The Benefits of a Digital Marketing Approach for Trades Businesses

Shaun Sadlier • 3 November 2022

More and more businesses are turning to digital marketing as a way to reach new customers. Tradepeople are no exception - in fact, trades businesses can benefit from a digital marketing approach more than most. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of using digital marketing to reach new customers and grow your trades business.

As the world becomes increasingly digital, so too do consumers' habits. People are spending more and more time online, and this trend is only set to continue. This presents a huge opportunity for businesses to reach their target audiences through digital channels. Tradepeople can use this to their advantage by utilising digital marketing techniques such as search engine optimisation (SEO), content marketing and social media marketing.


A well-executed digital marketing strategy will allow you to reach a wider audience than traditional marketing methods, and at a fraction of the cost. What's more, you can track the performance of your digital marketing campaigns in real-time, allowing you to make adjustments as necessary to maximise results.


If you're not already using digital marketing to grow your trades business, now is the time to start. The benefits are clear - so what are you waiting for?


Still not convinced? Here are three more reasons why digital marketing is the way to go for trades businesses:


1. You Can Target Your Ideal Customers


With digital marketing, you can specifically target the types of customers that you want to reach. For example, if you want to reach homeowners in a certain area, you can use targeted adverts on Google or Facebook. This ensures that your marketing budget is spent in the most effective way possible, and that you're not wasting time and money trying to reach people who are not interested in your services.


2. You Can Build Lasting Relationships


Digital marketing is not a one-time thing - it's an ongoing process that allows you to build relationships with your customers. Through regular engagement and providing valuable content, you can turn one-time customers into lifelong fans of your business. This is impossible to achieve with traditional marketing methods such as TV or print advertising.


3. You Can Measure Results


As we mentioned earlier, one of the biggest benefits of digital marketing is that you can track the performance of your campaigns in real-time. This allows you to see exactly what is working and what isn't, and make changes accordingly. With traditional marketing, it can be very difficult to measure results, meaning that you could be wasting money on ineffective campaigns.


There are countless reasons why digital marketing is the way to go for trades businesses. If you're not already using this approach to reach new customers, now is the time to get started.

Austin’s got that electric hum—SXSW stages buzzing with tech dreams, food trucks sizzling on South Congress, and startups strumming their own beat. This city thrives on bold moves, but for newbies, hitting the digital stage can feel like a wallet-draining encore. Freelancers slap you with $600-$1,200 upfront tabs, and a part-timer strumming at $13/hour (20 hours = $260) barely tunes the strings. Enter Leads Nurtured’s Pulse plan: $200/month for a pro website and marketing riff that keeps your Austin startup rocking without emptying the tip jar. Let’s crank up the volume on how Pulse jams for ATX dreamers. Austin’s Startup Symphony: Playing Digital Costs Like a Pro They call Austin the “Live Music Capital,” but it’s also a startup jam session—over 6,000 new acts took the stage in 2023 (Austin Chamber). To shine here, you’ve got to cut through the noise online, yet the price tags hit like a sour chord. A basic site? $800 upfront. Hosting? Another $15/month. SEO tools? $50+ to even start. A part-timer at $260/month might pluck a few notes, but they’re no maestro. Pulse remixes that mess, delivering a full setlist for $200/month—cheaper than a Sixth Street bar crawl. It’s your backstage pass to digital stardom, no cover charge required. Pulse: Your Austin Startup’s Roadie Kit Pulse isn’t just a website—it’s your crew, your gear, your soundcheck, all rolled into $200/month (3-month gig commitment). Here’s the lineup: 10 Pages of Duda Design : A slick, mobile-tuned site that riffs fast—perfect for Austin’s taco-munching, phone-scrolling crowd. Local SEO for One Area : Hit the charts with “Austin coworking” or “Zilker pet stores.” Domain, Hosting, and Free SSL : Locked-in, secure vibes—no sneaky fees crashing the party. Content Writing & Optimization : Lyrics that hook, crafted for Google’s ATX playlist. Web Maintenance & SEO Audit : We tweak the knobs, so you don’t miss a beat. Sitemap Creation & Google Submission : Quick spotlight for Austin searchers. SEO Progress Report : Monthly encore stats on your local groove. A part-timer’s $260/month? That’s a solo act with no amp. Pulse is your full band, rocking the house for less. Local SEO: Austin’s Backbeat to Winning Crowds In a city where 70% of folks scout locally before spending (BrightLocal, 2023), nailing searches like “best BBQ East Austin” or “Austin vinyl shops” is your ticket to the crowd. Pulse’s local SEO cranks the dial to your turf—Downtown, North Loop, or South First—without dropping $500+ on ad flyers that fade fast. It’s organic swagger that sticks, giving startups the mic in Austin’s packed digital venue. An Austin Tune: Pulse Hits the High Notes Picture a food truck parked off South First, grease sizzling, dreams grilling. They hopped on Pulse, snagging a 10-page site—menu, vibe, and a blog belting “top food trucks Austin.” We tuned their strings, pushed their sitemap to Google, and in a month, they were headlining page one. Crowds rolled in, wallets out—all for $200/month. A freelancer tried to charge $700 for a one-hit wonder with no SEO juice. Pulse spun them a chart-topper, proving it’s about the rhythm, not the ransom. How Pulse Keeps Austin Startups in the Mix No DIY Static : Learning Wix mid-setlist? That’s a month-long soundcheck. Pulse drops the beat in days. Cheap Chops, Big Sound : Austin designers jam at $40/hour—$800 for 20 hours. Pulse lays down design, SEO, and content for $200/month. Hands-Free Jamming : Server skips or plugin flops? We’re your roadies, so you keep rocking the hustle. Front-Row Ready : Local SEO outshines $400 ad runs, keeping you in the spotlight long-term. For founders juggling rent and Rainey Street pitches, Pulse is the riff that keeps the lights on. Austin’s Startup Stage: Why You Need Pulse Yesterday Austin’s startup tempo is wild—$5.5 billion in VC cash hit the scene in 2024 (PitchBook). That’s more players crowding the stage every day. A killer online gig isn’t optional—it’s the encore that seals the deal. Pulse hands you a site that struts like a $2,000 build, but you’re only dropping $200/month. Whether you’re coding in East Austin or slinging tacos on South Congress, this is your cue. Strike a Chord with Pulse in Austin Don’t let digital bills mute your Austin startup’s vibe. Pulse pumps affordable lead generation and visibility into your setlist. Ready to turn up the volume? Swing by leadsnurtured.com , sign up, and get online today—your ATX anthem starts now.
