Built for Aussie plumbers, sparkies, HVAC, builders & landscapers

Your phone gets answered while you're on the tools.

AutoMeBiz sets you up with AI staff: a receptionist that texts back missed calls in seconds, answers enquiries, quotes your price ranges, and books the job. Plus the admin: quote follow-ups, review requests, invoice reminders and a weekly lead summary. We set it up and run it. You approve every word it says.

No setup fee · 3 months to start, then month to month · Australian numbers · Clear AI disclosure built in

Every missed call is a job for the next tradie on Google

You can't pick up with your hands in a wall cavity. Customers with a leak don't wait: they ring the next number. These are industry figures published by Australian tradie software and marketing firms. They're estimates, not independent audits, so the free audit below works out your numbers.

20–40%

of inbound calls to trade businesses are commonly reported as missed, mostly while on site or after hours.

Industry estimates: FlowWorks (citing ServiceM8), SYSTREE

$350–$500

is a typical value for an everyday plumbing job. Hot water replacements commonly run $1,200–$2,500+.

non-employing construction businesses were trading in Australia in June 2025. Most of them are the owner answering their own phone.

What are missed calls costing you?

Your own numbers, your own estimate. Change the inputs to match your business. This is a rough guide, not a promise of results.

Why "AutoMeBiz"?

Say it like a tradie: "automate me biz". Because the admin never stops: not at smoko, not after knock-off, not on a Saturday. AutoMeBiz handles the first reply, the booking and the chasing, so you can do the work you actually get paid for.

We start with the highest-impact fix (texting back every missed call within seconds) and then switch on the rest one piece at a time, using your prices, your service area and your rules.

Results vary by trade, area and how quickly you follow up. We don't promise a set number of extra jobs.

How it works

Live in about 7–10 working days. You keep your existing mobile number.

1

Free missed-call audit

We go through your call log, website and Google profile with you, then show where enquiries are slipping through and what that's likely costing you.

2

We build your AI staff

Set up with your prices, service area, hours and job types. You sign off the scripts, the price ranges and the AI disclosure wording before anything goes live.

3

It works, you check in

Missed calls get a text-back, enquiries get answered, jobs land in your calendar (or ServiceM8, Tradify or Jobber where supported), and you get a weekly summary.

Try: an emergency ("pipe burst"), a gas smell, a suburb outside the area ("Penrith"), "can I talk to a real person", or STOP.

FAQ

Will customers know they're talking to AI?

Yes. Every conversation opens by saying it's a virtual assistant, and customers can ask for a person at any time. We think hiding it costs trust, and the rules on AI transparency are tightening.

Will it quote prices I haven't agreed to?

No. It only gives the price ranges you approve, always says the final price is confirmed on site, and passes anything unusual to you.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You keep your mobile. Unanswered calls divert to your AutoMeBiz number (a standard carrier setting), which texts back or answers. Number porting is optional.

Are calls recorded?

Only if you want them to be, and only with a clear notice at the start of the call. Call-recording laws differ between states (NSW requires consent from all parties), so recording is off unless it's set up properly.

Does it work with ServiceM8, Tradify, Jobber or Xero?

Usually yes, via their integrations, depending on your plan with them. We'll confirm during your audit. Otherwise bookings go to Google or Apple Calendar.

What about emergencies and gas leaks?

Emergencies are escalated to you straight away. For gas smells it gives safety instructions and the gas distributor's emergency number. It won't try to diagnose anything dangerous.

Is there a lock-in?

3 months to start (that covers the website build and setup), then month to month. There's no setup fee.

What happens to my customers' data?

It's used only to run your business, kept in reputable platforms, and you can export it or have it deleted. See our privacy notice.

Free missed-call audit

15 minutes, no obligation. With your permission we look at the last two weeks of your call log, test how fast your website and Google profile enquiries get a reply, and give you a one-page estimate of what's slipping through, worked out from your own numbers.

No hard sell. If AutoMeBiz isn't a fit, you keep the audit.
