Analytics for Handyman
Analytics for Handyman Businesses in Australia
A handyman phone rings all week with tiny requests, a few good task lists and the odd property manager. Analytics sorts them. You see which sources bring bundles worth a visit, which bring one-hour jobs below your minimum, and what a booked job really costs you.
For handyman owners who want booked visits, task lists and property manager work traced to the source, with small wrong-fit requests counted and reduced.
Why handyman numbers need sorting
Context from how your customers search, compare and book.
A handyman lead can mean a loose handle or a list of twelve repairs for a Saturday. Both arrive as one call, yet one is worth a half-day booking and the other may not cover the drive. Counting every contact as a lead rewards the sources that bring the least useful work.
Minimum job rules shape the economics. If you work only above a certain ticket, a request for a single small task is a cost, not a lead. Analytics should record the size of each request, so you can see how many fall below the line and where they come from.
Repeat work is the hidden engine. A landlord with several units, a retired couple with a yearly list and a property manager with weekly work orders are worth far more than a one-off caller. Tracking must follow a customer across visits and credit the first source.
Plenty of work never touches marketing. A tenant referred by a manager, a text from a past customer or a recommendation from next door skips the website. We show that share as unattributed, so nobody treats the report as the full story of where jobs come from.

How we deliver Analytics
A clear, repeatable process built around how handyman customers search and decide.
1
Define a booked job
With you we write down what counts: task list received, visit booked, visit done above minimum, work order received and repeat booking within a set period. A booked job has a clear definition, so reports mean the same thing each month.
2
Tag each way in
Tracking numbers go on ads, the Business Profile and service pages, while forms ask for the task list, the number of items and the preferred day. Work order links for managers carry their own tag, so portfolio clients show up separately from households.
3
Grade by size and fit
Each request is marked as booked, quoted, below minimum, outside area or work you refer to a registered trade. Over a few weeks this shows how much marketing attracts small tasks and which pages attract full lists.
4
Follow repeat customers
We match phone numbers and addresses across visits, so a customer who books again in three months is credited to the first source. You see the lifetime value of each source instead of only the first invoice.
5
Review and adjust
Each month we go through the report with you, noting which sources bring bundles, which bring tasks below minimum and which bring managers. We agree a short list of changes to pages, keywords and call scripts before anything moves.

Technical approach
The mechanics behind Analytics for handyman, explained plainly.
Counting items on a list
A form that asks for each task lets us count how many items a request holds. The count is a strong sign of job value, and it shows which pages and keywords bring a full list and which bring a single fix.
Manager work orders
Property managers often send orders through a portal or email. We give them a tagged link and record each order as an event, so their steady volume appears next to household requests with its own cost and value.
Handling refer-out work
Some requests belong with a registered electrician or plumber. We mark them as referred, so you can see how many arrive and whether a page should state plainly what you do not handle, saving time on both sides.
What Handyman analytics setup costs
Handyman analytics setup starts at $500 USD one-time. Ongoing monthly reporting and reviews are scoped separately.
What's included
Tracking plan
IncludedA short plan naming the calls, forms and bookings that count as a real lead or sale for your business.
Tags, events and call numbers
IncludedTracking set up and tested so each lead is tied to the search or ad behind it.
Report and handover
IncludedA simple report layout and a walkthrough so your team can read it without help.
Monthly reviews, extra dashboards and data clean-up are scoped separately. Talk to us for a fit.
What to expect from tracking
Early reports only confirm that the setup works. The useful picture arrives once repeat customers begin to show up.
Days 1 to 14
Numbers, forms and the job definition are set up and tested by hand. You agree how to grade requests, and we repair anything that records twice or not at all.
Weeks 3 to 8
Task counts and below-minimum requests appear for the first time. Many owners find that one keyword brings plenty of tiny jobs, while a quieter page brings the lists that fill days.
Months 3 to 6 and beyond
Over several months repeat bookings and manager orders add up, and cost per booked job can be compared by source. Referrals stay untraceable, and no volume is promised, but spend can follow the better sources.

✓Frequently Asked Questions
What does handyman call tracking show? expand_more
It shows which ad, listing or page brought each request, how big the task list was and whether it became a booked visit. For a handyman business, size matters as much as the count.
Can you show how many requests fall below our minimum? expand_more
Yes. Requests are graded by size and fit, so the below-minimum share is visible by source. That tells you which keywords and pages attract small tasks you would rather decline.
How do you track property manager work for a handyman? expand_more
Managers get a tagged link or number, and each work order is recorded as an event. Their volume and value appear separately from household requests.
What if customers call again later from the same number? expand_more
We match repeat callers by phone and address and credit later bookings to the first source. A repeat handyman customer can be worth many times a single visit.
Will you see our handyman invoices? expand_more
Only what is needed to match jobs to sources, and only through staff you name. Wider reports show counts and averages. Pricing stays your decision.
Do you listen to our calls? expand_more
Only where recording is switched on, with the notice local rules require, and only to learn why calls fail. Recordings stay with named staff for as long as you decide.
Will better numbers bring more handyman bookings? expand_more
Not by themselves. They show where good bookings come from so spend can move. We promise no particular number of jobs.
