WEBSITE CHECK FOR TILERS
Bathroom and splashback photos do the selling for a tiler. Find out whether they're also slowing your website down.
Photos sized to the screen load in a fraction of the time of full-size originals.
Bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor areas, the tile types you work with. That's how people search.
If your form can't take one, say where to text or email it.
GETTING AHEAD OF THE OTHERS
Tiling customers are usually mid-renovation and they shop with their eyes. They look for bathrooms like theirs, check that you lay the tile they’ve chosen, and want to know whether waterproofing is part of the job.
Bathrooms, kitchens and splashbacks, laundries, floors, outdoor areas. Customers think in rooms.
Porcelain, natural stone, mosaics, large-format tiles. Someone who has already bought their tiles is looking for a tiler who lays that kind.
Say whether you do it or work with someone who does, and what paperwork the customer receives. It’s the question behind many bathroom enquiries.
By form or by text. A photo of the room and the tile gets you to a quote quicker than a description.
It’s the free listing with your name, hours and reviews that shows in Google Search and Maps. Keep your name, number and areas the same there as on your website, and link the two.
Send the customer your review link the day you finish. Real reviews only: fake or paid ones break Google’s rules and Australian consumer law.
TEN MINUTES, YOUR OWN PHONE
The free check measures speed, search basics and security. These are the things only you can test.
TILERS ASK
Mostly finished rooms, with a few in-progress shots of set-out and waterproofing. They show the care nobody can see once the tiles are down.
Keep Instagram, and put your best dozen on your own website too. Not every customer uses the app, and a page you own is easier for Google to read.
Google’s phone speed test counts 90 or more as good and under 50 as poor. On 12 November 2026 we measured 13 Melbourne tilers’ websites. At least half scored 81 or more on the phone speed test, and 4 scored 90 or more. See the scoreboard. Scores move a few points between runs, so go by the pattern rather than one number.
Not on its own. A fast site takes away a reason to give up and ring someone else, and it gives everything else on this page a better chance of being seen. The work still has to be good, and no website check measures that.
