Tradies in Margaret River
Out of range past Karridale? Your phone still gets answered.
Tradies Line is the AI receptionist for Margaret River tradies, from Busselton and Dunsborough down to Augusta. When you're mid-job in Yallingup, elbow-deep in a coolroom mid-vintage, or out of range past Karridale, it answers the calls you can't take. It books the job or captures the lead, and confirms it by text.
No card needed. Keep your existing 08 number or mobile.
1 in 4 houses
sits empty most of the year, holiday homes with owners three hours up the highway
1.6 million overnight visitors
a year, in a region of about 66,000 residents
About 90 km
Busselton to Augusta, one long strip with no metro backup, so drive time is missed-call time
The calls you can't take down south
The empty holiday home.
A manager finds a burst flexi hose in a Dunsborough holiday home two days before the owner's Christmas bookings. The owner's in Perth, so the manager rings down the list and stops at the first tradie who answers.
Peak season floods, off-season goes quiet.
Between Christmas and Australia Day every accommodation house, park and cellar door is full, and that's exactly when the hot water systems, coolrooms and aircon fail. The calls you miss in January are the margin that carries July.
Out of range past the vines.
The karri forest and the farm country south of Margaret River kill signal, and nearly half the shire is forest or national park. Your phone has no bars, so the call rings out.
What it does on a Margaret River call
It answers on your existing 08 number.
Your customers keep ringing the number they already know. When you're on the tools, driving, or off for the night, the call forwards to your AI receptionist and gets answered in a natural local voice.
It books the job or takes the lead.
It books the job straight onto your calendar, or captures a structured lead with the suburb and the details you need to quote. One SMS confirms any booking, in your business name.
It answers wherever the job is on the strip.
Forwarding happens in the network, so a call gets answered while you're out of range past Karridale or mid-crush at a Wilyabrup winery. It takes the property, the access and the details as a structured lead, and books what fits your calendar, from Busselton to Augusta. It works to your services, prices and hours.
It texts you on urgent jobs.
A limb through a patio roof in a winter front, a coolroom down mid-vintage at a cellar door. When a call is a genuine emergency it texts your own mobile with the details while the caller is still on the line, on every plan.
Areas we cover
Common questions
Most of my work comes from holiday-home owners and managers who aren't local. Does that work?
Yes. Callers don't need to know your area. The AI answers your existing 08 number, captures who's calling, which property and what the job is, and either books it or hands you a structured lead. Absentee owners get answered like locals.
I cover the whole strip from Busselton to Augusta. Can it tell me where the job is?
Yes. Every booking or lead includes the location, so you can group Augusta jobs into one run instead of burning a morning on the highway, and knock back work on the wrong end of the region.
Do I need a new number?
No. You keep your existing 08 number or mobile and set up conditional call forwarding in your phone settings, in a few minutes. The dashboard has step-by-step instructions for the major AU carriers.
Will my customers know it's an AI?
It answers in natural, fluent English, takes the job details properly, and introduces itself as an AI so there are no surprises. No hold music, no offshore call centre.
What does it cost?
Solo is $99 a month, Teams is $299. Both start with a 7-day free trial.
