FAQ

Common questions about AI & marketing tools for tilers.

What's the highest-ROI marketing tool for tilers in 2026?+

An AI-powered instant-reply and lead-capture system. Tilers typically convert 1–3% of website traffic; adding 60-second AI follow-up lifts that to 4–7%. On a $2,200–$18,000 average job, that's tens of thousands in extra monthly revenue from traffic you already have.

Should tilers still run Google Ads in 2026?+

Yes, but only after conversion is fixed. Spending $25/click on a website that converts at 1.5% is burning cash. Fix your lead response speed and booking flow first, then scale ads. Local Services Ads (pay-per-lead, not pay-per-click) usually outperform standard search ads for tiling businesses.

Do I need a chatbot on my tiling website?+

Only if it actually books jobs. A generic chatbot that spits FAQ answers is worse than nothing. You need an AI assistant that qualifies the job type (e.g. bathroom wall and floor tiling), confirms the suburb, checks your calendar and drops a booking straight into your job management software.

How do tilers rank in ChatGPT and Perplexity search results?+

Three things: (1) publish genuinely helpful pages that answer questions like "tiler near me" with structured FAQ schema, (2) keep your Google Business Profile consistent with your website, (3) earn citations from local directories and review platforms. AI engines pull from structured, consistent, authoritative sources.

Is job management software enough, or do I need lead-gen tools too?+

Job management software (ServiceM8, Tradify, AroFlo) organises what comes in — it doesn't generate or convert leads. You need both: a front-end system that captures and books enquiries, and a back-end system that schedules, invoices and dispatches. The best tilers run both, integrated.

What's a realistic monthly marketing budget for a growing tiler?+

For a 2–8 person tiling business, $4,000–$8,000/month is the sweet spot: ~$3K on conversion (Buzzlink), $1–3K on Google Ads, and $0–2K on SEO content. Spend more only after you've proven conversion — otherwise you're pouring water into a leaky bucket.
