LocalGenius for driving schools

You can't pick up mid reverse park. Your website can.

A website built for driving lessons: lesson packages, test prep, automatic and manual, nervous drivers and a page for every suburb you pick up from. Every parent's and learner's message lands in one inbox, and your Book buttons open the booking tool you already use.

What do you teach, and where?

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

One learner, L's to P's

8:47pm Monday. Booked by lunch Tuesday.

Dave teaches in his own dual-control car around Penrith in Western Sydney, back to back from 7am, with his phone face down in the cup holder. Lisa's daughter Mia, 16, has just got her L's and is nervous about her first lesson. This is how a question on the couch turns into a learner on her Ps, while Dave keeps his eyes on the road.

"Driving lessons Penrith", and your packages page is right there.

Lisa searches from the couch. Dave's Lesson packages page shows what new learners usually start with, automatic or manual, and the suburbs he picks up from. One thing she can't see: can he collect Mia from school? So she messages him on Facebook.

One reply in the lunch break, and Mia's first lesson is booked.

Lisa's Facebook message lands in the LocalGenius inbox with every Instagram message, website form, chat and email, each marked with where it came from. Parked between lessons, Dave taps his saved reply for new learners, which links his packages page and his booking page. By 12:40 Lisa has booked Mia's first lesson herself, in the booking tool Dave already uses.

Lisa M. · Facebook · 8:49pmHi Dave, my daughter Mia has just got her L's and she's pretty nervous. Could you pick her up from Jamison High after school? And how many lessons do most kids start with?
Dave · 12:31pm · sent to FacebookHi Lisa, congrats to Mia! Yes, I can pick her up from school. The car's automatic with dual controls, and we start in quiet streets, so no pressure. Most new learners start with the 10-lesson pack. It's all on the packages page, and you can book her first lesson here. Dave

Mia passes, and "Passed!" becomes this week's post.

After her lessons and the test-prep package, Mia drives out of the test centre on her Ps. Dave takes a photo of the new plate, Mia and Lisa say yes to sharing it, and Genius writes the post. Dave reads it in the car park, taps Approve, and it goes to Facebook, Instagram and your Google profile. Mia's friends see it first.

Lisa leaves five stars, and Mia's friend books next.

The morning after, LocalGenius sends Lisa a friendly text asking for a Google review. She writes one with her first coffee. The next parent searching "driving instructor near me" sees it, right next to your packages and your Website button. That afternoon, Chloe's mum messages.

Mia was so nervous to start. Dave picked her up from school, stayed calm every single lesson, and the test-prep package made all the difference. Passed first go!

That was one learner. LocalGenius does it for every one.

Your pages

Every page a parent reads before they book.

Nobody searches "driving school" and stops there. They search for a manual instructor, a mock test before the big day, someone patient for a nervous teenager, or lessons that pick up in their suburb. Each of those gets its own page, in plain words, and you approve every one.

    Questions

    What driving instructors ask us.

    $29.99 a month to start

    Four plans, from a simple website to fully managed. Free domain for the first year.

    See all plans →
    Does LocalGenius take lesson bookings or payments?

    No. Your Book buttons open the booking tool you already use, like Calendly, Square Appointments, Acuity or SimplyBook.me. Bookings and payments stay there. LocalGenius brings learners and parents to them.

    Can every suburb I pick up from get its own page?

    Yes. Pages are made in sets, one for each suburb, with the schools, stations and shops you pick up from. Add a new area any time by telling Genius.

    Can I post a "Passed!" photo?

    Once your learner says yes, and their parent too if they're under 18. Add the photo and Genius writes the post. You read it, change anything you like, and approve it before it goes to Facebook, Instagram and Google.

    Will my pages explain logbook hours and test rules?

    Your pages talk about your lessons. Rules are set by each state and they change, so we link learners to your state's official licensing page rather than spelling the rules out ourselves.

    I'm a solo instructor with one car. Is this for me?

    Yes. Plenty of driving schools are one instructor and one car. The website is yours, with your name and your areas. Got a second instructor? They can have their own page too.

    They pass Thursday. Their friends book Friday.

    Get your driving school website up, then let LocalGenius look after the pages, the messages, the posts and the reviews.
