5 Things Killing Your Tradie Website (And How to Fix Them)

The most common mistakes we see on Sydney tradie websites — and the easy fixes that immediately bring in more leads.

1. Phone number not clickable on mobile

If a customer can't tap your phone number to call you, you're losing 3 in 10 leads. Wrap every phone number in a tel: link.

2. Slow load speed

If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load on mobile, half your visitors leave. The usual culprit: huge unoptimised photos. Compress them.

3. No suburb pages

If you service 8 suburbs but only have one 'Service Areas' page, you're invisible for 7 of them. Build a page per suburb.

4. Lead form that goes to a dead inbox

We've seen forms emailing addresses that haven't been checked in 2 years. Test yours today — submit a fake enquiry and time how long until it lands in your phone.

5. No reviews on the homepage

Your Google reviews are your best sales tool. Embed them on the homepage above the fold.
