Founder, strategy and audits
Writes every audit and takes every first call. On your account from day one, running growth for SMEs since 2010 in Australia.
Built for Australian owner-led businesses competing in AU search. Most painting customers shop for weeks, study photos and ask one question: can I trust this crew in my home? We help you be the painter homeowners pick for careful prep and clean lines, not the lowest quote on a marketplace.
We build the ads, website and call tracking that fill your schedule with interior, exterior and commercial repaint jobs. No shared leads that collect five competing estimates in Australia.
Trusted by painting businesses to turn local demand into booked work Serving Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Gold Coast across NSW, VIC, QLD, WA and SA.
Our painting marketing is built for contractors who win on prep, clean lines and reliable timelines, not discount wars on single-room touch-ups in Australia. Painting demand shows up on Google.com.au as "house painters near me reviews" and "exterior house painting cost". We build marketing around suburb and state pages across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and regional Australia, suburb plus trade. Painting buyers book through an Australian number and a short form. Proof that converts here is Google reviews, ABN, and licence details on the page. Slow replies lose the job to Hipages, Oneflare, and Google Business Profile. Reporting is in A$ (AUD); GST at 10% belongs in the unit economics.
