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 $25 per qualified, SMS-screened lead. No long-term contracts on either tier.

Exclusive Melbourne Plasterer Territory

$250/month

🎉 First month free · cancel anytime · no contracts

Become Melbourne's exclusive Plasterer. Every qualifying lead in this 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 Melbourne plastering cost guide. Your business gets a tap-to-call button on /plastering-cost-melbourne/ — a Google-ranked consumer page where most inquiries arrive as direct phone calls, not form fills.
✓ A link back to your own website. A backlink from our "plastering melbourne" cost-guide page. Where any page ranks on Google can change over time, so we don't guarantee a first-page ranking or any particular SEO result.

How it works

From Melbourne homeowner search
to your phone in minutes.

Melbourne plastering leads cluster across inner-suburb heritage cornice and ceiling rose restoration, lath-and-plaster repair work, renovation wall plaster across the middle ring, and outer-corridor estate new-build first-fix.

Customer searches Google

Melbourne homeowner Googles "plastering cost Melbourne" and lands on our Melbourne plastering cost guide page.

Built for Australian tradies

Why Melbourne plasterers run with us.

Every lead pre-screened

Every Melbourne lead is SMS-checked for property type (heritage period, modern, renovation), work type (cornice restoration, lath-and-plaster, wall plaster, ceiling reskin), and scope — so heritage character work isn’t conflated with greenfield estate first-fix.

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 Melbourne plasterers.

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 Melbourne plastering after the same 5 verified leads.

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.

Melbourne plastering jobs run $200–$3,500. A single booked job would typically more than cover a month's $250 territory fee — but how many enquiries turn into booked work depends on you and on demand in your area, so we can't promise a set number of jobs or any income. Your first month is free, so you can see what comes through before you pay anything.

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 Melbourne heritage cornice and ceiling rose restoration jobs worth specialist focus?

Highly — period-correct cornice and ceiling rose restoration in Carlton, Fitzroy, Richmond, Hawthorn, and Toorak commands 100–180% premium pricing over standard plaster work due to specialist mould-running, fibrous plaster sourcing, and craft restoration. Lath-and-plaster repair (still used in pre-1940s stock) requires specific knowledge of timber-lath substrate and lime-based plaster compositions that modern plasterers don’t typically hold.

How many plastering leads come from Melbourne each month?

Active Melbourne plastering territories typically receive 3–15 verified leads per month — varying with season. We share live volume data from your specific area before you commit, so you know what to expect.

Why are Melbourne plastering leads worth more than other trades?

Melbourne plastering jobs run $200–$3,500+, much higher than the average trade lead. Each lead is SMS-screened for scope, suburb, timeline, and budget — so the homeowners you receive are real Melbourne property-owners with active plastering 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 (plastering, plumber, kitchen reno, bathroom reno, fencing) tend to have the most active territories.
