In short

Bendigo Graphics does marketing for tradies in Bendigo: a website for your trade, your Google Business Profile and local SEO, Google Ads that bring calls, and the ute signage, workwear and site signs people see on the job. Every plan includes your website. Sole traders start on Local at $349 a month + GST, and crews move up to Growth or Department, month to month with no lock-in.

The problem

Good at the work. Hard to find online.

Most Bendigo tradies run on word of mouth until it slows down. Then the website is five years old, the Google listing has the wrong hours and the ute just says a mobile number.

We fix it as one job, so the ute, the website and the listing all tell people the same thing: who you are, what you do and how to book you.

What marketing for tradies covers.

A website that wins jobs

Your trade, your suburbs and how to book, up front, with your licence, photos of real jobs, your reviews and a quote form that lands on your phone. See websites for tradies.

Showing up on Google and the map

Your Google Business Profile rebuilt with the right services, suburbs and photos, reviews asked for and answered, and local SEO so you show up when someone nearby searches electrician Bendigo or concreter near me. See SEO for tradies.

Ads that bring calls

Google Ads built around the jobs you want more of, shown to people searching in your area, on a flat fee. Ad spend goes straight to Google, so the account stays yours. See Google Ads management.

The ute, van and trailer

Your name, what you do and your number, readable at a glance from the next lane. Start with one ute and match the rest of the fleet later from the same file. See ute and van signage.

Workwear for the crew

Polos, tees, jumpers and caps with your logo, printed or embroidered. Order one polo for a new starter or a set for the whole crew. See tradie workwear and uniforms.

Site signs and the paperwork

A corflute on every job, a sign on the yard fence, and business cards and quote pads that match the ute. See trade signage.

How much does marketing for tradies cost in Bendigo?

Our Marketing Plans are $349 a month + GST on Local ($249 at the launch price for the first 5 businesses each month), $990 on Growth and $2,500 on Department, month to month with no lock-in, and every plan includes your website. Most sole traders start on Local. Ad spend is paid straight to Google and Meta, and every price is on our plans page.

What should a tradie website have?

Your trade and suburbs in the first line, your licence, photos of real jobs, your reviews, a tap to call button and a quote form that lands on your phone. Keep it quick to load on a phone, because that is where people look for a tradie. See our websites for tradies.

Do tradies need SEO or Google Ads?

Usually both, in that order. Your Google Business Profile and local SEO bring calls from the map and search over time, and Google Ads put you at the top while that builds, or when you want more of one kind of job. We start with the profile, because those are the cheapest calls you will get. More on SEO for tradies.

Can you sign the ute and do the uniforms as well?

Yes. The same team does your ute, van and trailer signage, workwear and site signs from the one logo file, so it all matches the website. See signage, ute signage and workwear for tradies.

I’m a sole trader. Is marketing worth it?

Local is built for one person businesses: a website kept up to date, posts every week, your Google profile rebuilt and looked after, every review answered and a text back to every call you miss, so the job doesn’t go to the next name on the list. There is no lock-in, so if it isn’t paying its way you can stop.

Do you work with tradies outside Bendigo?

Yes. We work with tradies in Kangaroo Flat, Strathdale, Golden Square, Eaglehawk, Epsom, Castlemaine and across Central Victoria. Calls and approvals can happen online, or drop in to 2/176 Lyttleton Terrace.
