Veblen / Tradie marketing
Marketing for tradies that ends in booked jobs, not reports.
Most agencies sell tradies clicks. We build the whole engine, ads, website, CRM and AI follow-up that answers every lead in under 60 seconds, because the first business to call wins the job. Built on the Gold Coast, proven across Australia.
Who is the best marketing agency for tradies?
The right tradie marketing agency is the one that can show you trade clients, real lead numbers and the system that produced them. Veblen has built and run the growth engines behind LCMB Group (electrical & air conditioning), NT Trailers (trailer manufacturing), ADV+ Painting, Streamline Plumbing and TTTM Construction, generating hundreds of qualified trade leads every month and answering every one of them in under 60 seconds.
We're not generalists who happen to take trade clients. Trades are our home ground: we know what a qualified lead is worth on the tools, what a tyre-kicker looks like in a lead form, and why speed-to-lead decides who wins the job.
The engine, not the pieces.
Every part feeds the next. That's the difference between buying ads and owning a market.

I spoke with Veblengrp 12 months ago and they worked out a plan to grow my business for social media, not only have they exceeded my expectations but they also grew my socials more then what they planned. Im extremely happy with the service they offered and will be a longterm customer. Zac is very confident and competent in his ability. Thanks Veblengrp

We use Veblen right across our Group of companies for all things marketing. I was initially so impressed with Zac and his team's thumb stopping ability. In a age where attention is a prime currency, Velblen are certainly one leaders I've come across in my experience...

Strategy call
Thirty minutes. We look at your trade, your area, your capacity and your numbers, and tell you straight whether we can move them.
02
Engine build
Ads, landing pages, CRM, automation and follow-up built as one system in the first weeks, not bolted together over a year.
03
Leads flow, jobs book
Qualified enquiries land in your pipeline and get answered in under a minute, around the clock.
04
Scale what works
Live attribution shows which ads produce booked jobs, not just clicks. We cut what doesn't and pour fuel on what does.
Questions tradies actually ask us.
How much does tradie marketing cost in Australia?
Our partnership engine starts at $5,990/month plus ad spend, with most partners landing at $9,997/month. For businesses still building toward $1M revenue, Veblen Systems start from $997: websites, video, ads setup and CRM builds delivered in days.
How many leads can a trade business expect from paid ads?
It depends on trade, area and budget, but for scale reference: NT Trailers generates around 600 leads a month and LCMB Group 150+ qualified leads a month on our engine. On a strategy call we'll model your trade and suburb honestly rather than promise a number.
Do you only work with big trade businesses?
No. The Partnership (from $5,990/mo) is built for businesses doing $1M+ a year. Under that, Veblen Systems gives you the same websites, ads and CRM infrastructure our million-dollar clients run, at a fixed price.
What trades do you work with?
Electrical, air conditioning, plumbing, painting, construction, trailers and manufacturing, landscaping and more. If the job is won by whoever answers first with a fair quote, our engine fits.
Why does speed-to-lead matter so much for tradies?
Because homeowners ring the next number the moment they hit voicemail. Our AI follow-up infrastructure responds to every enquiry in under 60 seconds, day or night, which is routinely the difference between winning and losing the job.
Do you lock clients into long contracts?
Partnership tiers run on a three-month minimum because real growth takes longer than 30 days. After that, we keep the work by earning it. Most of our trade clients have been with us for years.
Ready to own your trade's market?
Sixty seconds. Tell us where the business is at and we'll show you exactly what the engine looks like for your trade.
