I help Australian service businesses get more booked jobs.
I find where useful enquiries are being lost, then fix the smallest part of the system that can improve the path from demand to booked work. That may mean SEO, ads, the website, call handling or follow-up. I am based in Melbourne and work directly with service businesses across Australia.

The Melbourne on-site difference
I come to
the business.
A questionnaire can tell me what you sell. It cannot show me how the phone gets answered, what customers ask or what makes your work worth choosing.
If you are in Melbourne, I drive to your shop, clinic or job site. I shoot your photos and videos, meet the team and set things up at your desk. If you are elsewhere in Australia, the work is remote, but you still deal directly with me.

Real numbers, real client
I run all the marketing for a home service business. Here's what that looks like.
These numbers come from a Melbourne business I still manage today. The full case study explains what was measured and how the system worked.

Case study
153 leads. Here is how the system worked.
A Melbourne pest-control business I work with recorded 153 leads in 28 days at about $35 per lead, with roughly 62% of those leads marked as booked. The biggest single win was turning missed phone calls into booked work using an AI receptionist.
01 / CONSTRAINT
The problem.The business was spending on ads, but the owners were on the tools all day and could not answer the phone. Calls went to voicemail, and most callers just rang the next business on Google. They were paying to generate leads and then losing them.
02 / SYSTEM
What I built.I restructured Google Ads around calls and bookings, rebuilt the website to convert more visitors and added an AI receptionist. It captures job details and helps book work, including after hours.
03 / RESULT
The result.The system produced 153 leads in 28 days at about $35 per lead, and around 62% were marked as booked. That booking status does not prove that each job was completed or paid.

Don't take my word for it. Ring my AI.
The number on this site is answered by the same kind of AI receptionist I build for clients. Call or text it right now. It answers in seconds, tells you what I do, and books you a callback.
If it can do that for a stranger reading my website, picture it handling the routine missed calls you approve while you're on the tools, with a person taking over when the call falls outside the rules.
Real number. Try to stump it.

Need someone local who can see the business behind the screen?
I am based in Tarneit and work directly with service businesses across Melbourne. I can visit your office, clinic, workshop or site when being there will improve the work.
The boundary
Melbourne visits are by arrangement, including the south-east. I do not claim an office there. Digital work remains available to suitable service businesses Australia-wide.
Choose the problem you need to solve
These pages cover three different decisions. Start with the one closest to the problem you can see now.
Direct specialist vs typical agency
Should you work with a direct specialist or a typical agency?
A direct specialist suits owners who want to speak with the person doing the work. A larger agency may suit a business that needs a broad team across several channels or markets. The table shows how my working model differs.

How it works
Three steps. You deal with me.
Get in touch
Fill in the form or call me. Tell me what you do, where you work and what is getting in the way. I keep the first conversation short.
I map the system
I inspect your ads, website, phones and follow-up, then give you a straight plan. Melbourne clients can do this on site; everywhere else, we do it directly online.
Measure and improve
I build and run the agreed system, then review the useful numbers with you: recorded enquiries, cost per lead and booking feedback where the data is available.

FAQ
Straight answers.
I help service businesses across Australia get more calls and booked jobs through Google Ads, local SEO, Meta ads and AI automation. I also work on review systems and content strategy. I am based in Melbourne, where clients can book on-site photo and video as well. You deal with me throughout the work.
I look at the whole path from being found to getting the job booked. Depending on the problem, I may work on Google Ads, local SEO, Facebook and Instagram ads, AI automation, content or measurement. I do the work directly for service businesses across Australia. Melbourne clients can also book on-site content and setup.
Yes. I provide SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads and AI automation to service businesses across Australia. I am based in Melbourne, so local clients can also book an on-site visit, photography or video. Elsewhere in Australia, I handle strategy, campaigns, tracking and automation remotely, and you still deal directly with me.
The price depends on the work. Some clients need Google Ads management. Others need the ads connected to a landing page, tracking and follow-up, or ongoing content and social media. I charge a flat monthly amount, work month to month and do not take a percentage of ad spend. Tell me about the business and I will give you a clear price before we start. I will also say if the numbers do not make sense for you.
Work with a direct specialist if you want one accountable person across lead generation and follow-up. A larger agency may make more sense when you need a broad team working across several channels or markets. With me, the person you meet does the work and the arrangement is month to month. I take a limited number of clients because there is only one of me.
AI automation handles repetitive customer tasks while you are busy. I usually use it to respond to suitable missed calls, capture approved job details, help with a booking step and follow up open quotes or enquiries. A person should take over when a call is sensitive, unusual or outside the agreed rules.
If your business is in Melbourne, yes. I can visit the business, photograph or film real jobs, meet the team and help set up systems in person. For clients elsewhere in Australia, I handle strategy, campaigns, tracking and automation remotely. You still have direct access to me.
No. Everything is month to month. You should be able to leave if the work is not useful. I do ask for a fair testing window because Google Ads and SEO need time to collect data and settle. Before we start, I will explain what a reasonable timeline looks like for your service and market.
It depends on the channel, the starting point and whether the business can handle the enquiries. Paid campaigns can collect search and enquiry data soon after launch, while SEO usually needs a longer review window. Automation can begin handling approved workflows once it has been tested. For context, one Melbourne pest-control client recorded 153 leads at about A$35 each during one 28-day reporting window. That result is not a promise for another business.
