Websites for trade businesses

You're on the tools. The phone rings out. They ring the next bloke.

Every missed call is a job someone else is quoting. ClickRate builds you a website that takes the enquiry for you and texts it straight to your phone, with their number ready to call back.

No card · No sales call · See it before you pay

The bit that matters

The job lands on your phone, not in an inbox.

No app to open, no password, no email you'll read at nine that night. A text, like any other text, with everything you need to ring them back.

Reply from the ute, book it in, and get back to what you were doing. No sitting down at night to work through an inbox.

How it works

Three steps. We do most of them.

The only part that needs you takes about five minutes on your phone.

Step 01

We build it first

We put your site together before you've paid anything, using your business details. You look at it on your phone and decide.

Step 02

You make it yours

Add your logo, your colour, photos of your work and a few lines about the business. Seven short questions, about five minutes.

Step 03

We hook it up to Google

Your Google listing is where most people already find you. We show you how to point it at the new site, which is what turns it into enquiries.

Step 04

The leads start arriving

Someone finds you, fills in the form, and it's on your phone in seconds. You ring them back. That's the whole thing.

What you get

Everything, for one price.

No setup fee, no hosting bill six months later, no invoice for a change of phone number.

Your own domain

A proper .com.au registered in your business name, not ours. Yours to keep.

Fast, secure hosting

Loads quickly on a phone with patchy reception, locked down, backed up, nothing to manage.

Leads by text

Every enquiry to your mobile in seconds, with their number and what they need.

Change it yourself, any time

Click any bit of text and type over it, before it goes live and long after. No tickets, no waiting, no charge.

Own it, don't rent it

Lead sites charge per lead. And they charge the bloke next to you for the same one.

The difference is not really the price. It is whose customer it is at the end.

Buying leads
  • × $30 to $80 a lead, whether you win it or not
  • × The same job goes to up to three tradies
  • × You compete on price with strangers
  • × $139 to $649 a month on top, before credits
  • × Contracts that auto-renew for twelve months
  • × The customer belongs to the platform. Next year you pay for them again

At a realistic close rate that is $200 to $400 in lead fees per job you actually win.

Your own site
  • $129 a month, whatever comes in
  • Every enquiry is yours alone
  • They chose you before they made contact
  • Nothing on top. No credits, no bidding
  • Thirty days notice, no contract
  • The customer is yours, and so is the domain

Four enquiries in a month is about $32 each. Ten is $13. It gets cheaper the better it works, not dearer.

Worth knowing: Oneflare shut its doors in June 2026 and the tradies who relied on it lost the channel overnight. A site in your own name is the one bit of marketing nobody can switch off.

Price

One price. Cancel whenever you like.

Below is exactly what you get, so there is nothing to work out later.

Everything included

$129a month, inc GST

One roof repair, one switchboard, one blocked drain. That's the month covered.

What "a one-page website" means

Everything on one scrolling page, which is how people read on a phone. No menus to get lost in.

  • Header with your logo, business name and a quote button
  • Opening section saying what you do and where
  • Your services, up to twelve, each explained properly
  • How a job runs, so people know what happens after they call
  • Why people call you, in your own words
  • The suburbs you cover, set large
  • About the business
  • Photos of your work, up to twelve
  • Quote form with photo upload, feeding straight to your phone
  • Footer with your licence number and ABN once we have verified them

Written for Google as well as for people, so it can be found when someone searches your trade and your suburb.

Straight up

We'd rather earn it each month than tie you up.

ClickRate is new. Rather than pretend otherwise, here is what that actually means for you.

You own the domain

Registered against your ABN in your business name, with us as technical contact. If you leave, it leaves with you. That is the opposite of how most of this industry works, and it is on purpose.

You keep your leads

Every enquiry goes to your phone and your email. They are your customers and your records. We do not sell them, share them, or pass them to anyone else in your trade.

Nothing to sign

No contract, no minimum term, no exit fee. Thirty days notice, by text if you like. If the phone is not ringing, you should not be paying.

Australian, and small

Run from the Central Coast, NSW. You deal with the person who builds it. No offshore support desk and no account manager you will never meet.

If you cancel

You are not left with nothing.

The domain is already yours, so it stays yours and we hand over the keys. We send you every photo and every word from the site so you can hand it to whoever comes next. The site itself comes down at the end of the month you have paid for.

The only thing you lose is the site and the text alerts. Nothing is held hostage to make leaving painful.

Questions

The ones we get asked.

Do I own the domain?

Yes. It's registered in your business name against your ABN, with us as technical contact. If you ever leave, it goes with you. We think that's the only fair way to do it.

What if I'm no good with computers?

You don't need to be. We build the site first, then ask you seven short questions on your phone. If you'd rather not answer them, the site still works.

Do I have to sign anything?

No contract and no lock-in. Thirty days notice and you're done. We'd rather earn it each month than trap you for twelve.

What happens to the website if I cancel?

The domain is registered in your name, so it simply stays yours and we transfer the keys across. We also send you every photo and all the wording from the site, so you can hand it straight to whoever builds your next one.

The site itself comes down at the end of the month you have already paid for, and the text alerts stop. Nothing is withheld to make leaving awkward.

Is one page really enough?

For a trade business, usually yes. Someone with a burst pipe wants to know what you do, where you work and how to reach you, and they want it on a phone in under a minute. Extra pages mostly give people somewhere to get lost.

If you later want separate pages for each service or suburb, we can add them. We would rather do that when there is a reason than sell you nine pages nobody reads.

Can I change the wording once it's live?

Yes, and at no charge. Click any bit of text on your own site and type over it. Headline, services, suburbs, the lot. It saves as you go.

We send you the link to do it when the site goes live, and again in the monthly text, so you cannot lose it.

Will it show up on Google?

Your Google listing is almost certainly where most people find you already. During setup we show you how to point it at the new site, which is the step that turns a website into enquiries.

The site is written for search as well as for people, so it can be found when someone types your trade and your suburb. That builds over time rather than overnight, and anyone promising otherwise is guessing.

What happens to the leads?

They go to your phone as a text and to your email as a backup. They're your customers and your details, and we don't sell them to anybody.

How long until it's live?

The site exists before you've paid. Once you're happy it's live the same day on a ClickRate address, and on your own domain within about five working days.

Have a look first

We'll build it before you decide.

Tell us your business name and we'll send you a link to the site we'd make. No obligation, no sales call, nothing to cancel.
