Each search wants something different. The course shows which page wins each one. Then Smoko builds that page for you.

| bathroom tiler [suburb] | Someone who does full bathrooms, not just patches | A bathroom page with local before and afters |
| tiling cost per m2 | A ballpark before they pick up the phone | A service page with honest price ranges |
| regrout shower [suburb] | A fix for mouldy or leaking grout this week | A regrouting page and a profile that says open now |

- What is SEO?
- Why it matters?
- How Tradies Get Found Now
- Mistakes to Avoid
A Frankston homeowner types 'bathroom tiler near me' and sees ads and the map before any website, while a question like 'can you tile over old tiles' can bring up an AI answer first. Buying cheap links or stuffing 'tiler' into your business name does more harm than good.

Questions wall and floor tilers ask
Do tilers really need SEO if builders keep them busy?
If builders keep you booked, maybe not. But builder work can dry up, and direct homeowner jobs mean you set the price and the schedule. People search for a bathroom tiler every day, and the tiler they find gets the call.
I only post photos on Instagram. Does Google care?
Yes. Google can show public posts from an Instagram business account in search, but they do not appear on your Google profile or in the map results. Upload the same before and afters to your profile and your service pages, and name the job type and suburb with each one.
How many reviews do I need to show up in the map results?
There is no set number. What matters is steady recent reviews that mention the job, like a bathroom or splashback, and the suburb. A run of recent reviews can count for more than a pile from years ago.
One tiling page, or separate pages for bathrooms, floors and splashbacks?
Separate pages tend to do better. Someone searching for a splashback tiler wants a page about splashbacks, with photos of that job, not a general list. Keep each page short: what you do, where you do it, a few real jobs, and how to call you.
How do I get mentioned when someone asks an AI for a tiler near them?
Nobody can promise that. AI tools tend to pull from what is already public: your Google profile, your service pages, suburb pages where you have real jobs to show, and reviews that name the job. Clear, consistent details across all of those help. Vague pages with no suburb give them little to work with.
Do I need a website for this?
Not to start. Your Google profile can do a lot on its own. If you have a website, Smoko drafts service and suburb pages for it from Tradie School's templates, for you to check.
I'm a one-person business. Is this worth it?
Yes. Someone searching for a tradie nearby wants the job done well, not a big crew. Smoko drafts everything from your answers and photos for you to check, so it doesn't eat your evenings.
How long until I show up higher?
No one can honestly promise a date or a spot. Google takes time to pick up changes, and every trade and area is different. This course helps you get the basics right and keep them right.
Will Smoko change my Google profile or website without asking?
No. Smoko drafts every change and shows it to you first. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
