Construction & Trades — Australian tech stack
Builders and trades run Fergus, Simpro, ServiceM8 or Buildxact, quote from the ute, and lose jobs because Google and the website are stale. Tech Aid covers the digital layer: sites, SEO, and someone who can fix the office tech.
Typical problems
- The website has no service-area pages so “plumber near me” goes to a directory
- Quotes live in WhatsApp and never hit the job system
- Office manager is also the unofficial IT person
How Tech Aid helps
- Local SEO and suburb landing pages tied to real service areas
- Websites with quote forms that email the right person
- Device, printer and NBN help for the office and site dongles

FAQs
Can you work with Fergus or ServiceM8?
We do not replace the job system. We connect the public website, quote intake and office tech so those tools get used.
