I'm a tradie-Do I need a website

You bet you do!!A lot of home building and renovating professionals I talk to (usually in the pub or out scuba diving) say they hardly play around with the internet or are simply too busy to use it.Guess what?  You can guarantee that your potential customers do. Over 70% of people building or renovating are using the internet as their primary tool for researching data and locating products and services just like yours.  Whether it's Landscaping, Window Installation, brick layers, pavers, painters you name it...people are searching the internet for you as I type this.Did you know only 40% of Small Business in Australia have a Website? Are you going to be ahead of the curve or slagging behind?

Tradies Websites OfferDid you see the story on Today Tonight or (whichever current affairs show it was) the other evening saying that Home Renovations in Perth were surging?  Are you seeing it in your business?  If not, how can you let people know you're available?

Get ahead of your competition in a tough economy today. Get a professional website.

Stand out from the Crowd in Perth - Get a Website for Your Small Business

Having your own website makes you stand out from the crowd by reinforcing your professionalism in the minds of potential customers. Having your website address and business email address on your business cards, letterheads, and profile sheets etc.. It shows your potential and existing clients that you are a real, serious business and not just some bloke who thew a sign on the back of his ute.

Are you proud of the jobs you've completed?

Show them off on your website.

Show off what type of work you are initerested in doing by displaying past jobs. That way when you call someone from receiving a joblead (of from any other source) and they ask what sort of work you do, your license details and can you offer any referrals, you can simply give them your website address and tell them to check it out.

Better Small Business Contact Details

Having a website that contains your contact info, your business address and license details gives peace of mind to a potential customer that they'll always be able to reach you - one way or another.

Additionally, having an email address such as This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for example is a lot easier for a client to remember than This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if they need to send you paperwork, job details, contracts etc.  

You can also include a request for quote form on your website, allowing potential customers to let you know what they need done.  You collect their contact details to follow up with them when it's convenient.

Free Advertising With Your Website

By doing a few simple things to optimise your website, you can have your business come up in front of anyone looking for the type of work you do in Google, Yahoo, MSN and all other search engines. As we include all of this and can assist you in optimising your website at no extra cost, you'd be a nutter not to have a website out there working for you 24/7.

All this sounds great but does it work?

Recently, BCMS was pleased to launch www.KeyPainting.com.au a commercial and residential painting site in Perth.  Here's what Nick at Key Painting had to say about having a website for his painting business.

Richard at Business Content has helped develop my business exponentially. Since creating a web page for Key Painting my in-box has been full of requests for quotes. My experience with computers and the internet has been limited and it always seemed so complex. Rich simplified the process for me with his vast knowledge and experience and I recommend him to anybody who wants to expand their business. Because of Rich, my business has been the top site hit when searching for Painters in Perth WA. Richard Bean is an absolute champion!!!

Are people really finding his website in Perth?  

Absolutely. In only a few short weeks, here's a quick list of where you will find Key Painting in Google:

Residential Painter Perth - 2 and 3
Perth Residential Painter - 3 and 4
Perth Commercial Painter - 5 and 6
Commercial Painter Perth - 6 and 7
Perth House Painter - 6
Perth Painting Quote - 7 and 8
House Painter In Perth - 10
Perth Painting Contractor - 10

That's not including the google local business search results that Nick was talking about in his testimonial.

Where does your website rank?  Do you have one working for you 24 hours a day?

We know...you don't have time to mess around right? You're busy running your business and doing jobs for clients.  We understand that.  In fact BCMS is now offering a Tradesman Website Special. we're calling it BCMS UTE.
