Want steady jobs, fast?
Paid ads are the fastest way to fill a gap in the calendar. Enquiries start in days, not months. Turn it up when it's quiet and down when you're flat out. Every enquiry gets a text back in under 60 seconds, so your spend turns into jobs.
Most tradies have. A boosted Facebook post. A Google campaign set up one Sunday night. Maybe a few months with an agency.
The budget disappeared. A few tyre-kickers rang. Nobody could tell you which ad brought which job. That doesn't mean ads don't work for your trade. It means the ads sent people somewhere that leaked.

The gap between the tradie who profits from ads and the one who doesn't isn't the ad. It's what happens straight after the click.
Getting the click is the easy part. Then three things have to happen fast.
The page earns the enquiry. Every ad gets its own page. One service, one suburb, one clear next step.
The enquiry gets answered first. A text goes back in under 60 seconds, then the follow-ups chase it.
You know which ad paid for itself. Every call and form is traced to the ad that brought it. Not clicks. Jobs.
That's why we only run ads for Jobs Engine customers. With the system underneath, ads pay off. Without it, they leak.

Ads built for your trade and suburbs. Google ads for people searching for your trade or your business name. Facebook and Instagram ads for people planning a job. Reminder ads for people who've already visited your site.
A page for every ad that wins the enquiry. One service, one suburb, wired to your inbox and the text back in under 60 seconds.
Every ad enquiry chased until it books. The same follow-ups your other enquiries get. Quotes chased, quiet ones nudged. Nothing you paid for goes cold.
Your budget kept away from time-wasters. We block searches like "free" and "DIY", and only show ads in the suburbs and hours you want.
Ads improved every week, not every quarter. More budget to what's working, less to what isn't. Fresh photos and angles on Facebook and Instagram every month.
A monthly report that shows jobs, not jargon. Every call and form traced to the ad that brought it. What you spent, what each enquiry cost, and what we're changing next.
Sometimes ads are the right next move. Sometimes something else needs fixing first.
If you're in the second group, we'll tell you on the demo. It costs us a sale. It saves you a few thousand dollars.
How it works
It depends on your trade, your area and how many competitors are bidding on the same searches. We'll give you a straight number on the demo, and we'll tell you if it's not worth starting yet.
It's flat up to $6,000 of spend a channel. Spend $3,000 a month on Google and you pay $990. Spend $8,000 and you're $2,000 over the line, so 10% of that is $200 and you pay $1,190. Our fee only climbs when your spend does, and your spend only climbs when the leads are worth it.
Google can bring enquiries in the first couple of weeks, once the campaign has learned what works in your area. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) builds more slowly, because it's reaching people who are planning, not searching. We won't quote what each enquiry costs until we've run your first month.
No. Ads send clicks. The Jobs Engine turns them into booked jobs. Running one without the other is how tradies end up saying "ads don't work".
No. Month to month. The setup fee covers the build and doesn't come back if you stop after a month, so don't start unless you'll give it three.
You do. They're set up in your name, with your card. If you leave, the accounts, the data and the history stay with you.
