10 Best Digital Marketing Tools for Aussie Tradies in 2025

**UPDATED June 2025**
Forget old-school tools from 2023. If you’re a tradie looking to market smarter — not harder — here are the tools we actually recommend (and how to use them properly).
### 1. **Meta Ads (formerly Facebook Ads)**
Still the highest ROI channel for tradies — especially when using Lead Forms. With Facebook’s new AI audience tools, most of the targeting is done for you.
✅ Tip: Use Meta’s Lead Form + Instant Experience format for prefilled quotes and fast customer follow-up.
### 2. **Blaze AI**
AI content engine built for trade businesses. You feed it topics (e.g. “quote reminders”, “roofing checklist”), and it drafts content you can publish, post, or email.
✅ Use it to auto-generate content ideas, service descriptions, carousel copy, or even quote follow-ups.
### 3. **Google Sheets + Templates**
Still the best free backend for campaign planning. Build a quoting content bank. Feed that into social posts. Turn it into testimonial workflows.
✅ Combine with Canva or Blaze AI to scale output from one Google Sheet.
### 4. **Canva**
For carousels, quote graphics, and testimonial visuals. Still the easiest for tradies or VAs to use.
✅ Build a few templates and clone them weekly. No more starting from scratch.
### 5. **Zapier**
It glues your marketing stack together. Auto-send email replies when a lead fills a quote form. Trigger SMSs from new Airtable records.
✅ Think: “When someone books a job → add them to SMS review campaign.”
