The Problem

Most Agencies Don't Get
Your Business

They've never sold a job door-to-door, managed a crew, or explained to a homeowner why quality costs more. You deserve an agency that does.

❌
They don't know your sales cycle
A patio cover isn't an impulse buy. Your agency needs to understand how homeowners make high-ticket decisions — and build campaigns around that reality.
❌
They waste your budget on the wrong audience
Renters. Out-of-market clicks. Tire-kickers. Generic agencies don't know how to target qualified homeowners with real buying intent.
❌
They can't speak your customer's language
The copy that converts a homeowner into a booked appointment is completely different from what works in ecommerce or SaaS. Most agencies write the wrong thing.
✅
We've actually been in your shoes
One of our founders built a patio cover company from zero to $700K. We know the industry from the inside out — and we bring that edge to your marketing.
Our Unfair Advantage

The Only Blue Collar
Agency That Actually
Built One.

We're not consultants who read case studies about your industry. We built a patio cover company from zero — ran the ads, gave the quotes, managed the crews, closed the jobs — scaled it to $700K in the first year, and exited. No other marketing agency serving blue collar businesses can say that. That experience is baked into everything we do for you.

Case Study

We Didn't Just Study
the Trades. We Built One.

Our co-founder didn't hire a marketer — he became one. Here's what happened when someone who knew the trades learned to dominate them digitally.

Sunblockers:
$0 → $700K
In One Year

Starting from scratch with zero revenue, zero brand recognition, and a competitive local market, our co-founder used paid ads, conversion-focused web pages, and a systematic follow-up process to build Sunblockers into a $700,000/year operation — without outside funding.

What We Do

Everything You Need
To Dominate Your Market

We don't hand you a report and disappear. We run the campaigns, optimize the pages, and post the content — so you can focus on delivering the work.

📣

Paid Ads

Google and Meta campaigns built specifically for blue collar businesses. We target homeowners with real buying intent and optimize every dollar for booked appointments — not just clicks.

  • Google Search + Local Service Ads
  • Meta/Facebook/Instagram Campaigns
  • Retargeting & Lookalike Audiences
  • Monthly reporting with real ROI
⚡

Website CRO

Traffic means nothing if your website doesn't convert. We rebuild and optimize your pages so every visitor has a clear reason to book — using the same frameworks we used to scale Sunblockers.

  • Conversion-first landing pages
  • Mobile-optimized design
  • Lead form & CTA optimization
  • A/B testing & data-driven improvement
📱

Social Media

Consistent, professional social presence that builds trust with local homeowners and keeps you top of mind when they're ready to buy. Done-for-you — no more blank page stress.

  • 3–5 posts per week across platforms
  • Before/after project content
  • Reputation & review management
  • Local audience growth strategy
The Founders

Built By People Who've
Actually Done It

Two guys. One who built a trades business from scratch and exited. One who's driven 8 figures in digital revenue. Together, that combination doesn't exist anywhere else in this industry.

Co-Founder · Trades Expert
Mike Tan

He didn't study the trades — he lived them. Starting with nothing, he built Sunblockers from $0 to $700,000 in annual revenue in a single year, personally running every aspect of the business: the marketing, the sales calls, the crews, the customer relationships. He knows what it's like to be a blue collar owner because he was one — the early mornings, the inconsistent leads, the feast-and-famine cash flow, the grind of building something real with your hands. After successfully exiting Sunblockers, he now channels that hard-won experience into helping other blue collar business owners skip the painful lessons and go straight to scale.

Over the past decade, Chris has built and scaled multiple digital businesses to 8 figures in combined revenue — managing millions in paid ad spend across Google, Meta, and beyond. He knows how to turn ad dollars into revenue, how to build conversion systems that actually work, and how to scale a business fast using digital channels. What sets him apart isn't just the numbers — it's the breadth. Ecommerce, lead gen, info products, direct response — he's driven growth across industries. Now he's bringing that entire playbook exclusively to blue collar businesses, a world that's been underserved by real digital expertise for far too long.

Why TradesIgnite

The Unfair Advantage
Your Competitors Don't Have

1
Industry Insider Knowledge
We've built a trades business from zero. We know how jobs get sold, how seasons affect demand, and what makes a homeowner pull the trigger. That context shapes everything we do.
2
Proven Digital Track Record
Our digital team has managed millions in ad spend across multiple industries. We bring that expertise into the trades space — a combination your current agency almost certainly doesn't have.
3
We're Accountable to Revenue
Not impressions. Not reach. Not "brand awareness." We track what matters to you — qualified leads, booked appointments, and revenue growth. That's what we optimize for.
4
We Only Work with Blue Collar Businesses
No SaaS. No ecommerce. No restaurants. We go deep on one niche so we can deliver results that generalist agencies simply can't match.
