Fig. 01 — The search
Your next job starts with three businesses on a map.
When someone on the Gold Coast needs a tradie, they search for the job and the place. Google shows a map with three businesses first, picked for where the person is standing. Those three get the first look, and the first call.
- “plumber near me”
- “electrician Robina”
- “emergency plumber Gold Coast”
- “roof leak repair Southport”
- “air con installation Burleigh”
- “end of lease cleaning Varsity Lakes”
- Top 3 · good
- 4 to 10
- Below 10 or missing · bad
Sample data. Your free report uses your live rankings.
The same search gives a different three on every street. You can be first outside your own yard in Southport and nowhere in Burleigh Heads, and the jobs in between go to whoever Google shows there. That is why we measure your ranking at nine points across your area, not as one number. The full story is on our Gold Coast Google Maps ranking page.
Fig. 02 — The trades
Tradies we do SEO for on the Gold Coast.
The method is the same for every trade. What people search for, and what makes them pick you, is not.
SEO for plumbers
Plenty of plumbing searches are urgent: a burst pipe, a blocked drain, no hot water. Your Business Profile hours, your phone number and how quickly you answer reviews matter more here than anywhere. We also give hot water, drains and gas their own pages, because people search for the job, not the trade.
SEO for electricians
Switchboard upgrades, EV chargers, solar and fault-finding are different searches with different customers. Each gets its own service page, your profile lists them as services, and your licence number sits where a careful customer will look for it.
SEO for roofers
Storm season on the Gold Coast brings a rush of "roof leak" and "storm damage" searches. A profile with recent photos of real jobs, and separate pages for repairs and restorations, puts you in front of those searches when they come.
SEO for builders and renovators
Nobody picks a builder in five minutes. People read every review and look at every photo. We keep your project photos current, make sure your QBCC licence is easy to find, and build pages for the work you want more of, in the areas you build in.
SEO for landscapers
Landscaping is sold on photos. We keep before-and-after photos flowing onto your profile, and split garden maintenance from landscape design, because they are two different customers searching two different ways.
SEO for air conditioning
Searches jump when the first hot week arrives. Installation, servicing and repairs each get their own page, and the brands you install are named, because people search for those too.
SEO for pest control
Termite inspections, pre-purchase inspections and general pest treatments are separate searches, often from different people (a home owner, a buyer, a property manager). Each gets its own page and its own place on your profile.
SEO for cleaners
End-of-lease cleaning is a big part of the Gold Coast's rental market, around the universities and the coastal suburbs. We build pages for bond cleaning, regular cleans and commercial work, and a review system that keeps the stars coming after every job.
SEO for painters
Interior, exterior and commercial painting are three different jobs. On the coast, salt air and sun come up in what people ask about exteriors, so your pages answer those questions in your own words.
SEO for fencing and concreting
Pool fencing has its own Queensland rules, and people search for it on its own. Driveways, slabs and fences each get a page, so Google can match you to the exact job instead of guessing.
SEO for pool builders and pool services
"Pool cleaning", "green pool" and "pool builder" are three different customers. Regular servicing lives on repeat customers and reviews, building lives on photos. We set your profile and pages up for the side of the business you want to grow.
Your trade not here?
Tilers, glaziers, removalists, mechanics, locksmiths: if your customers find you by searching nearby, the same method and the same price apply.
Every Gold Coast suburb, from Ormeau to Coolangatta.
We work with tradies right along the coast and back into the hinterland. We only take one business per trade in each area, so we never work for two plumbers chasing the same searches in the same suburb. Ask whether your trade is still free in yours.
- Ormeau
- Pimpama
- Coomera
- Helensvale
- Labrador
- Southport
- Nerang
- Surfers Paradise
- Broadbeach
- Robina
- Varsity Lakes
- Mudgeeraba
- Burleigh Heads
- Palm Beach
- Currumbin
- Coolangatta
And every suburb in between. Highlighted suburbs have their own page, starting with Varsity Lakes.
Fig. 03 — The work
What we do for a Gold Coast tradie every month.
No tricks. A list of unglamorous jobs done properly and kept up, so you can stay on the tools.
Your Google Business Profile, set up properly
The right primary category for your trade, a trimmed category list, your real service areas, hours, services and photos of your own jobs. This is the listing Google Maps shows, so it comes first.
Reviews after every job
A simple way to ask the customers you already have for a Google review, every week, without you having to remember. We reply to the reviews that come in, so the profile looks looked-after.
A profile that looks busy
Fresh job photos, posts and updates, so Google and the person deciding between you and two others can see you are working right now.
A page for each job and each suburb
A page for each service you want more of, and each Gold Coast suburb you really work in, added to the website you already have. Google needs something on your site that says what you do and where.
The same details everywhere
Your business name, phone and area matched across the directories Google reads, so nothing on the web contradicts your profile.
The same map, measured every month
We re-scan the same nine points across your area every month and send you the new grid, plus a short update every Friday on what we did that week.
Fig. 04 — How to choose
How to choose the best SEO company for tradies on the Gold Coast.
Seven questions to put to any SEO company before you sign, us included. The answers tell you more than any sales pitch.
