Yes — SEO has evolved but is more important than ever. AI-powered search tools like Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT still pull answers from well-optimised, authoritative websites. Trades businesses that rank well organically are also more likely to be cited when people ask trade-related questions through AI assistants.
You need a verified Google Business Profile with accurate name, address, phone number, and business category. Regular posts, job photos, and consistent reviews all improve your ranking. Your website also needs suburb-level content matching your service areas. Jelly Digital includes full GBP setup and optimisation in every SEO package.
