Marketing for tradies, built from the homeowner's side of the fence

We build and run the Website and Enquiry System. It gets trade businesses found, answers the phone when they can't, and follows up until the job books.

How it started

John Kiama has been building websites and running marketing since 2004. Along the way he's also been the customer. Renovations, repairs, landscaping, a bit of small building work.

He kept seeing the same thing from both sides of the fence. Good tradies losing jobs to average ones. Not because of the work. Because the good tradie didn't pick up, didn't call back, or had a website that told you nothing.

The average tradie wasn't better. He was faster to reply and easier to find.

So John built a system that does the replying and the being found, and rents it to trades for one monthly price. That's Local Demand Partners.

What we think about marketing

  • Most of it is more complicated than it needs to be. A tradie needs to be found, to answer, and to follow up. That's the job. Everything else is extra.

  • Speed wins more jobs than skill. The first tradie to reply usually gets the quote. The system replies in under 60 seconds so that's you.

  • A website on its own just sits there. It only earns its keep when it's wired to the text back, the follow-ups and the reviews.

  • You should be able to see it working. Every enquiry lands in your inbox, and every text back is saved. If we can't show it, we don't claim it.

  • You should own your stuff. Your website, domain, data and reviews. If you leave, it goes with you.
