For trades & home service businesses

Missed calls, cold quotes, no reviews. That’s where trade jobs disappear.

Linkai helps trades and home service businesses catch enquiries, follow up quotes, ask for reviews and show up locally, without you stopping mid-job to play receptionist.

Busy trade-business reality

Jobs disappear in ordinary moments.

Not because you are bad at the work. Because the day gets full: the phone rings while you are on site, quotes need chasing after hours, reviews need asking for, and local customers choose whoever looks easiest to reach.

The phone rings while you are on site

A text-back goes out while you keep working.

You might be in a roof, under a sink, on a ladder, driving between jobs or talking to a customer. The caller still gets a fast reply before they try the next business.

The enquiry comes in after dinner

They hear from your business before morning.

A customer sends a form, Google message or missed-call reply at night. Instead of waiting until you check your phone, they get a useful next step while they are still choosing.

The quote goes out, then the week takes over

Follow-up is already queued.

You spent time pricing the job. They said they would think about it. A polite follow-up goes out at the right time, even if the next day turns into back-to-back callouts.

The job is finished and everyone moves on

The review request goes out automatically.

You did good work, packed up and went to the next job. The customer gets a simple review link while the experience is still fresh, so your proof keeps building.

A local customer searches for someone nearby

Your business looks clearer and easier to choose.

Your Google profile, service pages and suburb signals are tightened so more nearby customers understand what you do, where you work and why they should call.

Missed does not mean lost

They call. You miss it. Your business still answers.

The customer does not need to know you are halfway through another job. They get a quick reply from your business, the details are captured, and the follow-up keeps moving in the background.

Trades & home services hub

If you win local work by phone, quote and trust, this is built for you

ElectriciansPlumbersHVAC & air conditioning
Trade-specific next steps

Choose the version closest to your business

The hub gives the big picture. The trade pages get more specific, because emergency plumbing calls, electrical safety work, HVAC seasonality and renovation quotes each need different follow-up.

A practical response-and-follow-up system for busy trades.

This is not a campaign calendar or a folder of marketing ideas. It is the operational follow-through most trade businesses need but rarely have time to run properly.

  • More enquiries captured, including after hours and while you’re on site
  • Faster first response, so you’re first in the running before the next tradie calls back
  • Every quote followed up automatically until it converts or goes cold
  • A steady stream of Google reviews without you having to ask
  • Better local visibility so more searchers find you first
  • Less admin: no chasing, no forgetting, no dropped balls
What’s included

One connected system for leads, follow-up, and reviews

The pieces work together: missed-call capture, enquiry response, quote follow-up, review requests and local visibility. One system, set up around how a trade business actually runs.

Missed Call Text Back & AI Receptionist

Answer every call in your business name, day and night. Missed calls get an automatic text back so you’re first to respond, even when you’re on site.

Lead Capture & Quote Follow-Up

Catch enquiries from your site and Google, and follow up quotes automatically until they book or say no.

Feedback & Reviews

Ask for feedback after completed work and make genuine Google reviews easier to leave.

Local Visibility & Google Profile

Show up for “near me” searches. We keep your Google Business Profile sharp and your local rankings climbing.

Where to start

Start with the part you already feel

You do not need to rebuild the whole business. Most tradies start with the obvious pressure point, usually missed calls, after-hours enquiries or cold quotes, then add reviews and local visibility once the first fix is working.

Missed Call Text Back

Instantly respond to missed callers so you’re first back to them, even while on site.

Review Automation

Grow your Google rating automatically after every completed job.

Lead Capture & Follow-Up

Catch every enquiry and chase every quote without remembering to do it yourself.

Full Trades Growth System

The complete setup: missed calls, enquiries, quote follow-up, reviews, and local visibility working together.

Frequently asked questions

No. Answering the call is one piece of it. The system also gets you found on Google, follows up your quotes and builds your reviews, so you win more of the work you’re already chasing, not just catch the calls you miss.

Yes. It works with the number you already have. Customers call the same number, nothing changes for them, and you keep the number you’ve built up.

Yes. The messages and the way it answers are set up to sound like you, and you can change them whenever you want. It’s your business voice, not a generic script.

They get answered, not left until morning. Calls get picked up or texted straight back, and web and Google enquiries get an instant reply, so the customer hears from you before they ring the next business.

It answers naturally in your business name and takes the details like a good receptionist would. Anything it can’t handle comes straight to you. The aim is a fast, professional response, not tricking anyone.

We connect with ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO, Fergus, Xero and MYOB. If you use something else, tell us on the call and we’ll check it.

No. There’s nothing to install and no new gear to buy. It runs on the tools you already use, set up and managed for you.

Most setups go live within a week. There’s one onboarding session, then we build and connect everything. You’re not waiting months.

Managed packages start with a 3-month foundation term. This is not software access we switch on and leave with you; we are building, launching and improving a working system together. After the first 3 months, monthly management continues month to month unless we agree a different scope.

There are options at every level, from a single fix to the full system. Visit the pricing page for the breakdown, or book a call and we’ll recommend what fits where you’re at.

You get full support from our Australian team. If you ever need to tweak your message or check your settings, we’re just a phone call away.
