Fifteen minutes. No pitch. If the economics don't work, we'll tell you.
Metric agreed up front
Out of your ServiceM8
Offer and pricing included
Delivery caps published
The metric is agreed before we start.
We write down what counts as a booked job in your business, with you, before any money is spent.
Reconciled to your ServiceM8 or Simpro.
The number comes out of your invoicing system. Not out of our ad account.
The offer and the pricing are in scope.
We work what you sell and what you charge for it before we touch targeting.
Delivery caps are published.
You see the ceiling before you sign. “Unlimited” is how agencies quietly stop caring.
The problem
You're not short on activity. You're short on a number.
Slammed one month, dead the next.
Four crews booked in March, two of them idle in April. Same business, same effort, and no way to plan around either one.
Your ad platform reports leads. Your invoicing reports money.
Nobody joins the two up. So every spend decision gets made on the half of the picture that doesn't pay wages.
Quotes go out late, priced on gut.
The job you lost last week probably wasn't lost on marketing. It was lost somewhere between the site visit and the quote.
Diagnosis
It's not the ads. It's the offer.
You've run ads before. Maybe they even brought enquiries in. They didn't turn into booked jobs at a price worth having — and that isn't a targeting problem.
It's what you sell, what you charge for it, and what happens between the quote and the yes.
That's where we start. Before a dollar of media gets discussed.
The system
One system. Four stages. One named output each.
01Diagnose
We go through the offer, pricing and quote-to-job path, and agree what counts as a booked job.
The metric definition sheet, signed before work starts.
02Build
Conversion-first pages, the offer rewritten, follow-up and tracking wired to your job software.
The pages, offer and tracking, built and running.
03Run
Google and Meta managed against the number we agreed, with follow-up discipline.
Media managed, follow-up running, someone's hands on it weekly.
04Report
Cost per booked job and margin, reconciled to ServiceM8 or Simpro by the seventh business day.
The monthly number, in plain English, in a form you can forward.
No stage promises you a date. Every stage produces something you can hold.
The number
How the number gets agreed
Here's the part that usually gets skipped.
Before any money is spent, we write the definition down: what counts as a booked job in your business, which jobs count and which don't, where the data comes from, and who signs the number off each month.
Then it gets reconciled to your ServiceM8 or Simpro. Your system. Not ours.
Straight answer: we're not going to show you someone else's numbers to sell you yours.
What we'll put in front of you on the call is the definition sheet and the reconciliation, and you can judge it from there.

The definition sheet. Agreed before work starts, so the metric can't move afterwards.
Who's actually running it
You'll know which one of us owns the strategy, which one runs the media, and which one sends you the number.
Alternatives
You're not choosing between agencies.
Most of these made sense at the time. Here's what each one does well, and the one thing it can't do.
It's the best-quality work you get, and it's a big part of why the business got this far. It just isn't a pipeline. It's luck with a good reputation attached — and it thins out in the exact season you need it most.
Cheap, easy to ask, no awkward contract, and he genuinely wants you to win. He isn't the cheap option though. He's the slow one — a year of maybe before you make the real decision, and nobody accountable when the number misses.
Free, immediate, and you stay in control of every dollar. You can boost a post tonight. You still won't know what a booked job cost you in the morning.
Work today, nothing to build, no commitment. The leads are rented and you're quoting against three other blokes on price. Worth asking what you own at the end of the year.
Under $3k a month and somebody is doing something. This is usually where “burned before” comes from. You bought tasks. There was never a system, and there was never a number.
They know your trade, they've done it before, and they'll get the phone ringing. They report leads and rankings. Neither of those is the thing that landed in your bank account.
Genuinely good operators, and the real shortlist once your budget is actually $5k. Same price. Different number reported.
Costs nothing today, and it feels like the safe call in a quiet month. The quiet cost of another dead month is the one nobody sends you an invoice for.
Scope and price
What's included, what it costs, and who shouldn't buy it.
Included
The diagnostic: offer, pricing and quote-to-job path
Conversion-first pages, written and built
Google and Meta, managed
Follow-up and quoting discipline
Booked-job reporting reconciled to ServiceM8 or Simpro
Delivery caps, published up front
Not included
Your media spend. That goes to Google and Meta, not to us.
A guarantee. Ours isn't defined, so we're not going to sell you one.
Tradify reconciliation. ServiceM8 and Simpro only.
$5,000/month
Plus $3,000–$3,500 a month of media, paid straight to the platforms.
That's market rate for this work in Melbourne. We'd rather be judged on the number we report.
The data — ad accounts, tracking, every lead record.
Yours.
The reporting — definition sheet and monthly numbers.
Yours.
The documented system — how it runs, written down.
Yours.
Everyone offers month-to-month now. That's table stakes, and a right to leave is worthless if you leave empty-handed. The real question is what you're holding the day it ends.
It's written into the agreement, not promised on a call.
Commitments
Four things we commit to
The metric is defined and signed before any work starts.
The number comes out of your ServiceM8 or Simpro, not our ad account.
You get it by the seventh business day, every month, in plain English.
Delivery caps are published, so you can see the ceiling before you sign.
None of that is a results guarantee. It's the reporting and the accountability, in writing. Anyone putting a result in writing for you is guessing.
For the decision-makers
Send the numbers to whoever else has a say
Nobody signs a $5k a month decision on their own at this level, and nobody should.
So there's a kitchen-table version: a two-minute video in plain English, and one page of the numbers. Nothing to read twice, no jargon, and you're not the one who has to explain it.
Questions
Quick answers
Most owners we talk to have been. The difference is where the number comes from: we agree in writing what counts as a booked job before any work starts, and report it out of your invoicing system, not ours. And the assets and the documented system are yours regardless of how long you stay.
You don't manage us, we manage the system. There's real time from you at the start so we understand the business properly — after that it runs, and you review one number a month.
What are you spending right now on hipages, a freelancer, or boosted posts? For most owners this is a reallocation of money already going out the door, not a new cost on top of it. If it isn't, we'll say so on the call.
We don't promise a timeframe, and I'd be careful with anyone who does. What you'll see early is the metric definition, signed before we start, and the first reporting cycle.
No. And be careful with anyone who does. What we'll commit to is a success number agreed before we start, and honest reporting against it every month.
Straight answer: we're not going to show you someone else's numbers to sell you yours. What we'll put in front of you on the call is the definition sheet and the reconciliation, and you can judge it from there.
