The paint suppliers we work with
At Localsearch, we market paint stores to a trade base that reorders constantly and a retail base that needs help choosing. We put your brands, tinting service and trade terms where each buyer searches, and make sure the store's hours, location and stocked ranges are the first thing anyone sees.
What we hear most
- 1Hardware chains capture the retail colour searches with huge content libraries.
- 2Trade painters don't realise you carry their preferred brand and product line.
- 3The store's tinting and colour-matching service is a differentiator nobody mentions online.

Questions paint suppliers ask
Can an independent paint store outrank the chains?
For local and trade searches, yes. Chains rank nationally for colour inspiration, but they're weak on 'brand plus suburb' and trade service terms, which is exactly where your customers are.
What content actually helps?
Practical guides tied to what you sell: surface preparation, coverage rates, exterior products for your climate. It ranks, it's useful, and it gives staff something to point customers to.
How do we grow the trade side?
Make the trade offer visible: account terms, delivery, early opening and product availability. Most paint store websites bury this, which is why trade growth stays word-of-mouth only.
