Claim My Free Audit →Air-con is one of the hardest trades to get into: QBCC mechanical licence, electrical contractor licence, ARCtick refrigerant handling. Three licences before you touch a wrench. Yet every quote you chase still goes up against hipages' 3-way sharing, and the agencies charging $6,000/month won't even return a $10k-revenue installer's call.
So we built the agency we wished existed: honest pricing published on the website, exclusive tracked leads, and a 30-day guarantee you can read before you pay a cent. We verify every client's QBCC and ARCtick licences, not to be difficult, but because we only want to put our name next to tradies whose work we'd book ourselves.
Local, and staying local. We work one market at a time (Gold Coast first, then Brisbane) because suburb-level Google knowledge beats any national template.
We won't lock you in. Month-to-month, cancel in 14 days. If your diary is full, we pause your ads instead of selling you leads you can't service.
We won't sell you ad spend. Your money goes to Google and Meta directly on your own card. We never mark up spend, and you own every account we build.
Our name goes on every build. If a client fails the guarantee because of our work, the month is free. That accountability is the whole business model.
hipages shares every lead with up to three installers and charges credits whether you win or not, real cost per booked job is $200–300+. Our leads are exclusive: the call rings your phone only. And the Google asset we build keeps working even when ads are paused.
5 booked quote calls from homeowners in your service area within 30 days of launch, or that month is free. We count tracked phone calls: verifiable, not vibes.
You need a current QBCC Mechanical Services (Air-Con & Refrigeration) licence and ARCtick refrigerant licence, we verify both at onboarding. You never need any licence for us: we only do marketing, we never touch your tools.
You do, directly to Google/Meta on your own card, typically $1,000–1,500/mo at Core level. We never mark up ad spend, and you own the accounts outright.
We pause the ads. You never pay for leads you can't service. That's the difference between an engine you own and a marketplace you feed.
No lock-in. Month-to-month with 14 days' written notice, and you're out. We'd rather earn the next month than trap you in this one.
Summer is coming. The tradies who own their Google engine get the calls; the ones renting leads from marketplaces pay for the privilege. Free audit takes 5 minutes.
