Carpenters · New Zealand

Carpentry

Example business: a 4-person carpentry and joinery firm based in Christchurch, serving the wider Christchurch area and focused on decks and outdoor living, plus renovations. Businesses like this often get many enquiries through Builderscrack and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often goes to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive quote requests, a lower cost per project and a pipeline the owner controls.

The challenge

Where a business like this gets stuck

  • Carpentry covers everything from small repairs to custom joinery, and generic marketing attracts the low-value end.
  • Quality craftsmanship is hard to show on a basic website, so buyers compare on price instead.
  • Many carpenters depend on builders for work, leaving them exposed when a builder's pipeline slows down.
  • Peak season (deck and outdoor work peaks in spring and summer) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.

The approach

Three services, one goal

This example focuses on SEO, Prospect Outreach (LinkedIn Sales Navigator) and Website Development, three channels that can suit carpentry and joinery businesses in Christchurch. Every call, form and chat is tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so decisions are based on revenue, not clicks.

Service 2

Prospect Outreach (LinkedIn Sales Navigator)

  • Define the ideal customer profile and build target accounts in LinkedIn Sales Navigator: builders, interior designers, architects and fit-out firms.
  • Save lead searches with alerts for job changes, new projects and company growth, so outreach starts with a real reason to talk.
  • Run a multi-step manual sequence from the owner's profile: personalised connection note, value message, example and a meeting request, within LinkedIn's weekly limits.
  • Log every conversation in the CRM and hand warm replies to the owner with account notes before each call.

Website Development

  • Design and build a new website on a fast, lightweight stack, replacing an outdated template site.
  • Structure the site around services, locations and projects, with a filterable project gallery.
  • Aim for a strong mobile Lighthouse score with compressed images and no page builder bloat.
  • Set up redirects for every old URL to protect rankings in the move, and connect GA4, Search Console and call tracking.
