First Page is a Trades focused agency selling Lead Gen, SEO and Web Dev to Plumbers, Electricians, Concreters and Builders. They had a clear service offer and relevant proof, but needed a more consistent way to create qualified sales conversations. Surf Digital built and ran a cold email campaign around that market, using specific account selection, founder-led copy and low-friction meeting asks. Generated 48 interested leads and 25 booked meetings with trades and home improvement businesses across Australia. Targeting plumbers, electricians, concreters and builders, 5 deals were closed within the campaign window.

Strategy
This campaign ran on outbound only - no paid ads, no inbound funnels and no reliance on referrals. We put First Page's Lead Gen, SEO and Web Dev offer directly in front of Plumbers, Electricians, Concreters and Builders using cold email and LinkedIn outreach. Every sequence ran over a controlled follow-up window with clean exit points to avoid over-contacting the same prospect.
TAM Discovery
We built the target account list around Plumbers, Electricians, Concreters and Builders in the Trades market. Accounts were qualified by category fit, commercial intent, company size signals and whether the agency service would solve an obvious growth problem. The final list prioritised prospects most likely to understand Lead Gen, SEO and Web Dev and have budget to move.
Copywriting
Every cold email was written in First Page's founder voice. We led each send with a specific observation about the prospect's business, then connected that observation to the agency's most relevant service proof. The ask stayed low-friction: a short call to compare what was working against where revenue, leads or enquiries were leaking.
The Email
Hi Mark,
Northside is already ranking for local emergency work, but the quote pages look like they could convert more of that traffic.
We have helped trade businesses turn local search and lead gen campaigns into booked jobs by tightening the website and follow-up path.
Worth a quick 20 mins to compare what is working against where leads are leaking?
Hi Alex, yes this is timely. We are looking at ways to get more quote requests from the site. Thursday works.
