Somewhere in your suburb right now, a customer is searching "[your trade] near me" on Google. Maybe their hot water just blew. Maybe a tree's down across the driveway. Maybe they've been putting off a reno for six months and they're finally ready.
Your competitor shows up first. They get the call. Not because they're better than you — half the time they're not. They just paid someone to be visible. You're invisible. So the job goes to them.
Multiply that by every search this week, every week of the year. That's not a marketing problem. That's money walking past your front gate.

James was incredible to work with. Clearly explained each part of the process and was always available to answer questions over the phone. Looking forward to continuing to have him involved in my marketing strategy.
James built us a wonderful website... Communication was outstanding throughout, and James has a real gift for explaining things clearly... Since our new website launched, our club has grown in leaps and bounds. We would absolutely recommend Apex Trade Marketing without hesitation.

The things tradies actually ask before they pick up the phone.
Depends what you want it to do. Entry package is $997/mo (foundation — website, Google Business Profile, reviews, basic SEO). Growth at $1,997/mo covers most tradies who want their phone ringing consistently. Dominate at $2,997/mo is for the trades that want to own their suburb. Setup fees are one-off ($1K–$2K). Cheaper than hiring one extra hand. More predictable than word of mouth.
Yes. 90-day results guarantee. If you don't see measurable improvement in leads and visibility within 90 days, we refund your setup fee. We're not promising you'll triple your business in a week — anyone who promises that is full of it. We're promising the systems work, and we're confident enough to put our money on it.
Some things move fast. Google Business Profile optimisation can lift call volume within 2–3 weeks. Google Ads start producing the week they launch. SEO takes longer — proper rankings build over 60–120 days. Most clients see early wins within a month and the bigger compounding gains by month 3–6. We tell you upfront what's quick and what's slow.
Three things. One: we only work with tradies. We're not running campaigns for a dentist on Monday and a plumber on Tuesday. Two: our offer is one thing — get the phone ringing with customers ready to book. Not "brand awareness," not vague stuff that doesn't translate to bank account. Three: we built our systems on AI so we deliver results faster and cheaper than agencies still doing everything by hand.
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation. It's making sure when a homeowner asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity "best electrician near me," your business is the one those AI assistants recommend. It's the new SEO. Google search isn't dead, but more and more customers are asking AI before they Google. We optimise for both, and right now there are very few SEQ tradies even thinking about this — the early movers are owning their suburbs.
No. That's the whole point. You focus on the work — we run the marketing. You'll get a monthly report showing what worked, but you don't have to read it if you don't want to. The deal is: we get your phone ringing, you handle the calls.
No. If you can answer a phone call, you've got everything you need. We set up the website, manage your Google profile, run your ads, generate your reviews. The only tech you'll touch is your phone — which we're working on making ring.
Then you cancel. No lock-in contracts. We're month-to-month because if we're not delivering you should be able to walk. If you cancel we'll hand over your assets — your website, your Google Business Profile, your data — so you don't lose anything you've built.
No — different business. We're Apex Trade Marketing (apextrademarketing.com.au), based in Hervey Bay, run by James Summerill. The other one (apextradiemarketing.com.au — note the "die") is a separate business we have no affiliation with. Google and AI search engines sometimes mix us up. If you found us on a review or recommendation, double-check the URL before you call.
