Comparison
Who builds websites and does local SEO for tradies in Australia?
Disclosure: Appear is run by creativebyjake, which appears in this comparison. Every fact is from each provider's own pages with the date we read them, ours included.
These are the 23 providers ChatGPT, Claude or Bing named when we asked tradies' questions in October 2026, with creativebyjake added and marked as ours. 19 of the 23 show a website price on their own pages and 9 show a price for local SEO or Google listing work. Prices run from a weekly rental with no setup fee to custom builds in the tens of thousands, and the monthly fees after launch vary as much as the builds.

What to ask them: about the platform it builds on (Lovable) and the hosting it requires ($30 or $37 a month), and what a lead costs on its pay-per-lead plan, which its pages do not show.
How to choose
How should tradies choose between them?
- Own it or rent it? A weekly or monthly subscription costs little up front and more over time; a one-off build costs more up front.
- What does the first year cost in total? The build, plus hosting or care, plus SEO or ads if you take them.
- Is SEO in the build, sold monthly, or quoted? All three models are here; compare like with like.
- Does anyone promise rankings or a number of leads? Nobody controls Google. Treat a promise as a question to ask, not a reason to buy.
- Can you see live trade sites they built, and ring one of those tradies?
How was this put together?
We asked ChatGPT and Claude, each with web search on, the questions tradies ask about websites and local SEO (8 Oct 2026), and read the top of Bing Australia's results for the same questions (13 Oct 2026). Every Australian website or local SEO provider they named is here. Digital Marketing Tribe is here from a seventh question, "how do I get my small business recommended by ChatGPT": of the seven agencies named for it, it is the one with a page for tradies; the guide to being recommended names the others. We then read each provider's own home, pricing, niche, about and contact pages on 13 and 14 Oct 2026 and wrote down what they say, quoting prices exactly. We did not phone anyone or ask for quotes, so a provider that prices by quote shows "not shown". If a fact here is wrong or out of date, email creativebyjake@gmail.com and we will correct it and re-date the page.
Which providers show their prices?
Of the 23, these show a website price on their own pages: Webfrog Studios, Newcastle Web Co, WB Designs (Website by Designs), Michael Wolf, OnSite Websites, Tradie Developers, Tradie Web Guys, My Tradie Site, Aus Tradie Websites, Free Tradie Websites, HighStreet by Jezweb, Made by Max, Steel Cap Digital, ShareWeb, Systronic IT Group, Digital Marketing Tribe, Made 4 Tradies, 5 Star Tradie, The Site Studio. creativebyjake does too: $500 + GST, once.
What does a tradie website cost?
It depends who builds it and what is included. Every price these providers show, side by side, is in our tradie website cost guide.
Why is creativebyjake in this comparison?
Because creativebyjake runs this site and builds websites for tradies, leaving it out would be stranger than putting it in. It sits in the table on the same terms, read from its own pages on the same day, and the verdicts say where others are the better choice.
Did anyone pay to be listed?
No. Nobody here paid or was asked. The list is whoever the assistants and Bing named, and the links carry no sponsorship.
