How to Boost December Leads: Quick Fixes for Your Ads and SEO
As the year winds down, many businesses in Sydney see a sharp increase in demand for trade services. From last-minute renovations to urgent plumbing and electrical jobs, December is often a peak period for tradies. But if your digital marketing isn’t up to scratch, you could be missing out on high-value leads.
At DM Design Studio, we work with tradies across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to get their SEO and Google Ads campaigns in top shape before the holiday rush. With just a few key adjustments, you can boost visibility, generate more enquiries, and close the year with strong results.
Why December is a Critical Month for Tradies
Customers often want work completed before the holidays. Whether it’s a roof repair, AC install or bathroom renovation, these high-intent leads need a fast response. That means your business must show up in local search results, appear in Google Ads when it matters, and have a website that encourages quick conversions.
Quick SEO Fixes That Make a Difference
If your website isn’t visible in search results, now’s the time to act. Our team at DM Design Studio helps improve your site’s performance in just a few steps:
Update service pages with suburb names and seasonal keywords like "available before Christmas"
Optimise your Google Business Profile with accurate trading hours and location info
Refresh outdated website content and ensure your mobile site loads fast
We focus on localised search intent, getting you found when someone in Sydney searches for "plumber near me open now" or "emergency electrician before holidays."
Google Ads: Small Tweaks, Big Gains
Your existing campaigns may just need a refresh. We help tradies in Sydney achieve better results by:
Adjusting keyword targeting for urgent seasonal services
Updating ad copy to reflect limited-time availability
Adding suburb names to increase relevance
Launching short-term remarketing campaigns to reconnect with past visitors
December campaigns are all about urgency. When done right, they can outperform longer-term ads and deliver high return on ad spend in just a few weeks.
Convert More Visitors with Simple Website Tweaks
Your ad or search result is only as good as the landing page it leads to. If your site doesn’t make it easy to book or call, users may leave.
We recommend:
Adding a clear "Book Before Christmas" call to action
Highlighting emergency service availability on key pages
Displaying your service areas prominently
Using real project images for authenticity
Our team ensures your site loads quickly and looks great on mobile, two major factors in increasing conversion rates.
Focus on Suburb-Level Visibility
December search behaviour is hyper-local. Someone in the Inner West isn’t just looking for a "tradie in Sydney", they want someone in their suburb. We help our clients stand out by creating suburb-based service pages and ad campaigns that speak directly to local audiences.
This not only increases trust, but also improves click-through rates and engagement.
Review Your Google Business Profile
Many tradies forget to update their Google Business Profile ahead of the holidays. We help fix this by:
Ensuring hours reflect December trading
Adding seasonal posts and promotions
Uploading current project photos
Responding to recent reviews
This small effort can significantly improve your visibility in Google’s Local Pack.
December Content That Attracts Clicks
Beyond technical changes, we also recommend producing targeted content in December. A few examples include:
"Why You Should Book a Plumber Before the Holidays"
"Electrical Safety Checks for Sydney Homes This Summer"
"How to Prepare Your Garden for Christmas Entertaining"
This helps bring in long-tail keyword traffic while positioning your business as a helpful authority.
Last-Minute Remarketing
December is short, so remarketing becomes essential. Many customers browse and don’t act right away. We build short remarketing funnels via Google Display and Meta Ads that keep your business front of mind. These campaigns remind users to book before your calendar fills up.
