Ads for Kiwi tradies

More jobs.
Not more clicks.

We run your Facebook, Instagram and Google ads, text every lead back within a minute, and judge ourselves on one thing: work in your diary.

  • No lock-in contracts
  • No jargon
  • You own your ad account

Sound familiar?

Sick of paying for likes?

Clicks don’t pay the bills

Plenty of agencies will show you a report full of reach, impressions and likes. None of that is a job. We only count what ends up as work.

Leads go cold fast

Most people go with the first tradie who gets back to them. You’re up a ladder, not on your phone, so our text-back bot answers for you in under a minute.

Tyre-kickers waste your time

We ask the right questions up front: job type, location, timing, budget. You don’t end up driving across town for a price-shopper.

How it works

Four steps. No faffing about.

You do what you’re good at. We handle the ads, the follow-up and the fiddly bits.

  1. 1

    Have a yarn

    A 20-minute chat about the jobs you want more of (and the ones you don’t), where you work and how busy you want to be.

  2. 2

    Build the ads together

    Photos of your real work and taglines in your voice. We draft them, you tweak them, nothing goes live without your OK.

  3. 3

    Leads land, we text back

    Every enquiry gets a text within a minute, using a script you’ve signed off. You get the details straight away, ready to quote.

  4. 4

    More of what works

    Tell us which leads turned into jobs. We feed that back to Facebook and Google so the ads find more people like them.

What you get

The right ad for the right job

A blocked drain and a new deck don’t get sold the same way. We test different ad styles and keep the ones that bring in work.

Fast

Quick-quote forms

Name, number, suburb. Done in 10 seconds on their phone, without leaving Facebook.

Engaging

Survey ads

“What kind of roof have you got?” A few taps to answer, and every answer tells you more about the job.

Quality

Detailed quote forms

More questions up front means fewer leads, but better ones. Good for bigger jobs.

Direct

Message ads

Straight into Messenger or a text chat. Good for urgent work like leaks and callouts.

High intent

Google search ads

Show up when someone types “electrician near me” and actually needs one today.

Follow-up

Retargeting

Stay in front of people who checked you out but didn’t get in touch yet.

Ad content made with you

We work through images and taglines together, using your real jobs, your ute and your team. Stock photos of models in hard hats fool nobody.

Your own dashboard

See every lead, what it cost and which ones turned into jobs, laid out in plain English. A phone app is on the way.

Free with every plan

A text-back bot that never knocks off

When a lead comes in at 9pm on a Sunday, they get a friendly text straight away, not a call back three days later. It follows a script you’ve agreed to, grabs the key details and hands over to you when they’re ready to book.

  • Script templates for your trade, tweaked to sound like you
  • Only texts people who asked to be contacted
  • Easy opt-out on every message, all above board
  • You can jump into the conversation any time

The free week

Give us a week. We’ll show you the leads.

We set up your ads and text-back bot for free and run them for 7 days. You see every lead that comes through. If it’s not for you, no worries, you walk away and keep the leads.

Start my free week

Our work is free

Setup, ad content, the text bot, the lot. No card needed for us.

You cover the ad spend

That’s paid straight to Facebook on your card, so every dollar goes into ads. We suggest about $150 for the week.

Straight up

A week is enough to see real leads come in. The ads do get sharper over the first month as they learn what works for you.

FAQ

Fair questions

Do I have to sign a contract?+

Nope. No lock-in. If we’re not bringing you work, you shouldn’t have to keep paying us.

Who owns the ad account?+

You do. The ads run on your Facebook page and ad account, and you pay Facebook and Google directly. If you ever leave, everything stays with you, ads and leads included.

How much should I spend on ads?+

It depends on your trade and area, but plenty of tradies start around $10–$30 a day. We’ll give you a straight answer in the first chat and won’t tell you to spend more than makes sense.

Can you guarantee a number of jobs?+

Nobody honest can promise an exact number. What we promise is that we measure ourselves on jobs, not clicks, and we’ll show you exactly where every dollar went.

Won’t the text bot annoy people?+

It only texts people who’ve just asked for a quote and agreed to be contacted. The messages are short and friendly, and every one has an easy opt-out. Most people are stoked to hear back so fast.

I’m flat out already. Is this for me?+

Maybe not right now! But if you want to be choosier about the jobs you take, or fill the quiet months, the ads can target the work you actually want.

Ready to get booked, mate?

Two minutes to sign up. We’ll be in touch within one working day to have a yarn.
