Why Trusty Tradies
Being Listed Online Still Matters For Business
When someone needs a tradie, their first move is often a Google search. If your business isn’t showing up in those results, you’re losing work to competitors who are. A strong local business directory listing puts your business in front of people actively looking for what you offer, and it signals to Google that your business is legitimate and worth showing.
Your listing is also a Google backlink, and this works in your favour.
Every time a reputable website links to yours, Google registers it as a credibility signal. Directory listings are one of the most accessible ways to build those signals (what digital marketers call link building). The more quality references your business accumulates online, the more Google trusts your website and surfaces it in search results.
Quality is the operative word. Google disregards spammy directories with unverified listings. We vet every business on the platform to ensure no adult content, overseas operators or spam get through. A listing here carries genuine weight in the SEO world.
Fair pricing and real exposure.
Most business listing websites in Australia charge a premium for visibility, or offer free listings so buried they’re effectively useless. Every business on Trusty Tradies pays $1 a month and gets identical exposure.
Your profile includes everything a potential customer needs to make contact: your business name, logo, photo gallery, bio, contact details, website and social links.
✦ $1/month or lock in the full year for $10
✦ Every listing is equal. No paid rankings or boosted placements
✦ Each listing creates a quality backlink to your website
✦ Vetted directory. All listings are legitimate Australian businesses.
