They're looking for you in the dark.

Someone recommended you this week. They typed your name into their phone. What did they find?

Opens the real Google results for your name and your area. Your suburb is filled in for you from your rough location. Most tradies find nothing, or someone else's ad on their own name.

The leak

You never find out it happened.

A neighbour says "get Dave, he did our deck." The homeowner searches Dave. Nothing comes up, so they ring the deck company with the website. No missed call, no email, no signal of any kind. It's the most expensive thing in your business, and it's invisible.

What you get

Four things, in the order we'd stand behind them.

The first three hold in a quiet month. Only the fourth depends on the ads doing their job, and we measure it honestly.

  • Holds in a quiet month

    You exist when someone looks you up

    A Google card and a site in your name, both yours to keep. Checked every week.

  • Holds in a quiet month

    A stranger can tell you're real in ten seconds

    Licence, insurance, years, real photos of real jobs, real reviews. Nothing invented, ever.

  • Holds in a quiet month

    Anyone who wants you reaches you in one tap

    Tap to call from anywhere on the page, a thirty-second quote form, and a text on your phone the moment someone enquires.

  • The one that varies

    Reach beyond the people who already know you

    Google Ads on the job you want more of, in the suburbs you work. Every dollar's destination disclosed, and a report that counts who tapped to call and who asked for a quote. Not clicks.

Prices

Prepaid. Finite. It ends.

No subscription, and nothing renews itself. Most of the money goes to Google as your advertising. Our fee sits beside it, so you always know which is which.

Nothing runs on money you haven't paid, and nothing is ever owed. Pay the year up front, or pay each period before it starts. Same total either way. Miss a period and your ads pause; your site and email keep working.

Year one adds the build, once: your website $2,500 and a Google Workspace email in your name $250. From year two, just the pack. All prices in AUD. GST is 10% and is shown on every invoice. Unspent advertising money carries forward to your next period. The fee is earned when the work is done. The full price sheet.

Who it's for

We'll say no when we should.

Yes

"Get my name out there, fast and cheap, and show me it worked." That's the whole product. Pick a pack.

No

"Guarantee me more customers." Nobody honest can sell you that. We get your name in front of people and make you effortless to reach. We don't answer your phone or win your quotes.

Probably not

Small, quick jobs. If your typical job is a few hundred dollars, an ad burst can't pay for itself. We'll say so and point you somewhere better.
