About Leads For Tradies

A Palmerston North marketing agency built around one idea: tradies shouldn't pay a fixed fee for a phone that didn't ring.

Leads For Tradies is a pay-per-lead marketing agency for New Zealand trades. We run Google and Meta ads and build websites that bring homeowner enquiries to tradies, and you pay a set price for each qualified lead instead of a monthly retainer.

01Who we are

Liam EmeryFounder · In marketing since 2019

Running campaigns for local service businesses in New Zealand and for companies overseas.

Leads For Tradies Limited is based in Palmerston North and works with tradies across New Zealand. The business was founded in April 2025 by Liam Emery, who has worked in marketing since 2019, running campaigns for local service businesses in New Zealand and for companies overseas.

We started it because nearly every tradie who had worked with an agency before told us the same thing: they hated paying a fixed monthly fee whether or not any leads came in. So we built a model where our income depends on the leads we send.

02What we do

Option 01

We Fund It

We pay for the Google and Meta ads and build a dedicated website with your branding. Every enquiry goes to one business per trade per city, and you pay a set price per qualified lead. Free trials are available, depending on your trade, city and our availability.

Option 02

You Fund It

We run Google and Meta ads on your own ad accounts and website, so everything stays in your name. You pay Google or Meta for the ads, and us a lower flat fee per lead. It is not exclusive to you in your city.

One-off

Websites

A one-off build from $2,000 + GST, covering design, build and hosting at a fixed price quoted before we start. Built to turn visitors into calls and quote requests.
