What Ash Huskisson Masonry’s AI SEO team did

What does SEO for a tradie actually involve?

Showing up in the map results and AI answers for your trade, in every area you work, and making the call easy.

  1. Your Business Profile, full and current

    Your hours, services, areas and job photos kept up to date, with a post every week. The listing in Google Maps is where most local calls start.

    Your Business Profile, run for you
  2. A page for each area and job type

    Palmerston, Howard Springs, Humpty Doo: each area and each kind of job gets its own page, so you show up when someone searches there.

  3. Job photos, with a line each

    Your photos go on your listing and your pages, each with a line about the job. Customers see the work, and Google and AI answers can read it.

  4. Reviews replied to the same day

    Every review gets a reply the same day, and recent customers get a friendly ask for one.

  5. Named in AI answers

    When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google’s AI for a tradie near them, the answer leans on your listing, your pages and your reviews. Your team works on those and checks every month whether you’re named.

Questions

Is SEO dead now with AI?

No. It moved. More customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google’s AI who to call, and those answers lean on the same things as Google: your listing, your pages and your reviews. Your team works on both. Is SEO dead now with AI?

How much should I expect to pay for SEO?

Most Australian agencies publish about A$600 to A$3,000 a month for a small business’s local SEO. With us it’s A$749 a month, with your website included. How much does SEO cost in Australia?

Can ChatGPT do my SEO?

It can draft words, but it can’t run your listing, fix your site, check where you show up every week or measure what worked. Your team uses AI to do more, and every change is checked before it goes live.

Do I have to write anything?

No. Your team writes the pages. Job photos with a line about each job help, and that’s about 15 minutes a month. You say yes or no to the few things that are yours, like your prices.

Where should tradies advertise?

We don’t run paid ads. Your team works on the places customers already look without paying per click: your Google listing, your website, AI answers and the local directories AI reads, which your team checks rather than buys.

See your new homepage before you spend a cent

We design your new homepage and a report on where you show up today, usually within a few days. No charge, no commitment, and we’ll tell you honestly if we’re not the right fit.