01Will you show me where I rank before I pay?
A single "you're on page one" screenshot means little. Google Maps results change from street to street, so you want to see a map of your area, not one number.
Our answer
Yes. The free report runs your search from nine points across your area and shows where you come up at each one, and who is above you.
02What does it cost, in writing?
If the price only comes out on a sales call, it is usually set by what they think you will pay.
Our answer
A$947.78 a month, in Australian dollars, on this page.
03Is there a lock-in contract?
Twelve-month contracts protect the agency, not you. If the work is good, you will stay anyway.
Our answer
No. Month to month, cancel any time.
04Who owns my Google Business Profile and my website?
Some agencies set the profile or the pages up under their own account. When you leave, you lose them.
Our answer
You do. We are added to your Business Profile as a manager, the pages go on your own website, and it all stays yours if you leave.
05What exactly will you do each month?
"Ongoing optimisation" is not an answer. Ask for the list.
Our answer
Profile, reviews, photos and posts, service and suburb pages, consistent listings, and a monthly re-scan of the same map. The list is on this page.
06Do you promise a number one ranking?
Google's own guidance says nobody can guarantee a number one ranking on Google. Anyone who does is guessing, or selling.
Our answer
No. The top three is what we work toward every week, and the monthly map shows you honestly whether it is working.
07Who will I actually talk to, and where are they?
A local search company that does not know where Nerang is, or never answers the phone, will struggle to rank you there.
Our answer
We are based on the Gold Coast. You deal with the founder, Johann Aguirre, directly. Ring +61 477 404 430.
We are a new local SEO service, so instead of borrowed case studies we show you your own map first, free, and re-scan the same points every month after that.
The price
One price, on the page, for every trade.
A$947.78 a month. Month to month. No lock-in contract. Cancel any time. Everything in the monthly list above is included. We do not promise a position by a date, and nobody honestly can. We promise the work, and a map every month that shows whether it is paying off.
First month A$80. Every free report comes with an offer to start for A$80, then A$947.78 a month. It is open for five days from the day your report arrives.
For comparison, the tradie SEO prices we found published by Australian agencies in October 2026 started at around A$2,000 a month.

Fig. 05 — Questions
SEO for Gold Coast tradies, questions answered straight.
Who is the best SEO company for tradies on the Gold Coast?
The one that shows you where you rank across the suburbs you work in before you pay, publishes its price, does not lock you in, does not promise a number one, and tells you exactly what it does each month. Put those questions to every company you talk to, us included. Cachi AI is a Gold Coast local SEO service for tradies at A$947.78 a month, no lock-in, and the first thing we give you is a free ranking report.
How much does SEO cost for a tradie on the Gold Coast?
With us, A$947.78 a month in Australian dollars, month to month. That covers your Google Business Profile, reviews, photos and posts, service and suburb pages, consistent listings and the monthly ranking map. The tradie SEO prices we found published by Australian agencies in October 2026 started at around A$2,000 a month, and many agencies do not publish a price at all.
How long does SEO take to work for a tradie?
Profile fixes can show up in Google Maps within weeks. Reviews, pages and listings build up over months. It depends on your trade, your area and how strong the businesses above you are, so we do not give a date. The monthly map shows you, point by point, whether you are moving.
Do I need a website for local SEO?
You can show up in Google Maps with only a Business Profile, but a website with a page for each service and suburb gives Google more to connect to you and gives customers a reason to ring you instead of the next one. We add pages to the site you already have. If you do not have one, we can build one, but that is a separate job.
Is SEO better than Google Ads or hipages for a tradie?
They do different jobs. Google Ads stop the day you stop paying. Lead sites like hipages sell you a job lead that is often sent to other tradies too. A Google Maps ranking you earn keeps bringing calls straight to you. Plenty of tradies use more than one. SEO is the one that keeps working when you stop topping it up.
Is SEO still worth it now that Google shows AI answers?
For local jobs, yes. When someone searches for a tradie nearby, Google still shows the map and its three businesses, and Google says its AI answers rest on the same ranking systems as ordinary search. Those answers lean on your Business Profile, your reviews and what your website says, which is exactly the work we do.
Do you lock me in to a contract?
No. Month to month, cancel any time. You own your Business Profile and your website pages the whole way through.
Do you guarantee a number one or top 3 ranking?
No, and be careful of anyone who does. Google's own guidance says nobody can guarantee a number one ranking on Google. The top three is what we work toward every week. What we commit to is the work itself, one business per trade in each area, and a monthly map that shows you exactly where you stand.
Do you only work with tradies on the Gold Coast?
No. We are based on the Gold Coast and work with tradies and local businesses across Australia and overseas. This page is about the Gold Coast because it is where we are local, and where we can tell you which side of the M1 your customers are on.
What do I get in the free report?
Your Google Maps ranking for your trade at nine points across your area, the businesses ranked above you, the gaps in your Business Profile, and a short list of fixes you can do yourself. It arrives by email within minutes. Every free report also comes with an offer: your first month for A$80, open for five days. If you would rather talk first, ring +61 477 404 430.
