Two ways to work with us

Pick your model.
Switch any time.

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

Wollongong’s smaller market means exclusive territory effectively locks the Illawarra to one operator — Sydney-based aggregator-listed competitors cherry-pick south-coast leads but rarely turn up for inspection, leaving local-priority operators with conversion advantages.

How it works

From Wollongong homeowner search
to your phone in minutes.

Wollongong painting leads concentrate along the coastal strip from CBD through Thirroul, plus inland Dapto and Albion Park — tight geography keeps a local specialist’s travel cost low while servicing the full Illawarra LGA.

Customer searches Google

Wollongong homeowner Googles "painter cost Wollongong" and lands on our Wollongong painting cost guide page.

Sam qualifies them

Our SMS bot Sam verifies the Wollongong job — scope, suburb, timeline, budget. Real Wollongong homeowner, real painting job.

Lead arrives

Verified painting job from a Wollongong homeowner lands in your texts. Exclusive tradies get it all. Pay-per-lead see & accept.

Built for Australian tradies

What Wollongong painters value about exclusive territory.

Every lead pre-screened

Every Wollongong lead is SMS-checked for terrain (coastal salt-zone, escarpment, inland), property type, and scope — so cliff-side ocean-view premium exteriors aren’t conflated with Dapto standard interior quotes.

Australian-owned, independent data

Cross-referenced against 90+ Australian pricing sources. Not a US lead aggregator wearing AU branding.

No long-term lock-in

Pay-per-lead has zero commitment. Exclusive is month-to-month with the first one free. Walk anytime.

Stripe-secured payments

Bank-grade security, automated invoicing, 1-tap accept. No chasing payment, no chargebacks.

Run the numbers

Why $250/month exclusive beats per-lead aggregators
for Wollongong painters.

Most aggregators (HiPages, ServiceSeeking, Oneflare) charge a monthly fee PLUS per-lead. Each lead goes to 4-5 tradies racing to call first. Here's the actual math for a Wollongong painter after the same 5 verified leads.

Wollongong Painting Lead Cost Comparison: WTD Exclusive vs Aggregators Visual comparison showing $250 per month exclusive territory pricing for Wollongong painting leads versus $600 plus per month effective cost from per-lead aggregators like HiPages and ServiceSeeking for similar lead volume. WTD EXCLUSIVE Painting · Wollongong $250 /month FIRST MONTH FREE Sole painter — every lead, just for you SMS-verified scope, suburb, budget No bidding war — they call you Walk anytime — no contract vs PER-LEAD AGGREGATORS HiPages, ServiceSeeking, Oneflare $600+ effective /month* $200/mo subscription + $80 per shared lead Each lead shared 4-5× — race to call Bidding war on price + speed Wasted time on lost leads you paid for Annual contracts, lock-in periods * Effective cost: $200 base + 5 shared leads × $80, typical of major Australian aggregators.

Lead aggregators in Australia typically charge a base subscription ($150-$300/month) plus $50-$100 per "connection" or shared lead. Every lead gets sent to 4-5 tradies simultaneously, so you're racing to call first — and bidding against unknown competitors after that. Many leads close with someone other than you, despite the fact you paid for them.

Wollongong painting jobs run $2,000–$15,000. ONE booked job covers the WTD territory fee 100× over. Three or four booked painting jobs and you've added $6,000–$45,000+ in revenue from a $250/month investment — with the first month free.

That's why we offer first month FREE on exclusive territory. Card details captured securely via Stripe at sign-up — no charge for 30 days. Cancel anytime in the first month and never get billed. After 30 days, $250/month, billed automatically. Walk anytime after with no penalty.

Common questions

Everything you'd want to ask.

Are Wollongong cliff-top ocean-view exterior repaints more profitable?
Yes — ocean-view premium exteriors in Thirroul, Austinmer, and northern Bulli command 30–45% premium pricing over equivalent inland exteriors, partially due to access constraints (EWP or scaffold required) and partially due to property-value-justified premium coating spec.
How many painting leads come from Wollongong each month?
Active Wollongong painting territories typically receive 3–15 verified leads per month — varying with season (winter slower, spring/summer peak). We share live volume data from your specific area before you commit, so you know what to expect.
Why are Wollongong painting leads worth more than other trades?
Wollongong painting jobs run $2,000–$15,000+, much higher than the average trade lead. Each lead is SMS-verified for scope, suburb, timeline, and budget — so the homeowners you receive are real Wollongong property-owners with active painting projects, ready to engage.
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 $25 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.
