FREE ONLINE WORKSHOP FOR KIWI TRADIES

AI for Tradies: Get Found and Make Social Media Easier

The way customers find a local tradie has changed. In one hour: how to get found when they search with AI, and how to use AI to make your own social media faster and easier.

Wednesday 29 July · 6:30pm to 7:30pm (NZST) · Online, Live

Free to attend. Can't make it live? Register anyway and we'll send you the replay!

Word of mouth isn't the whole story anymore.

Referrals still matter. But these days, before anyone picks up the phone, they check you out first. They'll Google you, scroll the local Facebook groups, and some are now even asking ChatGPT for a good sparky nearby.

Whoever shows up first, that looks legit, tends to get the call. And what does show up when someone searches is changing fast as AI reshapes the online space.

The first half of this workshop is about getting found in that new landscape, on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT.

But AI can do more for you than just that. Used well, it takes a big chunk of the social media grunt work off your plate, so staying visible stops eating your evenings. That's the second half.

You don't need to become a marketer or spend hours on your phone. You'll leave knowing where customers are looking now, and how to put AI to work across both.

You'll leave knowing where customers are looking now, and how to put AI to work on the parts of your marketing you'd rather not do yourself.

What we'll cover in the hour:

PART 1:

Getting Found Online

with David Remmerswaal, Dimple Digital

  • How AI is changing the way people search

  • Why AI search matters for trades businesses specifically

  • How to get your business showing up when someone searches, on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT

PART 2:

Using AI to make Social Media Easier

with Jodine McIntyre, Social Smarty

  • How to get AI doing the heavy lifting on your posts: ideas, captions and planning, so it stops eating your evenings

  • The trick to keeping AI content sounding like you, not a robot

  • A simple, AI-assisted routine you can actually stick to, without living on your phone

You'll leave the session knowing exactly where to focus, and what to do first.

This is for you if:

✔️ You run a trade or home services business (builder, sparky, plumber, painter, landscaper, roofer, tiler, mechanic, or similar)

✔️ You know you should be easier to find online, but you're not sure where to start

✔️ You'd rather be on the tools than fiddling with marketing

✔️ You want more of the right enquiries without living on your phone

If you're already booked solid and don't want another job, you can skip this one.

Yip, it sure is. No catch, no card required.

Do I have to be there live?

Live is best because you can ask questions, but register anyway and we'll send you the replay to watch when it suits.

I'm not techy. Will I keep up?

You will. Both of us teach in plain English, no jargon, no assuming you already know this stuff.

Will you try to sell me something?
