What SA customers do online when they need a handyman business
Figures from Google Trends on how South Africans search for handymen and home repair jobs, which searches are growing, and when they peak.
Swipe for more charts.
People search for the job, not “handyman services”
In 2025, South Africans searched “waterproofing” (68) far more than “handyman” (30), and “handyman services”, “home repairs” and “handyman near me” were all under 1. These are Google’s yearly averages for one comparison. Name each job you do on your page, such as tiling, waterproofing, painting and plumbing, and use “handyman” with your town.
Waterproofing searches keep growing
Google searches for “waterproofing” in South Africa rose 22% from 2019 to 2025, from a yearly average of 67.3 to 82.4 (our arithmetic). Over the same years “liquid rubber waterproofing price” rose 650% and “waterproofing tape for roof” was a Breakout search. If you waterproof, say which roofs and areas you do and how you price it.
More people look for a handyman near them
From 2019 to 2025, “handyman near me” rose 1,500% and “waterproofing near me” rose 2,100% in South Africa, and “waterproofing contractors near me” was a Breakout search. Put the towns and suburbs you work in on your page, so people nearby find you.
