Birdcage Business Builders

// birdcage business builders · the tradey package

Built to Build Aussie Trades.

From the one-ute owner-operator to a $5M multi-region crew. One subscription replaces your website, lead tracker, quoting, Google ads and that 2019 spreadsheet.

Trades in WA, VIC, NSW, QLD · GST inclusive · No lock-in beyond 60-day notice

// the problem

You are great on the tools. The rest is the bit that hurts.

Solo sparky or $3M operator on 6 vans, the pain is the same shape. You can't grow what you can't see, or quote and chase faster than the day allows.

01

Leads slip through the cracks

A scribbled name, a missed callback, a voicemail you never returned. Each lost lead is $1,500 to $8,000 in margin.

02

Quoting eats your weekend

Word doc, then invoice, then Xero, then a fridge card. A 90-minute quote wins the job. A 5-day one loses it.

03

Deposits wait 5 days

“I'll transfer Friday.” They don't. Across 80 jobs a year that delay is about $40,000 of working capital you can't reach.

// what you get

One subscription. Everything you actually need.

Software, marketing, branding and a website are not four things. They are one thing, and we sell them as one.

// your website

A site that earns the call

Custom 5-page site, hosted and maintained, mobile-first, lead form wired into your Hub. The first impression you actually control.

// your business engine

The Hub runs the back office

Leads, quotes, jobs and reviews in one place. Branded quote PDFs, a phone accept page, automated reviews. The business stops living in your head.

// your shop window

Found first, then chosen

Google Business Profile, Maps, social and a local ads campaign, managed. 70% of customers find a tradie on Google first. We make you the obvious pick.

// pricing

Pick the tier that matches your business.

Want to spread setup?

Ask about the 24-month plan: zero setup, slightly higher monthly, then it drops.

Why bundle ads?

One bill. We pay Google and Meta directly, never mark up, and show you the spend.

// how it works

From signup to live in 7 days.

Our framework is built once and configured per customer. Live in week 1, ads by week 2, leads by week 3.

01

15-minute chat

Tell us your trade, your area, your pain. We tell you the tier that fits and the first 90 days.

02

Sign up, pay setup

One-off setup on signup, monthly starts as we build. We grab your logo, photos and a 30-minute interview.

03

We build (week 1)

Website, Hub, Google profile and ad campaigns, configured to your brand. 5 working days, not 12 weeks.

04

Go live (week 2)

Site launches, old links redirect, ads switch on with a soft-launch budget. Leads start landing in your Hub.

// who it's for

Are we a fit?

Some trades get every dollar back in 90 days. Others get more from a different setup. We'd rather say so upfront.

// this is for you if

  • Australian service-trade business
  • You do $250k to $5M+ a year
  • Sick of running the business from a notes app
  • You want one subscription, one bill, one provider
  • You know Google ads work, you just don't want the dashboard
  • You want to look as serious online as the franchise mob

// this isn't for you if

  • A one-day-a-week side hustle
  • You sell products, not services (no e-commerce)
  • You want to micromanage every keyword and post
  • You want a $200/hr bespoke agency, not a subscription
  • You are outside Australia

// faq

The honest questions.

I'm a $4M business. Is this just for smaller trades?

No. Scale and Premium are built for $2M to $5M: mobile app, custom quote sections, multi-region ads, dedicated management. Enterprise (over $5M) is bespoke.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Month to month, 60-day notice. The only exception is the optional 24-month plan, which drops the setup fee.

I already have a website I like. Do I have to throw it out?

If it's modern and converts on mobile, we drop the rebuild and knock the cost off. If it's a 2018 Wix or GoDaddy build, you'll want the rebuild.

What happens to my customer data if I cancel?

It's yours. Full export of customers, quotes, jobs and reviews. Your domain and code, handed over clean.

Where does my ad spend go?

Straight to Google and Meta, paid out of your subscription, never marked up. The monthly report shows the receipts.

Who answers the phone when something breaks?

A real person at Birdcage. Next-day on Solo and Established, same-day on Growth, inside 4 and 2 hours on Scale and Premium. Never offshore.

What if I outgrow my tier?

We bump you at your annual review and honour your current tier until then. Shrink and we move you down. No penalty for a tight year.

Will my data be safe?

Australian-hosted (Sydney), daily off-site backups, SSL on everything, no third-party sharing.

Can I see what other businesses pay?

This page is the price. No negotiation, no surcharges. The only discount is BYO logo.

I'm not in WA. Does this still work?

Yes. We work with trades anywhere in Australia.

// the promise

The agency stuff we don't do.

We won't lock you in

60-day notice, your data and domain always yours. You walk, we hand it over clean.

We won't mark up ad spend

Every ad dollar goes to Google or Meta. The report shows the receipts.

We won't drown you in jargon

Plain English, plain reports, real numbers.

Ready to stop running it out of a notes app?

Book a 15-minute chat. We'll tell you the tier that fits and the first 90 days. No pitch, no follow-up sequence that won't leave you alone.
