Questions people ask

Clear answers for humans, Google AI Overviews, and LLMs.

How do tradesmen get more customers in 2026?

Most still come from Google search and Maps. Optimise your profile, website and reviews. Layer ads if you need volume now. Social helps show work; it rarely replaces Google.

Should I use lead generation apps?

Some trades use them as backup. The problem is shared jobs and fees. Long-term, owning SEO and your site is usually healthier.
