The free visibility audit

The check takes seconds. This one takes a person.

Run the free check and you’ll see the screen a customer sees: where you come up, who’s above you, what the AI assistants say when they’re asked who to call. That’s the photograph.

The audit is what a photograph can’t do. Someone sits down with your name, your trade and your suburbs, searches the way your customers search, and then goes looking for the reason the screen looks like that. Where your details disagree with each other across the web. Which of the names above you is a real competitor and which is a directory. What would move first, and what isn’t worth touching.

Two minutes to ask. A day for someone to do it properly.

Two minutes of typing. We do the deep research.

The more you give us, the more we find. Results move about — what you get back is the picture on the day.

What happens to what you type here. We use it to run the audit and to email you the result. That’s the entire list. We don’t sell it, we don’t add you to a mailing list. Two emails: one when you ask, and one within a business day with what we found.

Rather just email? hello@ambitioustradies.com. Business name and suburb in the body is enough.

What a person looks at

Four things. All of them you can go and check yourself afterwards.

01

Where you come up for your trade and your suburb

The ordinary blue results and the map block above them, searched as a stranger rather than as you. A position, or nothing — and nothing is a real answer, not an error.

02

Who is above you, by name

The businesses taking the searches you’re missing, with their review counts, and which of them are real competitors rather than directories. Names, so you can go and look at what they’ve got that you haven’t.

03

Which directories have you, and which have you wrong

Where your details already appear across the web, and where they disagree with each other. Old hours, a number from two vans ago, a trading name that only half matches. Every one of those is a version of you sitting out there, and nothing on the web says which one is current.

04

Whether your socials are findable at all

Facebook, Instagram and the rest — present, missing, or abandoned in 2021 with the old number still on it. A dead profile ranking for your own name is worse than no profile.

What lands, and what happens next

One business day. Written, in plain English, by a person who has looked.

It comes back as an email you can read on the ute, with a link to your own private page — not listed, not searchable. Where you turn up, who’s above you, what’s wrong with your details, and the one thing we’d fix first — which won’t always be the most expensive thing on our price list.

If the honest answer is that you’re fine, that’s what the email says. We’d rather tell you that than invent a problem to justify a quote.

Nobody rings you. Not that day, not a week later, not from a number you don’t recognise. At the bottom there’s a link to book a call if you want one, and that call starts from the audit — you’ve read it, we’ve written it, so nobody spends the first ten minutes catching up. Use the link or don’t. Until you do, the email is the whole of it.

Straight up

What the audit can’t tell you

Worth knowing before you spend two minutes on the form.

It can’t promise you leads. Search volume is a count of people typing something, not a count of people ringing you. Any jobs figure built on it, including the rough one in the free check, is a guide, not a forecast.

It can’t tell you what Google will do next. It’s a photograph of one day, and the date goes on it for exactly that reason.

It isn’t a full technical site audit. It’s what a customer sees from the outside. What’s under the bonnet of your website is a different job and we’d tell you if it looked like the problem.

And it isn’t a quote. You get the findings whether or not there’s anything for us to sell you.

Why you’d trust a business you can’t see

Fair question.

There’s no team photo on this site and no founder’s letter, because there’s no team. It’s a small operation based on the Gold Coast working with tradies right across Australia, and pretending otherwise would be the first lie.

What we do instead of a smiling stock photo is put everything checkable in public. Every price we charge is on one page with the year’s total worked out. What happens to your patch if you stop paying is printed on the price list rather than buried in a contract. One thing we could easily bill you for is listed as something we won’t sell, with the reason. None of that is generous — it’s just the only way a business with no face earns anything from a bloke who’s been burnt once already.

The audit is the cheapest test of whether any of that is true. Two minutes to ask, and a day later you’ll know whether we did what we said.

Questions about the free visibility audit

Is it actually free, or free until you find something?
Actually free. There’s no invoice at the end of it and no card taken to start it. We do it because it’s the cheapest way for you to find out whether we know what we’re talking about.
Why does it take a day?
Because a person does it, not a machine. The instant version is the free check and it’s on your screen in seconds. This one is someone searching your patch, going through the directories and writing it up. Sent on a Saturday, you’ll have it Monday. If something’s gone wrong at our end and it’s going to be longer, you get an email saying so rather than silence.
What’s the difference between this and the free check?
The check runs itself and shows you the screen: where you come up, who’s above you, what the AI assistants say. On screen, in seconds, no email. The audit is a person looking at the same patch and going further — the directories that have you wrong, which of the names above you are real competitors, and what to fix first. One business day, in writing.
Can you walk me through it?
Yes, and that’s the best use of it. There’s a booking link in the email. Pick a time and we go through the findings together — you’ll have read it, we’ll have written it, so the call starts at what to do about it rather than at introductions.
Will someone ring me?
No. It comes as an email, and there’s a booking link in it if you’d rather talk. We don’t use that link. You do. We ask for a phone number because it’s useful if you’d rather talk, not so we can start calling you. If you’d rather not give one, leave it blank — the form will still go through.
What do you do with my details?
Run the audit and email you back. That’s the whole list. Not sold, not shared, not added to a mailing list. Two emails: one when you ask, and one within a business day with what we found.
Could I run most of this myself, without you?
Quite a lot of it, yes, and we’ve written how. Open a private browsing window so you’re not signed in, type your trade and your suburb, and look at who comes up. Then search your own business name and write down every place your details appear and whether they agree. That’s most of the value and it costs you an hour instead of a form.
I’ve already got a website. Is this still worth doing?
That’s the most useful case for it. A site that exists and isn’t bringing work is a different problem from having no site, and the audit is what tells the two apart. A site can be structurally fine and still say nothing specific about where you work, which is a writing job rather than a rebuild.
What if my area is already taken?
The audit tells you, before any money is discussed. We build for one trade per patch, so if someone in your trade a few suburbs over is already with us, we’ll say so in the email rather than let you get to a quote first. You still get the findings.
Do I have to buy something afterwards?
No, and there’s nothing structured to push you into it. The email tells you what we’d fix first. Sometimes that’s a $397 job, sometimes it’s something you can do yourself in an afternoon, and sometimes it’s a build. Which one it is depends on what we find, not on what we’d rather sell.

Two minutes to ask. A day for someone to do it properly.

Business name, suburb and an email to send it to. That’s the whole ask.

Free. In writing, in one business day. A booking link in the email if you want to talk it through, and nothing if you don’t.
