, every phone in town rings at once. Be the business that already has the photos, the reviews and the profile.
Roofing marketing that shows the work
Nobody sees your work from the street unless you show them. A photo from the ladder and a line about the job gives you a post and a review request.
Landscaping marketing for landscapers
A finished garden photographs well. Get it from your phone to Facebook, Instagram and Google before the lawn has even settled.
Painter marketing for painting businesses
Paint looks good for about a day in photos, then the furniture goes back. Take the shot on handover day and let Mitch turn it into the post.
Builder marketing for home builders and renovators
Builds run for months and the marketing stops on day one. Send Mitch a progress photo from site and the posts, reviews and Google updates keep moving.
Garage door marketing for installers and repairers
A stuck door is a same-day problem, and people ring the first business that looks open and trusted. Show your recent jobs and collect the reviews that prove it.
