How is a lead qualified?

When a homeowner submits a quote request, our SMS bot Sam asks for the job, timeline, suburb, and budget. Once the homeowner confirms by replying YES, we count it as verified and route it to you.

How much does it cost to list as a tradie?

Two options. Exclusive Territory: $250 per month with first month free. Pay-Per-Lead: from $30 per qualified, SMS-verified lead. No long-term contracts on either tier.

Tradie leads, structurally different from the HiPages model.

If you've been buying tradie leads through HiPages, OneFlare, or ServiceSeeking, you know the drill: $200/month subscription, the same lead emailed to four other tradies, race to call first, margins die. WTD works two ways — both flip the HiPages model on its head.

The HiPages model

✗$200/month subscription regardless of leads
✗Same lead sent to 4–6 tradies
✗Race-to-call kills margin
✗No way to verify lead intent

The WTD model

✓Two tiers — pay-per-lead or exclusive territory
✓Max 2 tradies per lead (zero on exclusive)
✓SMS-verified jobs only — no ghosts
✓First month free on exclusive · cancel anytime

★ Most popular tier

Exclusive Territory

$250/month

🎉 First month free · cancel anytime · no contracts

Lock your trade in your city. Every qualifying lead in that territory is yours.

$250/month covers everything. No per-lead fees. No setup fees. No contracts. No HiPages-style "subscription plus pay-per-result" double-dip. The territory is yours — every lead included, unlimited, full stop.

Two compounding benefits on top

✓ Featured on the relevant cost guide. Your business gets a tap-to-call button on a Google-ranked consumer page — most inquiries arrive as direct phone calls, not form fills.
✓ SEO equity for your own website. A backlink from a page already ranking on Google's first page for high-intent trade-and-city queries. Domain authority compounding while you sleep.

Pay-Per-Lead (from $15/lead, no subscription) sends you SMS-verified jobs as they come in. You only pay when a real homeowner with a real job hits send. Maximum two tradies see each one — vs HiPages' four-to-six.

If you're searching for an alternative to HiPages that doesn't punish you for asking "is this lead even real?", that's the design call. Tradie leads that actually convert beat tradie leads in volume — every time.

Switch any time.

Some tradies want every lead in their area, locked in. Others want to pick and choose. We support both.

Common questions

Everything you'd want to ask.

What's the difference between pay-per-lead and exclusive?

Pay-per-lead means you see verified leads as they come in and choose which to accept — from $30 each. Multiple tradies in your area receive the same lead. Exclusive territory means YOU are the only tradie we route from your trade and city — every verified lead comes to you, plus you're listed on the cost guide page that ranks on Google for your trade in that area.

How is the lead qualified?

When a homeowner submits a quote request, our SMS bot Sam asks a few questions: what's the job, when do you need it done, what's your suburb, what's your budget. Once the homeowner confirms by replying YES, we count it as verified and route it to you. Most tyre-kickers drop off in the qualification step.

What happens during my free month on exclusive?

Same as a paying month — you get every verified lead in your trade and city, listed on the cost guide page, full access. After 30 days we ask if you want to continue. If yes, $250/month rolling. If no, cancel before day 31 and you'll never be charged.

What if my territory has low lead volume?

We're transparent about volume per territory before you sign up. We'll show you how many leads that page has generated in the last 30 and 90 days, plus our Google ranking position. If volume is too low to justify $250/month, we'll tell you to start with pay-per-lead instead.

Can I switch from pay-per-lead to exclusive later?

Yes — many tradies do exactly this. Start with pay-per-lead to test the leads, then upgrade to exclusive once you've proven the volume works for your business. Just let us know.

Can I have exclusive in multiple trades or cities?

Yes. Each combination is a separate territory at $250/month. Some tradies cover one specialty in two cities, others cover three trades in one city. You only pay for the territories you hold.

What trades and areas do you cover?

36 trades across 14 Australian cities and growing — all major capitals plus Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Geelong, Hobart, Townsville, Cairns, Launceston, Central Coast. Specialty trades (electrician, plumber, kitchen reno, bathroom reno, fencing) tend to have the most active territories.
