Trade Page FAQs | Business Advertising Questions and Answers

Question 1

How does Trade Page work?

Accepted Answer

Trade Page offers exclusive suburb-based advertising for businesses. When you advertise with us, you get exclusive rights in your chosen suburbs, meaning no other business in your trade can be featured for the same primary service in those areas. This ensures you have unique exposure to local customers seeking your services, while also maintaining keyword exclusivity within those locations.

Question 2

How do I choose my suburbs?

Accepted Answer

It's easy - just let us know where you want to be seen and we'll help you target the suburbs that matter most to your business. Whether you're focusing locally or expanding, you have full control over your advertising reach. This targeted approach ensures your marketing budget works effectively in the areas that matter most to your business.

Question 3

How soon can I get started?

Accepted Answer

It's as simple as a phone call. Contact our team to check both suburb and trade availability in your target areas. We can confirm which suburbs are available for your specific trade, answer any questions and get you started today. Once everything is confirmed, we'll create your professional landing page and help you start connecting with customers right away.

Question 4

How long are the contracts?

Accepted Answer

For optimal performance, we recommend contract terms of 6 or 12 months. However, we understand that every business has unique needs, so we offer flexibility in choosing the contract term that best suits your goals. We're here to listen and help find the right solution for your business.

Question 5

What does Trade Page advertising include?

Accepted Answer

Our advertising packages include professional business listings, local SEO optimisation, Google My Business optimisation and ongoing marketing support. We focus on making you visible to customers in your local area who are actively searching for your services.

Question 6

How is Trade Page different from hipages and other lead generation sites?

Accepted Answer

Unlike lead generation platforms where you compete with multiple businesses for the same job, Trade Page gives you direct advertising space. You own your visibility, don't pay per lead, and there's no commission on jobs you win. You're not bidding against competitors - customers contact you directly based on your advertising.

Question 7

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

We offer transparent, fixed-price advertising packages starting from $99/month. No setup fees, no commissions and no costs. You pay a flat monthly fee and keep 100% of the work you win. Contact us for a custom quote with flexible payment options to suit your business needs.

Question 8

Do I get exclusive rights to my suburbs?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We select only one business per trade per location, giving you exclusive advertising rights in your chosen areas. This eliminates platform competition and positions you as the featured provider for your suburbs.

Question 9

Can I advertise in multiple suburbs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer multiple location deals that allow you to expand your coverage area cost-effectively across several suburbs or regions.

Question 10

Can I change my suburbs later?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can adjust your suburbs as your business grows, subject to availability. Whether you want to expand into new areas or focus on specific locations, we can help you modify your coverage. Please note that changes to your suburbs may incur additional fees based on location and adjustments required.

Question 11

Do you work in my area?

Accepted Answer

We work with businesses across all Australian states and territories. Our local SEO strategies are customised for your specific location, whether you're in a major city or regional area.

Question 12

How do customers find my Trade Page?

Accepted Answer

Your Trade Page is optimised for local searches in your chosen suburbs. When potential customers search for services in your area, they'll find your business - not a list of competitors. This targeted approach helps you connect with customers ready to engage with your services.

Question 13

What kind of results can I expect?

Accepted Answer

While results may vary by industry and location, our exclusive suburb rights ensure that you're the only business for your chosen primary trade service in your selected suburbs. This focused approach typically leads to higher-quality leads and better conversion rates compared to traditional directories.

Question 14

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most businesses start seeing improved online visibility within 2-4 weeks. However, building strong local search presence and customer recognition is a long-term strategy. We focus on sustainable growth rather than quick fixes that don't last.

Question 15

What support do you provide?

Accepted Answer

Our team is here to help you maximise your Trade Page success. We provide ongoing support, marketing insights and guidance to help your business grow in your target markets.

Question 16

Do you guarantee leads or work?

Accepted Answer

We don't guarantee specific numbers of leads because that would require us to charge per lead (which defeats the purpose). Instead, we guarantee quality advertising placement and ongoing optimization. Our goal is sustainable, long-term visibility that builds your business reputation.

Question 17

What types of businesses can advertise on Trade Page?

Accepted Answer

We work with all types of Australian trades and service businesses: electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers, cleaners, landscapers, automotive services, beauty services, real estate, and professional services. If you serve local customers, we can help.

Question 18

Is this just for tradespeople?

Accepted Answer

No! While we're popular with trades, we help all types of local service businesses. This includes professional services, beauty salons, fitness trainers, consultants and any business that wants direct customer connections without middleman fees.

Question 19

What if I already have a website?

Accepted Answer

Great! We can work with your existing website and optimise it for better local search results. If your current website needs improvement, we can discuss upgrade options. We're flexible and work with what you have.

Question 20

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel at any time. Please note that early cancellation requires payment of the remaining membership fees for your contracted term, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.
