Every trade page we take on has the same three things holding it back. Fix these and the follows and enquiries start coming.
Open your page next to this and be honest. Takes two minutes.
Answer the checks below.
People can’t tell what you do in three seconds
Your profile is your shopfront. Someone lands on it from a reel and decides in a few seconds if you’re the bloke for their job. If they can’t tell what you do, where you work and how to get a quote, they’re gone.

What we’d do first
Fix the shopfront. Bio: what you do, where, and how to book. Three highlights: Jobs, Reviews, Quote. Ten minutes and every view from a reel turns into more enquiries.
It’s all finished jobs and no people
Homeowners hire people, not photos of decks. If your face or your crew isn’t on the page, you look like every other tradie in the suburb. The pages that grow are the ones where you get to know the bloke behind the business.

What we’d do first
One talking video a week. You or your crew, on site, answering a question a client asked you. No script. That one change does more than any amount of nice photos.
There’s no rhythm
Five posts one week, then nothing for two months. That tells Instagram, and anyone checking you out, that you’ve gone quiet. Consistency beats quality every time.

What we’d do first
Three posts a week, same days every week: a job in progress Monday, teach one thing Wednesday, a finished job Friday. Here’s the full weekly rhythm.
