Missed call, 07:42

Text sent: Sorry we missed you. What's the job?

An example. Your trade, your suburbs.

“I'm good at what I do. People just don't find me unless someone tells them about me.”

Word of mouth only goes so far.Search and a fast reply go further.

  • Customers search before they ask

    Referrals keep you busy, but they don't grow you. New customers are typing "electrician near me" right now, and someone else is getting the call.

  • A cheap site costs you jobs

    A site that looks like it cost R1,500 tells customers what to expect before they call. Your work deserves a first impression that matches it.

  • Quote platforms make you a price

    On a directory you're one of forty names competing on price. On your own site, ranking in your suburbs, you're the only name on the page.

  • Missed calls go to the next name

    You can't answer while you're on a roof or under a sink. The customer doesn't wait, they call the next number on the list.

Built to win the call-out.And to make sure you answer it.

Everything we build for a trade has one aim: someone with a problem finds you, trusts you and gets hold of you.

  • Found where you work

    Pages for the suburbs you actually cover, so a search from Moreleta Park finds a page that names it.

  • Trusted at a glance

    A custom design that looks established before anyone reads a word, with your real work and real reviews.

  • Calls, not just visits

    Tap-to-call, WhatsApp and a short quote form on every page, because most of your customers find you on a phone.

  • Yours to update

    Change prices, services and job photos from your phone between jobs. No developer, no waiting.

  • Missed calls, answered

    When you're on a job, an AI assistant answers, books the job into your calendar and sends you a summary.

  • Quotes and invoices, followed up

    Enquiries get a reply in minutes, quotes get a follow-up, and invoices go out when the job closes.

What trades askbefore they commit.

How much does a website cost for a plumber or electrician in Pretoria?

A custom trade website from JLC Studio is R10,000 on Launch (up to 5 pages, R850 a month), R16,500 on Growth (up to 8 pages with suburb pages and a blog, R1,250 a month) or R24,000 on Authority (up to 12 pages, R1,750 a month). A R2,500 template is cheaper, but it looks like one and won't compete with established names.

How long before my trade website shows up on Google?

Expect movement in 4 to 8 weeks for easy searches like your name plus a suburb, and 3 to 6 months for terms like "electrician Pretoria". A new domain has no history, so early results come from your Google Business Profile and suburb searches. Nobody can promise page one, and anyone who does is guessing.

Do I need a website if I have a Google Business Profile?

Yes, they work together. The profile gets you into the map results, and Google ranks those partly on the website behind them. Profiles without a real site are often outranked. The profile gets you seen, and the website makes people trust you enough to call.

Can you build pages for the suburbs I work in?

Yes. Suburb pages work best for a trade site: a page aimed at "plumber in Menlyn" competes far better than one general services page. Growth and Authority have room to cover several areas properly.

Can I change my prices and photos myself?

Yes. Every build includes an editing panel you use from your phone. No charge for changing your own prices, and no waiting three days for a reply.

Can AI answer my phone while I'm on a job?

Yes. A voice assistant answers, handles the common questions, books into your calendar and sends you a summary. Anything it can't handle comes to you. One workflow with a voice line, connected to your calendar, is R19,500 to set up and R4,550 a month.
