I'm on the tools myself. I watch good tradies go quiet while the blokes advertising on Facebook and Instagram clean up. So we run those ads for you — and make all the content — to get a steady flow of local jobs landing in your phone. 8 qualified leads in your first 30 days, or your money back.
I hear this on site all the time. Tradies who've run on word-of-mouth for years, and now the phone's gone quiet. It's not that the work dried up — it's that customers are scrolling Facebook and Instagram, and the tradie whose ad they see is the one who gets the call.
When someone needs a job done now, they don't flip through the phonebook. They see an ad, they tap it, they enquire. If you're not in that feed, you're not in the running — and you never even know the job existed.
"I'm on the tools every day. I see what happens when a good tradie isn't getting in front of people. The work goes to someone else — and the tradie never even knows why."
Your competitors' ads are in front of your customers — yours aren't
Homeowners scroll straight past you to whoever shows up
Your best jobs never get seen by the people who'd hire you
Feast and famine — never knowing where the next job's coming from
"I'm a tradie. I know exactly what it's like to be on the tools — and I know exactly what not getting in front of people is costing you."
Most marketing agencies have never picked up a tool in their life. They don't understand the work, they don't understand the clients, and they don't understand why tradies are skeptical of agencies in the first place.
We're different. SB Marketing's run by two co-founders — Sam Sheldrick, a tradie who's been on the tools and knows your world inside out, and Barney Sullivan, a content creator who knows exactly how to stop the scroll and make you look the part online.
So you get both halves: someone who actually gets the trade, and someone who makes the ads that get people to call. Done for you, so you stay on the tools.
One monthly price. Risk-free to start. We run it all — you stay on the tools.
We build, run and manage your campaigns end-to-end — the proven lead-gen system, dialled in for your trade and your area.
We make the ads — owner videos, photos of your work, the lot. You don't lift a finger, and it looks like you, not a stock template.
Enquiries land in your phone within minutes — name, number, and exactly what they need done.
Your ads only show to homeowners in your actual service area. No wasted spend on people you can't get to.
We filter out the tyre-kickers so you're only talking to people who genuinely want the work done.
The second a lead comes in, they get an instant text — so you never lose a job to a slow callback.
A quick weekly update — leads in, what's working, what's next. Plain English, no jargon.
Our 30-day pilot guarantee. If we don't get you 8 qualified leads, you don't pay a cent. The risk's on us.
We keep it simple. No lengthy discovery sessions, no back-and-forth for months.
Tell us about your business — your trade, your area, the jobs you want more of. 20 minutes on the phone is enough to get started.
We set up your campaign and make the content for you. You see it all before anything goes live. If you want changes, we make them.
Your ads go live and enquiries start hitting your phone. We chase them fast, you quote the good ones. Simple.
Everything above, fully managed for you. Month 1 is a risk-free pilot — 8 qualified leads or your money back.
