CASE STUDY

Your Instagram Is a Shop Window. A Website Is the Cash Register.

A Perth landscaper with 15K Instagram followers had stunning photos and barely any bookings. TradesPro connected the two: Instagram-to-website funnel pushed conversion from 1% to 8%.

Instagram-driven site visits

15,000 followers, beautiful photos, and barely any bookings. Instagram was a gallery without a checkout.

A Perth landscaper with 5 years in business had built a following of 15,000 on Instagram. Her feed was stunning — garden transformations, native plant designs, outdoor entertaining spaces. Lots of likes, lots of comments, but only 2–3 actual jobs per month. The problem: followers saw the photos but had no idea what services cost, how to book, or whether she was available for their project.

She was spending 10 hours a week on Instagram — shooting, editing, posting, engaging — with almost no measurable return. The conversion rate from Instagram to booking was 1%. She was effectively running a marketing channel that generated engagement but not revenue. Meanwhile, competitors with simple websites were capturing the customers who searched Google for "landscaper Perth" after seeing a post.

How TradesPro solved it

The Instagram feed stayed the hero — but now it feeds into a website that converts followers into paying customers.

Instagram-embedded website

Her Instagram feed streams directly onto the homepage — visitors see fresh content automatically. The site gives context that Instagram can't: service descriptions, pricing ranges, service areas, and a clear booking path.

Transparent pricing by service type

Clear pricing ranges for garden design, soft landscaping, hardscaping, and maintenance. Followers who saw beautiful photos could now immediately see what each service costs — no more DMs asking "how much?"

Service-select booking form

Clients choose the type of landscaping, estimated area size, and their preferred timeline. Leads arrive pre-qualified — she knows the scope before she picks up the phone.

Free consultation email sequence

Automated emails to new enquiries offering a free on-site consultation. This warm follow-up converted 30% of cold leads into booked consultations within the first week.

Frequently asked questions

About this case study and what it means for landscapers like you.
