In Brisbane, the job is usually won on a phone, in the few seconds between a "plumber near me" search and the first number a homeowner taps. If your site loads a beat slow, hides its service area, or buries the quote form, that job quietly goes to the next tradie. Start with a free instant scan — your score out of 100 and your top issues in seconds, no signup.
Brisbane is growing fast, and the buyers here are pragmatic — they want clear value for money and they decide quickly. A homeowner in Wynnum with a burst pipe, a builder in Chermside chasing a fence quote, a family in Indooroopilly comparing two electricians: almost all of them are on a phone, in a hurry, and they're reading your site the way Google and an AI assistant read it — by structure, not by how nice the hero photo looks.
The catch is that a lot of contractor and home-services sites around Brisbane were built years ago, or pieced together DIY, and they've quietly fallen behind on the things that now decide the call: mobile load speed, the markup that tells Google your trade and your suburbs, and the trust signals that make a stranger pick you. The free instant scan reads your live site and hands back a score out of 100 plus your biggest issues in seconds — no signup, no sales call — so you can see, in plain terms, whether your site is helping or hurting before you spend a cent.
None of these throw an error. The site loads, looks fine, and still under-delivers — the damage shows up as a quieter week, not a broken page. These are the leaks I see most often on Brisbane trade and home-services sites:
The free instant scan is fast and honest. Drop in your URL and in seconds you get:
One number for how your live site reads to humans, search and AI — so you instantly know if it's a strength or a leak.
The handful of problems hurting you most right now, in plain English — not a 40-page PDF dump.
No account, no call, nothing upfront. A real check on your real pages, free.
Beyond the scan, there are 12 free tools you can point at your site right now — each one isolates a single thing that matters to a Brisbane home-services business. Quick to run, no signup.

When the free scan shows there's real money leaking, the deep audit is the next step. It's a human-reviewed report that runs 149 checks across 15 categories — every issue ranked by what it's actually costing your Brisbane business, each with a plain-English fix you can action, hand to a developer, or hand back to me.
The fee credits toward any fix work, so if you hire me to rebuild what it finds, the audit pays for itself. Free scan first, though — there's no reason to pay until you've seen the gap.
A trade site drifts: a plugin update breaks the quote form, a new suburb page ships without schema, the server hiccups during a storm. Audit clients can opt into ongoing monitoring — monthly re-scans that catch problems early and uptime alerts the moment your site goes down, so you're never quietly losing a busy Saturday's calls to a page nobody knew had fallen over. It's a soft, no-pressure option — ask about it when your report lands.
The free scan and the 12 tools will show you what's wrong. But when you need someone to actually rebuild the structure — the schema, the mobile-speed work, the conversion path that turns a "near me" tap into a booked job — that's me, Jerome Bilaos, a Technical Web Architect.
I'm based in the Philippines and serve Brisbane businesses remotely — about two hours behind AEST, which in practice means I can review your site overnight and have answers waiting at the start of your working day. No fabricated local address, no call centre — just real work and a real contact: [email protected]. See how I think about this on my portfolio, browse other locations I serve, or book a call when you're ready.
Yes. The free instant scan reads your live site the way a phone does and returns a score out of 100 plus your top issues — including mobile load speed and whether you've told Google your service area. It's the exact moment a homeowner in Paddington or Carindale decides whether to tap your number or the next tradie's. No signup, results in seconds.
No. The free scan is fast and focused: a score out of 100 and your top issues in seconds, with no signup. The 149 checks across 15 categories are the paid $297 deep audit — a human-reviewed report with a prioritised fix list.
Indirectly but powerfully. The deep audit checks whether your reviews, ratings and LocalBusiness structured data are marked up so Google and AI assistants can show your star rating in results. Brisbane homeowners compare two or three tradies at a glance — if your stars don't show and a competitor's do, you lose the click before the quote.
Yes. A website audit is read remotely from your live pages — location doesn't change what Google and AI see. Working from the Philippines I'm about two hours behind AEST, so I can review your site and reply inside your Brisbane working day. No fabricated local office; just [email protected] and a real person.
Yes. Clunky "request a quote" forms are one of the biggest quiet leaks for home-services sites. The deep audit reviews form length, mobile usability, the tap-to-call path and the friction between landing and enquiry — so the homeowner who's ready to book actually does.
The free scan and the request cost nothing. The deep audit is USD $297, one-time, via a secure link (Wise or PayPal). If you hire me to rebuild what it finds, the $297 is credited toward that work — so the audit pays for itself.
Same audit, written for the market you actually sell in.
