The problem

Competing on price with every other painter?

You're a quality painter. Your work lasts. So why are you fighting with $25/hour cowboys for every quote?

✕ Undercutters winning jobs on price alone
✕ Customers don't see the quality difference
✕ No way to justify your pricing
✕ Inconsistent job flow
Our approach

How we help painters win quality work.

01

Google Ads targeting quality clients

We bid on intent terms that signal a quality client (heritage restoration, colour consultation, premium exterior repaint) rather than generic "painter near me". Ad copy filters out price-shoppers before they click.

Why it works for painters: a $25K exterior repaint client is worth 20x a $2K interior touch-up. Bid where the quality clients search, not where the cowboys are.
02

SEO for residential + commercial

Separate ranking strategies for residential (homeowner buyer journey) vs commercial (strata, body corporate, property managers). Different keywords, different content, different conversion paths.

Why it works for painters: commercial repeat clients are gold. One body corporate relationship is 5-10 buildings/year. We help you find those.
03

Before/after portfolio

Every job becomes a before/after content piece on your website (and social). Photography is half the marketing for painters. We build the workflow to capture, edit, and publish project content properly.

Why it works for painters: painters live or die on visual proof. A scroll-stopping before/after carousel sells more than any written copy ever will.
04

Review generation

Painting customers are usually happy when the job finishes. They just need to be asked. We build review-request workflows (SMS + email at job completion) so your Google reviews compound over time.

Why it works for painters: 50+ Google reviews at 4.7 stars beats any ad copy ever written. Reviews compound. Each new one is permanent social proof.

Common questions

The questions painters ask us most.

How do I compete with cheap painters?
You don't. You position yourself differently. We attract quality-focused clients (homeowners doing a full repaint, body corporates with rotating maintenance) where price isn't the only factor. Pre-qualifying ad copy filters out the bargain hunters at the click level.
What's the best way to show quality difference?
Before/after photography. Painting is the most visual trade. We build the content workflow (capture, edit, publish) and the website portfolio that lets prospects SEE the difference between rushed work and proper prep. Photography is half the marketing for painters.
Can you help me get more commercial work?
Yes. Commercial work has a different sales cycle (strata managers, body corporates, property managers). Different keywords, different content, different relationships. We help build the foundation for commercial repeat work.
How much should a painting business spend on marketing?
It really depends. Three things drive the right number: your location (CPCs vary 5-10x between major-city and regional markets), your competition (how many other specialists are bidding on your terms), and your account setup (a properly built account converts 3-5x better than a poor one). We give a real recommendation in the free marketing review based on your specific business, not a generic range.
How long until I see results?
Google Ads typically produces first leads inside month one. SEO traction in 3-6 months. Most painter clients see meaningful flow within 60-90 days when both run in parallel.
Do you work with other painters in my area?
No directly competing painters in the same service area. If you sign on, your suburb cluster is yours.
Will you photograph my work?
We partner with photographers for shoots, or we use your existing project imagery. For ongoing content, we set up a phone-photo workflow so you can capture sites yourself and we'll handle the editing.
Do you work with painters outside the Gold Coast?
Yes. We work with painters across Australia. Same methodology, adapted to your local market.
