LocalGenius for deck builders

Summer's coming. Every backyard wants a deck.

We build your deck website, then look after everything around the build. The photo of their old back step, the measure and quote, the build photos and the five stars after the first summer barbecue.

What decks do you build, and where?

From $29.99 a month. Free domain for the first year.

One deck, start to finish

From the old back step to the first summer barbecue.

Luke builds hardwood and composite decks in Melbourne's east. Follow one job in Croydon, from a Sunday-arvo photo to sausages on the new boards.

Grain & Board Decks, Luke and Emma are made up to show how it works

A photo of the back step, sent from the backyard.

Emma finds Grain & Board's “Hardwood decks in Croydon” page and sends a photo: “The back step's had it. Could we have a deck out to the lemon tree?” It lands in Luke's inbox with the photo, her suburb and the page she came from.

Every day's photos become a post.

Each arvo Luke snaps the day's work and types “add this to the Croydon deck”. Genius puts it in his gallery, on his Croydon page and in a post for Facebook and Instagram. Nothing goes out until he taps Publish. App coming soon

First summer barbecue on the new deck. Five stars.

At handover Luke tapped Ask for a review, and Emma got a friendly text. She saved it for the right night: first Saturday of summer, sausages on, kids out on the boards. The next person in Croydon searching “deck builder” sees it beside Luke's name.

Your decks, your suburbs

A page for every deck you build.

People don't search for “deck”. They search “spotted gum deck Croydon” or “deck oiling near me”. So every kind of deck and every suburb gets its own page, written the way locals ask.

Composite deckscomposite decking installers/composite-decks

Raised decksraised deck on a sloping block/raised-decks
Restoration and oilingdeck oiling near me/deck-restoration

Build patios and carports too?

Add pages for them too, so the other work you do gets found as well.

Questions

Things deck builders ask us.

Something else? Email support@localgenius.com.au and a real person will get back to you.

Do I have to write anything?

No. Tell us what you build and where, and LocalGenius writes your home page, a page for each kind of deck and a page for each suburb. Want something changed? Type it to Ask Genius, like “add merbau to my timbers page”.

Can customers send me a photo of the spot?

Yes. Your enquiry form can take a photo, and it arrives in your inbox with their message, suburb and the page they were on. Reply from your phone or start a quote from it.

Do my prices go on the website?

Only if you want them to. Most deck builders show their timbers and real builds, then send a quote with their own items and prices after the measure-up. GST is worked out for you.

Will it work with ServiceM8, Tradify or simPRO?

ServiceM8 connects in one click, as do HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zapier. Tradify, simPRO, AroFlo, Fergus, Jobber and others link up through Zapier, or our team can set it up with you.

Do posts go out without me seeing them?

Never. Posts are written for your business and the time of year, like getting the deck oiled before summer, then wait for your OK. Once you approve, they go to Facebook, Instagram and your Google Business Profile.

Summer barbecues are being planned now. Be the deck builder they find.

Get your deck website up, then let LocalGenius look after the enquiries, quotes, posts and reviews around every build.
